*sigh* why do people misinterpret that phrase so much? I guess the way it's stated is partially to blame. "toxic masculinity" isn't saying that masculinity is inherently toxic and fuck men for existing. It merely admonishes forms of hyper masculinity and douchebagerythat are falsely hailed as "real manliness" by dick heads and mysoginists ex. raping/sexually abusing women just because you feel you're entitled or picking fights umecessarilywith other men just cause you can.

How about actually spelling out your problem with the term or idea instead of posting memes and trolling. I'm pretty sure the main issue any guy ever has with the term is that it seems to be saying all maculinity is evil or toxic. that is not the case. For example one could say that l women being catty and putting eachother down over appearance would be an example of toxic femenmity that needs to to be eliminated.

Some abstract concept that loosely maps onto human hormonal variation and sexual strategy which gets appropriated and molded by cultures into more productive behavior.

The message of the movie Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood is about toxic masculinity, that killing someone makes you tough and manly, all it does is create suffering. It's a fantastic film all around.

While maybe anons don't like his position on race, Clint can hardly be said to be a politically correct social justice warrior.

Toxic

Taking responsibility for your actions and standing up for what you believe in.

I wonder about this a lot. The Way of Men does a pretty good job of succinctly summarizing it, but there is some bullshit in it I think can be ignored. Short, strong read.

>>1951493
Yeah, that's what I mean. The idea of,the phrase is hypermasculinity is toxic masculinity. Masculinity is not toxic but forms of it can be.

Masculinity is about fucking and being fucked. It may sound crass or base but it is our biological function. Every action is based on this. How we play the game via being macho or beta or a nice guy or an asshole are all just different variations of how we fuck and get fucked. Huntingfor food is the penetration of other animals this was how we lived for many thousands of years and still do. All miltiary is ranked via how many dicks are stacked up. Masculinity is a pecking order of those at the top and the bottom. This is why we have leaders. Masculinity is not evil it is in fact the prevention of it. We fuck the fuckers and the fuckers fuck with our fucks.

>>1948575
The degree of your manhood.

>What's manhood?

Your ability to be a man.

>What does it mean to be a man?

To be a man means you are in tune with your inner king. You dominate over a realm of "subjects" and provide for them, take charge, are confident, have integrity, are able to defend your realm, etc. You are capable of being a warrior or lover when you need to be. You are a deep admirer of femininity but achieving your personal dreams are above women in importance. That's what being a man means.

Ever notice how people obsessed with masculinity are usually right wing and insecure? It's clear fascists were pretty homo erotic desu

Being a man means being wholly dedicated to the Revolution. It means putting a one's body at full service toward the proletarian revolution. It means subordinating yourself to the same criticism you level upon others. It means constantly striving under the Proletarians dictatorship to emulate the best elements of the socialist transition, to be at the forefront of the lower stage, pushing toward the higher stage of communism. It means not seeing oneself as an ideal but rather a piece of a collective striving toward statelessness.

Rightists cannot be men. To be a reactionary is a terrible thing. Dare to struggle, dare to win, fuck boy if you don't reply to this your mother will be killed by the spectre of communism in her sleep.

To be a woman means you are in tune with your inner queen.

>>1951819
Memeing aside, being a woman is about being a queen. But instead of dominating, they serve the king, instead of being a warrior they are mothers, and instead of achieving goals as the most important thing, sacrificing themselves to pure love would be most important.

Queen bees, Agrippina. Examples from nature and history that upend that notion.
>Instead of being warriors they are mothers
Clearly they must be both, look at a mother bear or Artemis who was the great huntress. They are hand in hand. The goddess Kali who created the world is also the one who devours it.
>sacrificing themselves for true love is what's important
Like Paris sacrifices Troy for Helan? or like how Achilles sacrificed the Achaeans for Briseis? Or like how a black widow spider devours her male mate after copulation?

You're working with a very narrow definition of what it is to be a man and woman.

>>1951970
>Examples from nature and history that upend that notion.
Nothing upends it. A queen needs to rule when the king is not around still, but when he's around, she serves him. Also, we're humans, not bees.

>Clearly they must be both, look at a mother bear or Artemis who was the great huntress. They are hand in hand. The goddess Kali who created the world is also the one who devours it.
The dominant form of energy here is still the mother, not the warrior. Sometimes she needs to defend, but when the attacking stops, the form of the mother continues. A warrior is entirely about the fight.

