We've all heard the term toxic masculinity being thrown around, what about the opposite?

They don't have to use the term toxic femininity because anyone who gets upset by it already sees femininity as toxic.

Yes it is, and stop being butthurt about the existence of toxic masculinity to the point that you see a thread about it and go "oh yeah well what about women!?" and make a counter thread.

One is just as real as the other. The only question is are they real at all.

I mean, you can get septic shock for not changing your tampon. That's kind of toxic feminity.

Toxic feminity is basically Regina George from mean girls. its why girls are catty and spend most of their time gossiping, bullying, or talking **** about other girls for fun. Theyre the best at being the fakest.

Yes and no

If you consider toxic femininity to be the idea of conforming to the societal standard of what it means to be a woman, then yes it exists, but those standards are also somewhat propagated by a patriarchy to begin with

So who knows

Wouldn't say it's a "thing", it doesnt really exist in social consciousness.

But it could exist, sure.

Or just stop being sexist and singling men out for toxicity.

"Toxic femininity" is typically known as "internalized misogyny"

Or maybe understand what the term means instead of assuming it's an attack on men when it's actually meant to liberate men from the dumbass norms forced upon them by old society.

Of course toxic femininity exists too.

In this case, it'd more or less be internalized misogyny (the idea that a girl shouldn't have to do certain things and that she should expect men to do certain things for her).

The idea behind toxic -inity is that gender roles have negative qualities which is they're "toxic". It's not really that hard to understand. People don't (and never have) fit neatly into these boxes of behavior based on biological sex alone.

Most things people call toxic masculinity isn't really what they are saying. One of the most bogus terms ever made in modern days.

I mean, decades before toxic masculinity entered public consciousness, "toxic feminity" was talked about generally. It's just not specifically labeled because it was pretty central in women's health and feminism.

You're pretty fragile, tc.

I see, I see. Thank you, that makes sense! So toxic [blank]-inity is just an official name for negative gender stereotypes and the behaviour associated with them?

If we're having a conversation about white racists who hate black people, does that mean we're somehow excusing other racists? If we're talking about government corruption does it mean that we're acting like corruption in sports doesn't exist?

I can't speak for everyone because I don't excuse any type of racism, but too often on social media the answer to this question seems to be yes.

And I don't understand what this has to do with anything.

You are acting like talking about toxic masculinity is inherently saying that women don't also have toxic behaviors ingrained into them by society and it's fucking stupid.

"manly" men vs "womanly" women
Likely a few stripes could be labeled as such.

When people call out men on their shit, they're not calling women perfect. Gotta stop seeing it that way.

Of course there are things women do that aren't helping society. Enough to deserve the amount of attention men get for it? Nope. Men had dominant roles for longer and still have more dominant roles, so of course their actions have more results at this time. That's how they set it up.

The difference is women recognized society's toxic expectations of them and made an effort to break out of those over the last hundred years.

Men? Well...

I don't have to be upset to tell you that you're saying stupid shit. Guess what? Acting like somebody is upset in order to discredit them without actually responding to what they're saying is also fucking stupid.
