attacking toxic masculinity is not attacking masculinity Yes it is. It's an inappropriate and offensive term to use. The lady who wrote the article is correct to be upset about it on her son's behalf. Precision has value. If you're upset about violence, complain about violence. If you're upset about someone praising physical strength or other classical aspects of manhood, respond to that specific argument. Don't use sweeping, general terms phrased in deliberately ambiguous ways that collect anything "masculine" under one roof. The simplest way to see you're wrong is to ask yourself how you'd feel if it suddenly became common to write op-eds in major media outlets on the topic of "bitchy women" and how "bitchy women" are a widespread problem that all women need to step up and fix. I think you'd find it troubling.
