FFN 092: The Myth of "Toxic Masculinity"

There's a term that's being tossed around these days that's really been bothering me the more I think about it. The term is "toxic masculinity." The reason that term bothers me is because, frankly, it does not exist. It's not real. And, to perpetuate the term is to do injustice to what it means to be a man in the first place – which is probably why it's pushed with such a heavy hand. I think there's a growing movement to undermine masculinity and the term, "toxic masculinity (and others like it)" is just one way to spread the propaganda that somehow masculinity is bad, or evil, or toxic. It just isn't the case. Masculinity, by its very nature is good. It's strong. It's assertive. It's productive. It's caring. It's compassion. It's charitable. And, I've even go so far as to say it's loving. www.orderofman.com/FFN092 Please leave us a rating and review!
