Or is it a phrase constructed to change the way society perceives the male sex in 2022?

I believe he is real, he posts here srs

It's not real. Someone made it up.

Not to say that some men aren't bad men and that some men aren't good men...

But toxic masculinity implies that if you're exhibiting male behavior, then you're somehow infecting someone or some chit.

Doesn't really make any sense.

It is a real thing definitely. However the term gets thrown too losely at everything and its over used.

Having a beard =/= toxic masculinity
Repressed feelings turning into depression turning into suicide = toxic masculinity

Jordan Peterson was asked this exact question and his answer is first define 'toxic masculinity'.

So OP, define 'toxic masculinity'.

Not seeking mental/physical help because being afraid of being jugded is a real toxic masculine trait. There are few limited examples of actual toxic masculinity irl.

-Repressed feelings
-Bullying of weak/different peers
-Being too violent for no reason

For example. As I said before the term gets overused for sure,

Toxic masxulinity used to b insecure manlets & tiny dink brahs picking fights with other men for no reason.
Then the feminist twisted it.

This. Smalldogbrah is right.

lmao when a man gets emotional about something and starts crying the first people to think he is a bitch are women. Case in point when Jordan Peterson cried during his Piers Morgan interview the majority of people giving him chit for it were feminist women.

you're looking forward to the weekend to watch a movie? Who cares about a movie?

Quote of the century. Epitome of testosterone

It's such a dumb term. Anything can be toxic. Feminine traits can be as toxic as masculine traits if they are somehow exaggerated to the extreme. Just by default someone having feminine or masculine traits, doesn't make them toxic.

That could be applied to any personality traits too. If you are too much anything, it's bad. So why pick on this masculinity? They wanna talk about patriarchy and all those things but then when anyone comes up up with actual statistics, they have nothing to say except to repeat these terms that don't even apply anymore.

this is a good definition. There's a difference between managing and controlling emotions into positive outlets vs repressing them. I tell some feminists ex-coworkers, that expressing emotions by crying and talking about them with wife, on the internet, or always expressing every emotion outward doesn't do anything other than kill trust in confidence. And rightfully so.

Many Social Justice type items can only exist in an environment where life is easy. Where nobody is worried about how to pay bills. Where nobody is worried about where their next meal is coming from.

"Easy mode" for life is currently in the process of being turned to the "off" position. High interest rates, slowing economy, significantly higher prices with less income coming in to pay them. Life is about to get significantly harder and less enjoyable for the vast majority of people, and this will mostly impact those who enjoyed most of the "free money" benefits from the last handful of years.

Basically, there have been a lot of females with a really easy life over the last couple years. And this gave these females the opportunity to push fringe nonsense ideas learned in College to other females because life was so easy and they could easily obtain a platform to do it.

When these females suddenly now have to work hard and provide actual value to society, they won't have time to push all these idealistic concepts on the internet. They will start to realize how much value men provide to society so they don't have to challenge themselves. Life changes quite a bit when people are worried about how to provide the basics to themselves and their family. It's been a while, and as a person who generally does things the right way, I'm looking forward to these chitty females fading back into the shadows.

Lol, I knew it was bad this Summer when I'm hanging out with 19 year old girls who were talking about "Red Flags". These were girls who keep also said they "try to keep a rotation of 5 guys at all times" and not anywhere close to settling down or trying to actually get serious about anything, but they somehow were expecting males they dated to be serious. All I could do was laugh at how difficult these girls life was going to be soon.

And what's actually funny is that I've noticed more toxic females come out of the woodwork lately. Males seem to be the same as always, but I've had a lot more conversations with random females who immediately start comin out hot and blaming me for things without even knowing me. Where you start talking to a girl and all of a sudden your anxiety levels are up significantly after about 10 minutes just because she's projecting all this terrible chit onto you.

There's going to be a lot more of this as priced go up and more job layoffs happen. This recession is going to impact females a lot more than males.

There's only so many times and even then they have to be at the right time and place where a man can get a free pass on being emotional.

The hypocrisy of what women say, vs what they do on "emotional men" is so easy to showcase. THis was a great example. I think it's just one giant crap test, to weed out the poozies.

toxic masculinity = masculine from beginning of time to 2020

Oh it definitely is, I'm just not sure it's used in the right way. For example, miscers "nice.gif" over boys being sexually assaulted by female teachers.

There's toxic females.

They use all the stereotypes of being a female to hurt and use others.

So, there's males who use stereotypes of being a male to hurt other people, and so on.

Toxic males and females are a tiny minority.

However, once again, the tribe in the media has Weinstein and Epstein and people in the media have been exposed to those people and of course think all men are like that. The media is constantly promoting its cultural issues and agenda.

It is when I walk in a room..

Yeah that was chit move on their part and one could accuse them of perpetuating toxic masculinity, it would be giving them a taste of their own medicine. Let's cancel them.
