Had a guy argue with me for longer than I should have engaged that the problem was toxic feminism and that women’s standards are causing this. That women are raising their sons wrong.
Like, my guy, who is imposing this standard of machismo on men but other men? Who’s calling guys pussies for ordering ‘girly’ drinks at the pub? I’ve never seen a woman do that. Who’s bullying guys in locker rooms for not being manly enough? Women aren’t even in there.
Your problem isn’t feminism, it’s toxic masculinity, enforced by other men. But go ahead and blame women for your problems. We’re used to it by now.
I mean, yeah. Toxic masculinity doesn’t come from women, it comes from the patriarchy. It’s all fucking bad for everyone. Worse for women, undoubtedly, but it’s really fucking bad for most men too.

As a guy, yeah guys might say those things, I was definitely worried that women were thinking those things.
Now that I am older, I give much less of a fuck. And I feel healthier for it.
