| Topic | Who created this "toxic masculinity" narrative? |
| legendary_zell 04/28/18 1:43:31 PM #15: | Toxic masculinity doesn't mean that all masculinity is toxic. It means that a specific level or expression of it is toxic. Even good traits can be toxic if they are expressed in the wrong way. This topic is made several times a week on this board and elsewhere on the internet. If you don't get it by now, I don't know what to tell ya. Incels are a pretty clear example of toxic masculinity. One element of a version of masculinity is to measure yourself through sexual conquests and desirability, they do that to such an extent that they take their lack of desirability as an identity and it warps them into hating women and more successful men. That's a toxic form of masculinity, hence toxic masculinity. It's what makes guys clown each other for being emotional and makes them bottle everything inside until they explode in anger or fall into depression. That's a trait associated with masculinity and it's def toxic....hence toxic masculinity. That's not attacking all men or disparaging masculinity as a concept. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