>Like Paris sacrifices Troy for Helan? or like how Achilles sacrificed the Achaeans for Briseis? Or like how a black widow spider devours her male mate after copulation?
I worded it poorly. I meant as in dedicate their lives to love, and surrendering their entire selves to enhancing their lovingness.

Brilliant insight there.

My ideals are shared with many, however. Men as kings, warriors, and lovers, women as queens, mothers, and lovers — nothing is out of the ordinary here. Simple enough to be wide reaching but narrow enough to fit a specific worldview.

It all comes back to our physiological differences. A man or woman can change their diet and lifestyle enough so that a man can have a very soft, weak body or a woman a very bulky and muscular body, but that doesn't change the fact that the man fills a woman's hole with his appendage and the woman is the one with the womb and a monthly cycle. One fills / gives during sex, the other is filled / receives during sex, nourishes a child for 9 months inside herself, and is affected for at least 2-3 days every month by pain in their crotch. It has seemed common sense to humanity for thousands of years then that men should be the stronger of the two, bred for combat, while the women should be soft, dainty, ready to be kind and nourishing to children, living a more relaxed life in order to tend to the home.

>>1953396
>seemed common sense
Because most production required fairly intensive physical labour so women were not able to seriously contribute economically.
Nowadays a woman can actually match fairly high status men in terms of productivity, and socially conditioning them towards the feminine role can actually be a handicap on that potential.

A spook.

>>1950269
>"toxic masculinity" isn't saying that masculinity is inherently toxic and fuck men for existing

Yeah, it pretty much is, because you can't just pick and choose which part of people's identity you find useful and trash the rest.

Unlike what people like you think, the same kind of masculinity that can cause a man to pick a fight or rape his wife, is the same kind of masculinity that rescues a woman from a burning building, or goes to war for his country.

It is of course uncomfortable for people like you to realize that though, which is why you call it "toxic masculinity".

>>1953573
Which explains why we're slowly headed towards androgyny.

And like all transformations that mix opposites, we are going to lose an immense amount of strong values in the process, but gain some new ones. And with new values, there arises new opposites, and the cycle continues.

But we're not ready to abandon those traditional male/female models yet. Women still need to give birth. Once they aren't needed for that anymore (technology will make that function obsolete eventually), all that will be left holding up those traditional models is reactionary movements and healthy men and women who are still strongly inclined towards those models due to their upbringing. And it's possible due to how popular it is to be inclined towards them that the majority will NEVER be ready to gravitate towards androgyny. A society would kind of have to start over, isolate itself from traditional values and be founded on the new ones from scratch in order to make it happen then.

>>1953627
Well I think that we won't head much towards androgyny. As soon as enough people become androgynous, the amount of people who are more traditionally inclined will dwindle and the demand for their traits will increase. There's probably a sort of equilibrium in which most males and females are traditionally-oriented while a smaller section of both is more uniform in their traits.

>>1953627
Not him but, we're never going to lose the traditional male/female models, especially not the fact that women are by and large attracted to masculine men, whatever they tell pollsters or their feminist professor.

I mean, Fifty Shades of Grey was the fastest selling book in the history of books; think about that for a second, a pornographic novel about a hyper-masculine alpha male who essentially forces himself on a virgin female, is literally still a woman's deepest fantasy.

>>1950269

I don't think that's necessarily true. It was literally a meme novel that blew up because everyone was talking about "how naughty those kinky females can be" buying that crap. Every single woman I've talked to that read it said they did is simply because of the hype surrounding it, and that it wasn't particularly sexually exciting.

Pointing to that novel as the epitome of female sexual fantasy is anecdotal at best, actual research on female sexuality is pretty scarce.

>>1953642
>>1953645
It's extremely unlikely, but still possible. The change just needs to be deliberately initiated by someone with enough power when technology has made it plausible enough.

Also, if we're going to use fiction as an indication of what people's desires are, there are also a lot of androgynous races in fantasy — elves almost in their entirety are this. There's been an imagination of this "morally superior androgynous race" in fantasy for some time now. But I completely agree that we are not even close to moving away from those traditional gender models because they are still in our subconscious, almost stronger than ever. The concept that the absence of those values makes demand for them stronger is also reasonable but is what makes up the movement called the reactionaries, which is nostalgia and a sign of degeneration.

