One of my biggest beefs with “toxic masculinity” is not that some men use their masculinity in toxic ways. You’d be hard pressed to find a woman who hasn’t dealt with a man who didn’t display toxic masculinity. A new, more educated sounding term which has seemingly replaced what we used to refer to as being an asshole, dick, douche, creep, or pervert. My main issue with toxic masculinity has always been the assumption only masculinity could be toxic. That only women could be victims, only men could be predators. When, as a woman (note that byline) I’ve been witness to women displaying “toxic femininity.” Evolutionary biology professor Heather E. Heying’s brilliantly expounds on this with her essay, “On Toxic Femininity.” The essay should be read in its entirety. But for brevity, I’m pulling what I think are the most poignant points:
Yes, toxic masculinity exists. But the use of the term has been weaponized. It is being hurled without care at every man. When it emerged, its use seemed merely imprecise—in most groups of people, there’s some guy waiting for an opportunity to fondle a woman’s ass without her consent, put his hand where he shouldn’t, right? That’s who was being outed as toxic. Those men—and far, far worse—do exist. Obviously. But wait—does every human assemblage contain such men? It does not. This term, toxic masculinity, is being wielded indiscriminately, and with force. We are not talking imprecision now, we are talking thoroughgoing inaccuracy.

Wow. She made it through the feminazi machine of academia and remains intact. Amazing.
If the Darwinian secularists were intellectually honest, they would identify feminism as an anti fertility cult that is detrimental to the survival of the species. A non procreating woman is simply not a fit woman.

Toxic people (assholes) come in all shapes, color, sex, and religions.
But man hating feminism (the poster child of toxic femininity) saw only man as toxic.
About time a mirror was held in front of them.
I thought stereotyping was supposed to be bad.
Did a bit of Googling on who this Professor Heather E. Heying is, that would commit such heresy. This is almost as bad as saying “It’s OK to be white.”
Came across this article written by her and Bret Weinstein, formerly of the infamous Evergreen College in Washington.
In this articles she and Weinstein recount what went on at Evergreen and what led to their firing. What a story! A soviet gulag would not be this repressive.
Well worth the read to get an intimate view of what went on at Evergreen and what is still going on in the madrasses formerly know as universities.
