It's decidedly not saying "men are bad"

And yet that is the impression it gives to literally everyone who sees it. You have to go through the exact spiel you just did in order to inform them of what it truly means. It is not a self-evidently informative name and the first reaction most people have to it is "that is inflammatory". It is a bad name and the fact that people fight so vehemently against "toxic femininity" in terms of both the existence of the concept and the name itself that I honestly believe toxic masculinity is an intentionally manipulative term.

I am will to accept the possibility that it was named in order to spur conversation and not to insult, but that is probably the best case scenario.
