No, he's been flagged for suggesting someone study the effects of a thing which he immediately admits he's just made up. It's not even "we should see if there's a counterpart to toxic masulinity", it's "I think there's toxic feminity, so we should study its effects!"
- ponderatul 8y agoYou mean the effects of the negative manifestation of certain behaviours. So you are saying that my logical leap, that because there is "toxic masculinity" ( which is a gross simplification obviously) that a counterpart to that in the feminine side, is something I just made up. I usually make statements drawing from observed behaviour and interactions. And I can't deny that if we look on a spectrum of behaviour, and on one side we have masculinity on the other we have femininity. If we go all the way to the left to the masculine side, there are behaviours there that are what the media says "toxic". But if we go on the otherside of the spectrum, to the extreme, and say that yeah, things are just rosy on the other side, we are doing a great disservice to the truth.