>>1953675
Not him, but Twilight is probably a better example of female sexual fantasy. Men as supernaturally powerful beasts with hundreds of years of knowledge that want to be tamed by a young mortal woman.

>>1953706

Robots doing all of that is still a long way away. And even now when we do have robots doing things men are still crucial to doing all of what I posted above. The people who will design, build, fix and maintain those robots will also most likely be majoritarily male, the same ones that are responsible for doing so now.

>>1953770
They have long hair like the females and are very fair featured (light hair, glowing pale skin). It's a step, albeit small towards an androgynous imagination. Japan takes it to the extreme but they're just driving the hidden conclusion home, mostly because they lack the Christian influence (hence why they often interpret God as the gnostic demiurge).

>>1953694
>This leaves out the factor of choice which many women do

I mean by now it's pretty acknowledged that women choose to work less specifically because of gestating and raising a small child. It's definitely not just a socially conditioned response to want that, but it isn't for every single female. I think it's unreasonable to treat them all uniformally with that expectation. They need to have the flexibility to be able to pursue other trajectories as well, same with boys.

>And were never going to abandon them. Society and women will always need men to to the heavy lifting, do the jobs nobody else wants, innovate and fix things and clean up when shit hits the fan

To some degree that is true, but it's already obvious that the requirement for masculinity is much less than it has been in the past simply because of more efficient technologies. Less jobs in intensive labour and more jobs with technology and services means physical power is not as valuable as it used to be.
Even in terms of defense, conflict is not as imminent and having a protector isn't as necessary as it was before. If you're that worried about yourself you can just buy a gun.
I could see that trend continuing into the future assuming some disaster doesn't happen.

And innovating is not purely a male thing, the main requirement for it is Openness and intellect which plenty of women have.
Men do have an edge there, but it's not impossible for women.

I don't doubt that we will continue having a fairly significant male/female division but it's reasonable to assume the requirement for more extreme masculinity will diminish

Partly yes, as the way it is expressed in a given society is culturally conditioned. That being said testosterone has clear effects on behavior, thought, emotions, physical strength and bone density. The way a given culture defines masculinity always refers to those features so masculinity is not completely culturally determined and can't be considered really spooky.

But douchebaggery does not have to be exclusively male perpetrated but hyper masculinity is however, by men who are assholes, of course; not all men.
And that's the point: "hyper masculinity"(aka toxic [form of] masculinity) is not masculinity. It is a false sense of manhood that is merely used by a group of misogynistic males to hurt and control women and other men usually seen as having less power.
I will admit that the way feminist may write it sounds like they are condemning all masculinity at first and perhaps they need to fix their rhetoric( like many other things they argue). However, they are not wrong to say that hyper masculinity leads to a lot of these problems of rape or violence in society. Yes that is across all races.

>>1953595
You're going to have to explain this better because it makes no sense and I can not agree.
Protecting the people you love is the antithesis of hurting people because you can. You need to reevaluate yourself if you think this makes sense.
One can even argue, that besides the forces of nature, the concept of men having to "protect" women is mostly because of to toxic masculinity. Protect them from whom? Other men who are exhibiting hyper masculinity? We're back to square one.

>>1955889
First of I told you there are things that women really need to stop doing to each other(and to a lesser extent men because feminists feel women cannot be sexist to men) that even feminists believe is toxic to women's advancement. It is mostly to a lesser extent toxic to society than hypermasculinity though since few is severely injured.

Killing babies and raping (?? ) them is usually due to circumstance brought onto her by society (not enough money / inability to get proper birth control) or is not usual for them to commit, respectively. Not saying most men rape, I just mean of all the few perpurtrators, most of them are men. It is more a male problem because for the longest time it was praised as "manly" or "bad ass." Men having the power to take what the want violently with "might is right" morality.

Only the issue you mentioned of false accusation, can actually be considered toxic. Some could argue it is and I personally won't disagree. It goes back to the idea of women sabotaging others and bringing others down which needs to stop, yes. You can even throw in maternity fraud in there if you want. Also a woman using her looks and sex to get ahead in something that should be merit based. Again it is harmful to women's advancement and psychologically harmful to men women but it is not direct violence to all people like hypermasculinity, so that maybe why it doesn't get as much flack.

