    Well, since feminists say that issues and discrimination affecting men are ackshually misogyny, I guess it’s all covered now right?

    Ackshually toxic masculinity is the explanation for most of those things you listed, but I’m betting you have the wrong idea about what that phrase means and will reply in a way that makes it clear you think the phrase is an attack on men.

      Different dude, but I’d like a definition from you if you don’t mind.

      I’m personally not a fan of it but I’d love never had a formal definition shared with me so I’m willing to have my mind changed.

      For me the issue lies in masculinity being a gendered (in my mind) term and the behaviors often described under toxic masculinity being behavior that are expressed by anyone. So I’d just call them toxic behavior and treat the people as toxic people.
