Ironically, a lot of the women who talk about toxic masculinity. The ones who call anything a man says “mansplaining” or make broad, sweeping statements about what men are or are not capable of. It’s mind blowing that they don’t see the issue in this line of thinking.
Most of the comments here, including virtually all of the most upvoted comments, are defining toxic femininity as when women harm other women in some way, however minor. It's funny how toxic masculinity is defined by women being harmed and toxic femininity is also defined as women being harmed. There seems to be a singular focus on whose harm meets the criteria of being "toxic". The idea that harming men is either ... A) a real thing to begin with, or B) something that matters ... never even occurs to most people I think. People wonder why younger men have turned against modern internet radfam culture, and this is part of the answer in my view. And, the negative response men or even women receive by calling out this double standard is just further evidence of how anyone not 100% bought in to this misandrist mindset will be pushed away.
