    The people who are offended by “toxic masculinity” already use pseudo masculinity to describe everything not toxic masculinity.

    All yold I think pseudo masculinity can only be more confusing.

      I’d never heard it before and I understood the implication before they expanded on it. I’m a woman and a feminist who thinks the term toxic masculinity is unsuitable.

        That may be. I’m just suggesting pseudo masculinity is worse because it’s already confused.

          But so is toxic masculinity. It’s used to describe men being assholes because they’re men, and not because they just happen to be assholes, too.
