Anyone else here agree with the toxic masculinity talking point? Like, most social ills come from greed and greed is caused by a desire to be high in the social hierarchy, which is a masculine trait, hence why women don't care and typically go for low paying jobs.
Greed causes environmental destruction, wars, inequality and corruption. So the worst trait a human can have is masculine in nature.
Not only that but this alpha mentality also leads to things like bullying and gang violence.
I'm not a feminist but I think it's a solid theory.
Also toxic masculinity leads to power seeking which in turn creates a cutthroat political environment in which only the most ruthless get to positions of power. In turn this assures the globe gets ruled by sociopaths who don't care for the average person.

yes I wish a girl just called me a faggot in public repeatedly and brought me back to her house where she'd neuter my balls with a meat mallet and keep me as her sissy maid
Kevin Carter
yeah you're a fucking pussy, no more of this please
Ian Miller
Don't you think a world in which everyone loved and cared for each other would be better than one in which everyone's struggling to best one another so that they can seem more alpha?
i wonder why men try to get high in the social hierarchy in the first place? im sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the best women only offering themselves to the highest bidder. women are absolutely innocent am i right?
But all of that toxic masculinity was the result of thousands upon thousands of years of evolution that selected for violent, covetous behavior that let those who best embodied such behavior got to have the most children (See: Gengis Khan)
This sort of thing has only changed very recently in terms of historical civilization. Men are very literally worth less sexually; they're basically sexual warheads that are meant to breed furiously and have developed many complex institutions, ideas, and endeavors, mainly to promote their own ability to produce children (whether this is outright said or not; many endeavors come down to a sublimation of sexual desire)
Bullying is something women do too, though; it's a social hierarchy sorting mechanism, unfortunately.
Toxic masculinity is just one aspect of masculinity. Where I get off board is when people act like all masculinity is toxic. That is a toxic idea in and of itself.

The problem with toxic masculinity is that it fails to identify what would actually be toxic masculinity. Greed is not masculine. women have an alpha mentality too in their social groups, hence all the scheming and petty bullshit they do. If you think women don't bully, you got another thing coming. But they do even worse by destroying people emotionally for the fun of it or because they feel they deserve the attention.
I would call toxic masculinity, the actual thing, to simply be the "my dick is bigger than yours" attitude where men act tough to the point they do stupid or hurtful shit for pretty much no gain but ego. On the flipside, there is also toxic femininity where you turn into a psychopath to fulfill your need for attention.
toxic men have ego bullshit through toughness, toxic women have ego bullshit through social manipulation. Two sides of the same coin.
so we can agree that bullying is toxic femininity?

Brody Wright
funny how masculinity suddenly stops being a social construct and becomes sort of a "beyond human" force when it's convenient for their narrative
Logan Foster
You're confusing toxic masculinity for masculinity in general, funny how everyone I've seen complain about "toxic" masculinity were all huge whiners. There's a difference to being Grug the Caveman (presumably what "toxic" masculinity is) and being a masculine person in general.
Adrian Perry
well i dont see feminine men getting swarmed with pussy, so there must be a difference between regular masculinity which attracks all the pussy and the toxic one that inst as sexy alluring to females like the regular one. it probably just becomes "toxic" whenever an unnatractive male acts masculine and theres no difference otherwise apart from who it is who is being masculine.
>The problem with toxic masculinity is that it fails to identify what would actually be toxic masculinity. masculinity, traits of being male, are toxic and incompatiable with humanity

>a desire to be high in the social hierarchy, which is a masculine trait
There is no greater force known in the universe, than the female desire to be high in the social hierarchy.
Jason Allen
women are more cutthroat than men though. At least the successful ones.
Cameron Green
I agree about as much as I agree with the toxicity of feminine passive aggression.
Brandon Cruz
So is women's passive-aggressiveness, pettiness, bitchiness, and backstabbing, emotional toying, and sense of self-entitlement. That is incompatible with humanity too.
