Solving hard problems isn't an inherently masculine thing, but basing a work culture's progression around being able to prove employees solved hard problems is a pretty good example of toxic masculinity. And the phrase "toxic masculinity" does not mean that all masculinity has problems, it's a separate (and pretty well-documented) concept.

- tomp 5y agoCan you list example of "toxic femininity"? If not, you're just sexist, full-stop. (c.f. "toxic blackness" or "toxic Jewishness")
- delecti 5y agoI'm not the one who named it. You're welcome to try and establish a new name for the phenomenon. Also, yes, "toxic femininity" is also a term (and is even linked from the other page), but for some reason I don't think you were asking in good faith. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internalized_sexism#Toxic_femininity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internalized_sexism#Toxic_femi...
