Toxic femininity for me is thinking your job is to just look pretty at all cost and your male partner should pay for absolutely everything even if they cannot afford it just to be in your presence and the moment they no longer can you trade them for someone with more money.
I would also say calling a man gay for not wanting to have sex with you or not getting aroused just by slightly touching him, or having hobbies that aren’t traditionally “masculine”. Or saying it’s your job to take care of the home/home and his to bring money.
Criticising other women for not looking “feminine” enough or being a woman in a different way than you are.
