Actress Meryl Streep criticized the use of the term “toxic masculinity,” arguing that toxicity is a trait that afflicts both sexes as women can be “pretty [bleep]ing toxic too.” Appearing on a cast panel ahead of the season two premiere of Big Little Lies, Streep made the comments in response to a male audience member who said he enjoyed the primarily female-targeted show.

Well, she is actually saying the term shouldn’t be used and should be used more often against women...

Women know this more than men. Women can hate other women far beyond hatred shown towards a man. Don't get caught between two women in a catfight, toxicity is huge.

I completely agreed with Kim Jong Un a couple of days ago regarding his comment on low IQ Joe Biden.

Is this a sign of the end times?

Meryl Streep has portrayed many toxic characters in movies. “The Devil Wears Prada”, “She-Devil”, “Death Becomes Her”, etc. Does a great job acting these roles.

Nit picky, I know, but: 4th paragraph down. Is it ANGLES (as in angles on a TRIANGLE) or is it ANGELS (as in from HEAVEN). Gah! So tired of supposedly reputable publications with constant typos, etc.

Women are far more clued in on actually how vicious their sex can be then are men.

Sugar and spice and everything nice........Women know better!
