Unfortunately, that doesn't really jive with this:
> Men aren't puppets, they have agency, they are responsible (really, far more responsible)
Women have agency. Many women do bad things, including enforcing toxic gender norms. It probably makes as much sense to call that "toxic femininity" instead of "toxic masculinity" when women do it, but you do you. Neither phrase is useful, because they focus on putting blame on one gender or another when toxic gender norms are really a collaborative effort.
