[quote=@Nytem4re] The only problem I have with toxic masculinity as they present it is that they claim it is the work of the patriarchy. Actually, both males and females contribute to male stereotypes, not just males, which is not what they claim it to be (patriarchy) Another problem I have with this concept is that it is most commonly used by radical feminists to blame men for pretty much everything they have an issue with. And yes, they have used this term in order to fit their agenda that only males are capable of such violent acts as these. It's something that is actually a decent theory, but is misused dreadfully and blame is disproportionately placed in general on males, as if everything wrong in the world is because of us solely. [/quote] Women aren't outside of patriarchy. While it's perpetuated by male power, women can still receive, accept and pass on patriarchal ideas. Not every woman is a feminist, or understands feminist theories enough to call bullshit. You sort of covered your second point at the end there, but having a problem with misuse of a concept isn't the same as having a problem with a concept. I think sandwiches are great. If someone makes one without bread I don't have a problem with sandwiches, I have a problem with them.
