One is the motte and the other is the bailey.
- monocasa 5y agoI haven't found that to be the case, after exploring the space not from what's filtered through propagandists.
- philwelch 5y agoHow would the people who use the term "toxic masculinity" react to the term "toxic femininity"? That's the tell.
- monocasa 5y agoToxic femininity is also a concept heavily explored in the same circles as the concept of toxic masculinity.
- michaelt 5y agoIt depends. If you take a list of traditionally 'manly' activities, like woodworking and growing a beard, then you subtract everything that women can do just as well as men - there are many skilled female woodworkers, we don't want them to feel unwelcome in the woodworking community, and woodworking doesn't make them any less feminine; after doing so, your list of 'manly' activities might be quite short and dominated by the toxic and the tautological, because everything else, like woodworking, has been removed. Personally I don't see things as that binary, but I can understand why some people might.
- pseudalopex 5y agoHow is that relevant to the meaning of toxic masculinity?
