Does toxic masculinity exist, mainly here in burgerland?
No I'm not talking about the tumblrized bullshit of 'manspreading' and shit, I'm talking about boys and men forcing a standard onto other fellow males.
In middle school, it was of course frowned upon to be homosexual, and Bi males were absolutely CRUCIFIED, while the girls mostly got away because it wasn't unusual for girls to be bi. I'm still suffering from sexuality dysphoria in a way, just because I know I'm bi, but can't come to terms with it due to the pressure and anxiety that stems from it.

It's mainly women who force that type of masculinity on men.

>tfw never had a choice to have genuine masculinity and was to stupid to degenerate further as a homosexual to the point of losing all my heteronormative tastes that I've had since(((????)))))

not really. Gender roles/stereotypes are enforced by ones own sex. They are shaped by the other, but not often forced on you by them directly. You don't see girls beating up boys for not being manly enough

>Does toxic masculinity exist
Yes, but that's only one aspect of the problem, and that problem is people forcing other people into a standard they don't fit, don't like or simply cannot uphold.
From sports to looks to education to behavior, political alignment, simple taste in movies, games or clothes, or even toys.
And with toys you can see the opposite as well, where parents get frustrated when their little girl wants the pretty pink princess instead of those genderless unisex toys.

Sure it does. When I grew up my languages words for "fag" and "jew" were the two most common insults between boys. Many boys would also test each other by physically attacking each other, and there was a heirarchy based on who was strongest/fastest. This lasted until around 8th or 9th grade where the heirarchy instead waa built around who was most sexually appealing to the girls.
Some of you pointed out that girls are less prone to bully/tease homosexual boys than the guys. While true, this doesn't mean they wouldn't shame the guys they viewed as available.

straight guys only act like that because they want straight girls to approve of them, if straight women didn't tell straight guys to fuck off if they seemed even a bit effeminate no straight guy would care

yep.
>mainly here in burgerland
lol, OP.
Get out while you still can.

Yes, but you do see women talking shit about guys for not acting like "men"
