Yeah, wtf? People b**** about toxic masculinity, but toxic femininity is so much crazier.

I'm not sure that's really an example of either. It's kind of based on both (the idea that women are all weak and pathetic and therefore must be treated delicately at all times (toxic femininity), as well as the idea that men should all be stronger than women (toxic masculinity) and should therefore not abuse that advantage), but the actual statement of "don't beat up women" is just a plain old weird double standard, not itself an ideal of masculinity/femininity.

Of course, I strongly suspect you're just using those terms to mean "men/women (respectively) doing bad things," because that seems to be the extent of your understanding of the concept, but meh. The counterpoint stands.
