Topic	So any form of masculinity is considered toxic now

This whole thing is about a handful of idiots online making idiotic comments that are in no way representative of men in general, but they're being taken as if they are. Right, but it's still enough idiots for it to be a persistent problem. To go back to the subject of women, and to take a milder example - such as catcalling - if you really fleshed it out with any woman they would have to admit that no, most men are not making inappropriate advances and comments at them as they go about their day. The point is it's enough men doing it often enough for it to be a problem they deal with all the time, every day, for many women any time they step out of the house. And just saying "but not all men" doesn't really help move the conversation forward any. And we would have to admit that this is not a problem men have to deal with really at all, so just dismissing it as "a few crazies" doesn't help either. Just curious... do you feel the same way about religious extremism? Wouldn't it be just as valid to say that "but not all [religious denomination] people" doesn't help move the conversation forward? I'm sure you can see the problems with following this line. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:904075959] in So any for...
