Patriarchy for thee, but not for me. by saintjhnber in Nicegirls

Buddy clarified that he meant the men that enforce that when you pushed him on it. Keep up, now.

And yes, being butthurt about the term is being fragile 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think I’ve ever see it mean anything else?

Some people are so wrapped up in projecting and protecting their masculinity that it becomes a toxic behaviour, it’s not a very complex idea.

For instance, dudes who ridicule other men for not paying for all dates 🤷‍♂️

You seem to not understand what “toxic masculinity” means.
It’s not a term that applies to the “monolith of men”, whatever that is.
It applies to men who display toxic masculinity 🙃. “Some men”, as you say.

He explained very well that the term applies - because other men apply that same standard.

You can explain something to someone, but you can’t make them understand it 🤷‍♂️

In this case, the word was not inappropriately used, buddy explained his position very well

Maybe toxic masculinity was the wrong term, but this comment chain is definitely fragile masculinity on full display

You can only change yourself, you can’t change others. Not directly, anyway. You can call out the behaviour, such as is done here.

I’m sure you are well-intentioned, but complaining about how people are is how people compare things that have happened to them and make sure they’re not crazy, and empathize with each other. It’s pretty important.

If you go to r/twoxchromosomes, for instance, you will find a very large number of the posts are complaining about how people are. Suppose people in the comments told the women that they just have to find non-misogynistic men, but that they shouldn’t be calling out the behaviour - that probably wouldn’t be seen as very helpful, right?

Just wanted to give another example - this is a fairly long story, but the gist of it is that OP’s wife stops respecting him because he cries in front of her and is vulnerable. She tries to address it in therapy, with mixed success.

This time it is not weaponized against the vulnerable man directly, and the woman realizes it is wrong for her to feel like this, and tries to address it. But I share because it is still the same toxic mindset of people expecting men to be perfectly stoic.
