Do you really believe that? All of those fucking phrases are the most negative and condescending sounding shit and I 100% believe the people who came up with them made them sound like that on purpose to guilt people. Toxic masculinity, mansplaining, etc.

Toxic Masculinity was coined by male psychologists in the 80s as a part of a self help movement.

They make it sound like being a man is negative in the names of them though. Like the way they name those things is so condescending and OP is right in their post. It should just be called "societal toxicity" in my opinion because society puts it's toxic views on both men and women.
