I can physically feel myself losing brain cells when people talk about “toxic masculinity”
Why?
It’s not real. It’s a smokescreen for the real problem, which is patriarchy. If men feel uncomfortable by violent consequences of patriarchy that make them feel bad about themselves—which they call toxic masculinity—it’s because they should. Men constructed patriarchy to oppress women and men benefit from it whether they feel bad about it or not. If they can call the root of this guilt “toxic masculinity,” it allows them to be victims and it obscures the reality of their role as oppressor in a system which exists to oppress women.