Masculinity is competition. Plain and simple. And from that competition we build codes of honor and so on.

This is why men often lose interest in their work when their workplace competition is women. Competing with women is just weird to alot of men even if they don't verbalize It. It kills the competitive drive. I try to ignore this baser feeling.

But yeah. From competition comes virtues of strength, resilience, stoicism, bravery and so on, and as we became more self-restraining, we introduced honor between others, respect, monogamy and moral standards to live up to. Now competing with morality between each other. Mutually enforced between one another.

Another point to remember is why girly men are ridiculed. Because originally they would have no value to a society that needs strength and resilient men. And being a feminine man meant you provided nothing and thus were deserving of the trash heap.

>>1957707
Just because competition is an aspect of male sexual strategy doesn't mean it's the entirety of masculinity.
It's obviously much more pronounced in males because females are the limiting factor in the species but that doesn't mean both sexes don't experience intrasexual competition. Because of the sorts of traits males select for female sexual competition is not materially productive like it is with males, and is pretty much overlooked.

>>1957191
>it's society's fault they are psychopaths
Nice job putting words ans my mouth and ignoring context. In terms of things like drowning or killing their babies, yes because those dire situations mostly happen still in society because of circumstances like poverty or lack of birth control access.
As for rape, obviously it's there fault then but I'm saying the fact that the criminals who do thesw are still overwhelming men and generally rarely women says alot.They were also never socially rewarded for such behavior (I mean,that in the most figurative way possible btw). Plus, in terms of rape regardless of age and gender, I brought up the point that it was excused in men as "manly" for the longest time because of might is right type of morality. You, of course, chose to ignore that. I mentioned that while many feminists would not consider those toxic behaviors I mention by females as harmful to both women and men and thus society at large, I would personally consider them a toxic feminunity if you want to make the case for it. The only thing is you don't have murder and other violence happening in higher frequency due to such behavior. Perhaps suicides?
>It also a male problem because men make up the most victims in, and have in highest likelihood of being victims of, all violent crime; including sexual crime.
Well...yes.I said that. Wait, are you agreeing with me or are you really this dumb?
I never said the negative effects of hypermasculinity (toxic) were not experienced by other men. I'm sure I made that quite clear. All that further affirms my point about how toxic masculinity has such a negative impact on society. And yes .

>>1957786
I think it may be a different kind of competition. The reasons for competing are different. Men compete to prove worth. Women compete over the worthy.

Women don't have the raw strength men have, and thus compete with something more covert (catty behavior, cliques, sex, beauty). This isn't wrong or anything. It'd just the best option to compete for each sex, generally. People forget we're still biological creatures. Sure we have free will but it's not easy to undo millenia of evolution. I hate to sound preachy but if you ever wonder why a certain sex has a certain trait or kind of behavior, trace it back to a time without a civilization. And just evolve it up to now.

I may have missed your point, I'm sleepy so I apologize

Women select for men that are resourceful and socially dominant, it's just so happens that attaining the former usually results in productive behavior for the entire community (the latter only sometimes does).
Men select for what, pretty face and nice asses? Girls competing for males is literally just making themselves look physically attractive since that is by far the most important selection criteria. The behavior you're describing (denigration, ostracization, etc) are only possible because some girls are much more attractive and therefore valuable and socially powerful.

> trace it back to a time without a civilization. And just evolve it up to now.

I don't disagree at all with this, I'm mainly an eliminative materialist so I accept all the evolutionary psych stuff. I just think that saying masculinity = competition is really oversimplifying and ignoring the fact that females do it to, for the reasons I described above

You still haven't adequately answered his question.

When a woman rapes a child or murders someone why is that not considered toxic femininity. Why are these actions inherent to masculinity but somehow alien to femininity.

>She does it because of society

You make it sound like when a woman commits a heinous act she has little agency in that act

>Men do it because of hypermasculinity which is a form of toxic masculinity

In this way you establish men to have far more agency.

The logical conclusion of your ideas is that women are little more than children who can't control their actions while men are subject to the opposite.

So are you saying boards that are full of /pol/tards like /tv/ and /int/ and,/pol/ are better? This thread was completely fine there was great discussion between alternating view point of gender (traditional/nature and nurture proponents). Sorry if every board isn't your personal echo chamber like /pol/. You can gladly leave if you'd like. We don't need you.

