    Yeah that’s what toxic masculinity is. People (men and women) hold toxic views of what a man should be, and punish men for staying from this ideal.

    You were a victim of toxic masculinity when you shared your feelings and were then victimised because of it. The people you shared your feelings with were toxic assholes.

      am i a victim of air because I have to breathe it? or a victim of capitalism because i have to work to pay my bills?

      there is no getting outside of it. every ‘woke’ person i’ve ever met also hates men for sharing their feelings, almost as if they are just virtue signalling…

      the only person who a man can ever open up w/o consequence is a therapist, because it’s a professional paid relationship.

      sucks, but that’s how it is. and nobody is interested in changing it.
