I heard the term ‘toxic masculinity’ for the first time only a few weeks ago.
It’s a term that didn’t make sense then, and now I know it isn’t actually a thing.
It’s a way for the weak to blame the strong, when anyone who holds a characteristic that one of these weak people blame on a devious form of masculinity to add the masculine to the problem.
Masculinity is not and can not be a problem. It is who we are.
Masculinity, and the virtues and values and even the barbaric characteristics of masculinity, built nations, it defended towns, tribes, and ways of life from other men trying to conquer new lands.
And…
… It conquered new lands.
It expanded power, built infrastructure, saved lives and took lives. (Read This: 7 Steps to Stop Being a Little Bitch)
Masculinity is barbaric. That isn’t wrong. What’s wrong is blaming an evil on an entire gender, and a gender that has done a lot for this species.
I also heard the term ‘toxic masculinity’ applied to the Orlando terrorist attack, where a Muslim Extremist, who you can’t really call a Muslim, who was both gay and man at gays killed 49 innocent people in one night.
To ignore what he was – an extremely bad person – and instead blame the masculine, is weak and stupid. In trying to somehow make men feel bad for being men, you’re degrading what our boys need to become…
We need men! (Read This: Where Are The Men?)
We need ultra masculine men. We need strong men. We need warriors, thinkers, and men who will kill when it needs to happen, not men who will cower and cry and run.
I know, most people don’t think in these terms.
Most people are level-headed and good. They see the value of the feminine and the masculine. They see the differences in the two sexes and they praise them as uniquely necessary.
Toxic Masculinity isn’t a thing. It doesn’t exist.
There are pricks, ass holes, and bad people. It has nothing to do with their gender, because the gender, the feminine or the masculine that determines a lot about who they are, is a good thing.

I’d like to quote a great Man’s Man, Teddy ‘The Bull Moose’ Roosevelt: “speak softly, and carry a big stick.” This post/website is the complete opposite.
I’m guessing you haven’t heard the Strenuous Life speech, the Dare Mighty Things speech, or any speech given by this great man. He certainly did not speech softly nor mince words.
Sorry but I have. I guess both our analytical thinking brought us to clearly different conclusions/interpretations. For me, the words in those speeches or any other speech by great men does not reconcile with this website.
None the less, still interesting to read.
Ya just giving my two cents. Definitely have a lot to work on.