Scrolling through the thread there are quite a few posts that are at least a paragraph discussing the topic directly

It's pretty good discussion by 4chan standards

Someone is literally just upset the rhetoric isn't same misogynistic stuff they're used to (even though that viewpoint has been represented by several posters already)

>>1960360
I answered the question well. Killing and rape by a woman is not and never was common. More importantly, it has never been traditionally praised or expected anyway. Are you talking specifically rape of children or to all ages btw?
For men I'm talking all ages. In the distant past you weren't a real man until you got your first kill and violently dealt with people who openly opposed/disrespected you (see duels).
Raping was one of those things that was excused as "those manly/uncontrollable urges." It could even be used to punish a person (mainly women) for pissing you off or doing wrong. Men (patriarchs) were traditionally the ones with this power. Even if women did it a few times, it was still seen as more "masculine of them." To this day such ideas still leave inklings in our thoughts on gender as a society.

I am not taking agency from women; it was never given to them by society in the first place. I stated this with my example of past.We're still aware of them today. These terribly violent qualities once positively attributed to maculinity in old societies, we can call toxic or hypermasculinity. It is generally harmfull to the physical safety of society however, and thus it needs to stop.
I pointed out even in this post and with other posts things that have,always seen as strictly a women thing to do that if you want to argue, I could actually agree with. You haven't actually kept arguing those surprisingly. It's sad because that was your only good point. These include, cattiness, bringing others (especially other women) down, using sex apeal to unfairly get ahead in ALL aspects of life, even when merit-based. However, I mentioned the only difference is those behaviors are not so dangerous to most of society as violence of hyper masculinity. That is probably why, though even feminists want women stop doing that, it is not their main focus. Unless, again you want to argue otherwise, which I am open to hearing. Do you get it now?

>>1962876
>using sigh is subhuman...wow.
I would say the way most /pol/tards act on their board and how retards get "triggered " by words is more subhuman but hey, that's just how I see it.

Naww bro you just sound but mad that I called you out on being narrow minded and stupid. I didn't even say, strictly from /pol/ I just meant people with similar mentalities. I mentioned several other boards.Though /lit/ is mostly liberal, even they tolerate different discussions as long as it's not the same shit post or stormfagging. You're free to return to your echo chamber if you like(that ever board that is), however. We don't want you anyway.

Masculinity

1- The manifestation of an organism's male attributes, to the degree of intensity that these dominate the organism's psyche (personality, character).
As such, the masculine attitude, psychology, and its physical attributes (sexual markers of health and fertility) exposes the level the male sexual role has developed in the particular individual - its fitness as a sexual entity.

2- The expression of specialized physical, mental (psychological) traits often adopting social and cultural codes.

3- The physical/mental traits that increase the individual’s success within the context of its sexual, reproductive, role.

4- The dynamic aspect of being a male; the (inter)active manifestations of being a male, of maleness.

pff fine, I guess. However, when say such things, just know I'm talking about now. Many people on /lit/ are American. Are you from /lit/ btw? You seems slightly offended if not triggered by my post. I do not care for left or right wing people desu? They both end up being pretty extreme (tumblr, most fb users, or /pol/) and biased. I did admit /lit/ tends to atleast be more intellectually honest and tolerate different views rather than just block people. Provided the person isn't just spouting the same old rhetoric.

Eh, women contribute to society by selecting a good mate and being a good role model for their children. That also includes having a career these days. Socially and materially powerful women attract men who are also powerful. Especially in the STEM community. The best professors and colleagues I've ever had (male or female plus their spouses) were also some of the best parents I've ever seen.

Natural selection is still at work and both genders can be destructive or beneficial.

>>1963343

No, my testicles are not a societal construct.

>>1964841
My point is that sexual competition between men is beneficial to more than just the winning male while sexual competition between women is pretty shitty for everyone

>>1966175
And I think you're wrong. Sexual selection is more nuanced than you give it credit for. With women in the job market and sciences they do not need to rely on looks as much to couple with a high quality male.

There are plenty of men who offer nothing but their looks just like you say women do.

>>1964841
>>Eh, women contribute to society by selecting a good mate and being a good role model for their children.
