Datboredberry: You do not understand the meaning of the phrase...I didn't say masculinity is toxic... There's a huge difference...
Masculinity is good...
The definition of masculinity or the traits associated with it might be bad... Or self-sabotaging...
Masculinity can affect men negatively...
For example...
Masculinity: Men are strong...
[This is good]
Toxic masculinity: Men shouldn't cry because men ought to be strong... If they do, they are weak.
[This is a stereotype that would hurt men because it prevents them from opening up and seeking support when they feel down]
Masculinity: Men are the aggressors (regards to sex).
Toxic masculinity: If men are the aggressors, then they can't be victims of sexual abuse...
Masculinity: Men are the head because they are the providers and protectors...
Toxic masculinity: Since men are the protectors, they are the last to be evacuated during wars...etc...
And since they are the providers, they always have to struggle to pay the bills... Sometimes, with not support from their partners...

Toxic masculinity: The many ways masculinity might not favour men... Or be toxic...

An example of Toxic feminity:
Women are fragile...
Some women assume a subservient position so they benefit from their partners... but it backfires since they usually become victims of domestic violence...etc...
*
*
* The reason why people speak more on toxic masculinity is because men usually fight in favour of patriarchy... Which doesn't always benefit them but they do so to claim superiority over women...

This thread for example:
Most men would not report cases if sexual abuse because they don't want to seem UNMASCULINE...
They don't want to seem UNMASCULINE because it would make them feel equal or less than women...
So they prefer to not speak out or even seek justice because of their weird definition of MASCULINITY...
If a man says, 'i have been raped'... Then he would not be able to say later that he's superior to women... Because he had been places in a position of SUBMISSION during his ASSAULT by a man... Or worse, by a woman...

Another thing... Men always try to make it seem like they are crazy over sex... That's why the boast of their high body counts...etc...
Toxic masculinity: how can a man who brags about his 'conquests' be raped by a woman?
Get it?
The definition of masculinity means being passionate about sex... This hurts men because they can not later say that they were rape victims...
There is nothing like toxic masculinity, men exhibit masculinity and ladies exhibit femininity. What should be of concern is fragile and weak masculinity and femininity which produces people like bobrisky and his likes
Since 2009, the militant Islamist group known as Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria. Instilling terror through bombings, abductions, and beheadings, Boko Haram is fighting to create an Islamic state in the most populous country in Africa.
VICE News traveled to Nigeria to embed with the country's army as it ramped up its fight against Boko Haram, whose rise has caused a state of emergency. As the only journalists on the front line in northern Nigeria, we witnessed the beginning of the largest military insurgency to date.
