There nothing wrong with it per se. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to do it either.
Where does free thought and will play into this new world yall creating?
There's countries where men greet each other with a kiss. If you don't go along with it are you a toxic male too?

Truth is toxic masculinity does exist just like toxic femininity exist because toxic humans exist.

there’s more profit in pushing against toxic masculinity currently though.

Profit? Speak on this for us.

:unimpressed: I'm bored of the toxic masculinity narrative because of how much it preaches about men can be who they want to be. and other men are keeping Men being themselves. But they uplift one type of men online, and irl the complete opposite.

There’s also social barriers against calling out toxic femininity too.:hubie:

This is what I was alluding to as well.

Nothing wrong with it, but culturally it's a cut off age usually for when this kind of affection is culturally acceptable. (in america)
Culture evolves though so if the new wave is for 30 yr old to lay on their dad chest then so be it. There are cultures where men hold hands, kiss, and invade each others personal space. It's only weird and sexual (or whatever the issue is here) if the society deems it so

:comeon:This is toxic femininity disguised as toxic masculinity.
:whistle:
There is literally no such a thing as toxic femininity, it's a reactionary term created and paddled by people who do even understand what toxic masculinity means.

Society doesn't define those things as femininen like it does with toxic masculinity.

Toxic masculinity is a thing because society generally define those ideas as masculine including women.

It's almost like you're missing the point. If you can't lay on your father because it isn't "manly" then your definition of masculinity is toxic, so toxic that it inhibits the way you show affection for people you love.


Everything from sexual assault to saying "I Love You...Bro" has been called "toxic masculinity."

Y'all need to get a grip.

The subject is not scientific and words like "toxic" are thrown around loosely with limited context.

"Twitter" refuses to tackle the subject seriously.

An inhibition isn't "toxic" in and of it's self.

It's time to define the term and bring the concept up for a peer review. Because it's now word you throw around for shyt you don't like about men.

And with the passive aggressive "missing the point" shyt, Matt.

:mjlol:

You invalided toxic feminity for the same reason you validated toxic masculinity

"Because society said so"

:mjlol:

yes, let's place a moratorium on it's usage until we can have a more academic discourse. Until then, we can find other language to describe men teaching young boys to suppress their emotions because "men don't cry".

How do we describe the irrational fear of people assuming men are gay if they aren't standing in a certain way or if their wrists are hanging at the wrong angle of attack?

Toxic masculinity is supported by society and is generally what defines your masculinity.

Meanwhile toxic femininity is a meaningless term right-wingers pulled out of their a$$holes to counter tE eViL fEmInAziS much like the alt-left and alllivesmatter.
