Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?
SeattleRain@lemmy.world 5 months agoI do understand “Toxic Masculinity”. It’s right in the word and is much like how conservatives would blame " black culture" for the societal ills of African Americans.
You simply denying that that’s not what it is doesn’t debunk anything.
And we have a term for societal expectations already and it’s called gender roles. Which isn’t a loaded admonishment like toxic masculinity.
All of feminism revolves around the critique of men which is an inalienable trait.

Specific aspects of gender roles are what toxic masculinity criticizes, you’re trying to substitute a general term for a more specific one. Toxic masculinity specifically refers to the ones that are toxic, not the fact that men have gender roles at all. It’s, like you said, right there in the name.
