One of the subjects I come back to
fairly often is the idea of toxic masculinity.
It’s something that I personally feel is important to talk about
because of how much it directly affects men and makes our lives
that much harder and that much worse.
However, whenever we talk about
masculinity in any form, there is such a regular response from
people, in the comments and on twitter and elsewhere, that you can
practically set your watch by it: “when are you going to talk about
toxic femininity?”
And you know what? Fine. Buckle up folks, 'cuz we're doing this.
Show Highlights:
- Why nobody can agree on a definition of "toxic femininity"
- What we don't understand about toxic masculinity... and how that affects how we see femininity
- Who gets to define what is or isn't toxic behavior
- What are the differences between "toxic" forms of manhood vs. womenhood
- What is the source of toxic femininity
...and so much more.
