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".

Then maybe native English speakers should fucking learn what words mean. "Masculinity" doesn't mean "the state of being male"; it means "manliness", i.e. a cultural ideal of what a man "should" be or strive towards. This is pretty basic semantics.

Actually, the fact that "masculinity" apparently equates to "maleness" in their minds is, itself, probably a product of toxic masculinity.
