this is gonna sound so counterintuitive and and perhaps Problematique and i can't rly put my finger on why but whenever male public figures use the term ✨toxic masculinity✨ it makes me side eye them; it gives me the same vibes as ppl using therapy speak ?? like when u say that you are fighting against toxic masculinity are u understanding it within the context of patriarchy or are u just co-opting it for brownie points and your own benefit

#eh.txt #another part of it is maybe the way women online react to it #it's always like ''omg he's so amazing for fighting against toxic masculinity wow ❤''#and it kinda gives how people praise keanu reeves for not dating women half his age #like men being praised for the bare minimum #when it feels like with some dudes #even if they '''''challenge'''' masculinity they still end up being misogynists #or don't even actually deconstruct/challenge it beyond like painting their nails #does anyone else feel this? am i making sense? lol
