Toxic masculinity is used to describe specific masculine traits and qualities that are harmful to men and everyone else.

Here are some traits and qualities associated with toxic masculinity:

Mysogynism.
I.e. an intense hatred for and bias towards women.

Mysogynists believe that women must obey mens demands at all times and have no free will.

Stoicism.
There is still the widespread misconception in our society that a man is weak when he expresses emotions.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

Because real masculinity is all about openness. It does not suppress, deny or reject emotions but rather acknowledges, expresses and controls them in healthy ways.

And although stoicism is a good practice to transcend neediness and to learn to control emotions better, pretending you don't feel anything harms and damages your psychology.

Toxic Masculinity is Insecure Masculinity

The sayings "Man up!" and "That's not what boys/men do" are the reigning sentiments of Toxic Masculinity. You're not doing it because you want to, but because you want to be a man, be a big boy, etc. The phrase "Man up!" is another way of saying shut up. Shut up and accept whatever bad thing is happening that you care about. That sentiment is why a lot of men see men who care about issues and say they are "soyboys" or too feeling. Men aren't supposed to care. They're supposed to accept it and adapt to a life around it instead of not letting life get this bad in the first place

Despite the fact that Toxic Masculinity is a term constantly misused by women to the point of maliciousness, it IS a real thing. If you look at a man and think he’s less of a man based on what he’s wearing on his body or his face or who he has on his arm, you are perpetuating toxic masculinity. He is not less of a man because of what you personally deem makes a man a man

Toxic masculinity is the adherence to masculinity to the point that is harmful. Masculinity in itself is not bad. It's that certain traits or concepts that are considered “masculine” are harmful, and therefore toxic.

For example, the idea that men should never express emotion. This is harmful, as holding emotions inside or not dealing with your feelings properly is notably bad for your mental health, and it can also harm how you relate to your friends and spouse (ie, you may not be able to and your relationship could suffer as a result).

Or the idea that men cannot be abused by women. That's a result of toxic masculinity. It's not “masculine” to admit that a little weak woman was able to harm you, the big strong man, so your suffering is ignored as “being a pussy”

we could go on and on about TOXIC FEMININITY too:

- dont you find it funny that ALL women have someone at work that they hate?!?!?
- why do you think there is so much issues in marriage related to MOTHER IN LAW, and not father in law?!
- dont you find it strange that a woman will hate another woman if she hangs around her man?!
- why do you think women gossip all the time about other women (about their look, the way they dress or their body etc)?
- why do you think a woman will attack the girl she caught in bed with her man, but do nothing to her cheating man?!
- when a woman believes that she has more right than you over your child, just because she is a woman
- when a woman believes that because she has a vag1na, you should give her the world, while she should only offers that vag1na in return.
- when a woman store shiiit for weeks/months. and then suddenly throw it at you at the next disagreement.
- when you are in a r/ship with a woman and she believes she should be the only female friend you got.

the reality is that women are just as toxic as men...
