Comment on How possibly?
Wren@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoLove the term “pseudo-masculinity.” It takes away from the gender slant of toxic masculinity, implies anyone can have it, and makes clear it’s not what masculinity should be.

The people who are offended by “toxic masculinity” already use pseudo masculinity to describe everything not toxic masculinity.
All yold I think pseudo masculinity can only be more confusing.

I’d never heard it before and I understood the implication before they expanded on it. I’m a woman and a feminist who thinks the term toxic masculinity is unsuitable.

That may be. I’m just suggesting pseudo masculinity is worse because it’s already confused.

But so is toxic masculinity. It’s used to describe men being assholes because they’re men, and not because they just happen to be assholes, too.
