Toxic masculinity™ is a bogus theory invented by feminist Raewyn Connell after brief and biased observation of students at an Australian high school. Much like the feminist idea of the Patriarchy™, toxic masculinity™ only exists in the imagination of feminists. When my father died in January, I stayed strong and supportive for my Mom and sister, rather than wail at the top of lungs in grief, which is what I did in private. I had a feminist shame me for that calling it toxic masculinity™. Feminists have also said my being raped by a woman and then being denied help from the feminist run rape crisis center, then being bullied and attacked by feminists when I shared my story in me too discussion is an example of toxic masculinity™. Feminists have claimed I have toxic masculinity™ only because I am a bodybuilder. (Ironically, I have been told being a bodybuilder is a sign of fragile masculinity™.) The American Psychological Association lists courage and ambition as traits of toxic masculinity. They cite no science in support of this. They only cite feminist theory. Shaking hands is toxic masculinity™. A feminist writer said skyscrapers are toxic masculinity™.
