On a meta-level, I have to say I am a bit mystified as to why use of the phrase "toxic masculinity" is tolerated on HN. It is not a generally recognized medical phenomenon nor recognized by the general public as an issue outside of a small group. Moreover, were a poster to attach "toxic" to any other gender, race, or creed, they would be justly pilloried by HN readers and the moderators would quickly take action. @dang/@sctb, "toxic masculinity" is also one of those politically and socially charged phrases that tend to "generate more heat than light", as I believe one of you once said. I will echo a recent post by tptacek that dang responded to; it wastes the time of commenters and I ask you to reconsider permitting its use on HN.
