Comment on Why, as a male, when emotionally do I only feel accepted by women but not by men?
Nashua@programming.dev 9 months agoIt’s not the gender being referred to as toxic, rather the societal expectation for men to behave a certain way - tougher, harder, to not show weakness through expressing emotion. Toxic masculinity can come from people of any gender.

Not to mention, toxic masculinity hurts men just as much as it hurts the people around them.
Men are victims of patriarchy too.
I hate that terms like toxic masculinity have been poisoned by such frequent misuse.
