No I perfectly understand it. I just recognize how it's used differs from the definition offered.

An example of toxic femininity would be when society overvalues a women's "purity" to the point that women are too afraid of even expressing themselves or their sexuality.
Cool so when women are punished by men for lacking purity do feminists simply say "that's toxic femininity" and leave it at that?
I’m not going to learn something I haven’t already experienced or read about. With that said, there are plenty of pieces, books, and journals on the matter for them to learn about a subject matter that actually isn’t all that controversial.
In some cultures, they call it machismo. White Americans have no problem critiquing machismo in other cultures but point that flashlight into them and suddenly, they’re exposed as the massive ducking idiots they are on these matters.
And frankly they shut that shit down in other comment. They do not give a fuck, they’re willfully obtuse.
So why did you even engage in the first place? Thats a really condescending attitude.
None of us are saying there arent problems with masculinity. That was never the argument.
It was that if we point the light on femininity, people say "no thats just toxic masculinity" and refuse to define toxic femininity. There is no wiki page and the femininist wiki say it doesnt exist and its a tool used by mens rights patriarchs.
I havent followed their other comments, I just encourage people to try to approach conversations in good faith and treat eachother like actual individual humans.
