This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Wholeheartedly agree. But toxic masculinity isn’t the only toxicity algorithmically dividing us. To varying degrees, I’m seeing toxic femininity (among women and liberals), toxic Zionism (among the Christian right) and toxic faux libertarianism / anti-tax (among the boomers.) There are probably more that I’m not thinking of.
I’m OK focusing first on the danger toxic masculinity poses. But we would be remiss if we ignored the others.
Yeah, I admittedly haven't finished the entire interview. I need to finish my workday first, so I'm only halfway through but Terry mentions earlier on about the term "toxic masculinity" and how it's too easily thrown around and how some men grab ahold of it and say "what's the use of it? ... I'm just a man and now I'm being blamed?". I'm paraphrasing but what he's saying loosely is defining the terms and problems and being clear so we don't get misconstrued.
