I see that usage of the term "toxic masculinity" has waned in the last 3 years. Thanks God it's finally dying. People just aim that word at anything that isn't some super soft a$$ crap.
#overused terms#txt#i hope misogyny and patriarchy are next in the list of “words that are used so damn much they lost their meaning”#it might have been about pointing hypermasculine/macho/ultra-masculine behavior that people back then used to refer to as precisely that#in the beginning but then it became about shaming normal masculinity#because you know men are the oppressor class so everything they do is wrong#the same goes for white people heterosexuals cisgenders able-bodied people “neurotypicals”#they are all part of the oppressor category. f*ck nuance and having basic intelligence. just buy into retarded sh*t#like honestly. people simply used to refer to these kinds of men as a$$holes/jerks#if we go by how it was INITIALLY used. not how it is used now#that behavior had never been accepted by civilized society at large and still isn't#like rap was heavily criticized back then because of the “toxic masculinity” it radiated. people called it “hypermasculine”. this was#going on in the '90s. now we can get into how it was racially motivated but it proves how people have never accepted jerk behavior or the#perception of it. y'all think society accepts that crap when christianity and chivalry actually came about to combat that#cuz the society it resided in was really barbaric and needed it to be channeled for GOOD. they needed virtue and heart and care#it's the opposite of “toxic masculinity”. i mean christianity is still a “patriarchal” (in the actual traditional sense: role of fathers)#but it's the most benevolent that has ever existed and ever will. no society has ever been perfect and christian have still dealt with tons#and tons of issues but christianity is still the most benevolent and fair religion on the whole planet. it's not even up for debate#**culture#rule**
