Toxic masculinity? Liberal woman explains what she REALLY wants from men | HBR Talk 274
from Honey Badger Radio · host Honey Badger Brigade
Feminists attribute all of their criticisms of male behavior to the phenomenon of men trying to live up to traditional gender roles and norms they’ve labeled “toxic masculinity.” These roles and norms, which they refer to as “patriarchal” in the patriarchy conjecture they call “theory,” are allegedly enforced by social pressure from, according to feminists, other men. Among the most toxic is the “pressure” to fill the “head of household” role, a role of responsibility and authority. Yet, feminist women still expect men to make relationships with them. And what do they expect from these men?
