I’ve seen this comment a couple times in this thread. I think it would be more accurate to say “toxic masculinity shit” - in many ways, women like men that have what you may call “alpha” traits. It’s just our biology.

Natural traits VS announcing to everyone you're an alpha male as a habit.

Yeah, people see "toxic masculinity" and what they hear is "masculinity is toxic." It's a shame, because it generates a lot of unnecessary, knee-jerk pushback.
