Toxic Masculinity

There’s nothing inherently toxic about either masculinity or femininity.

Toxic masculinity is a loaded, sexist term. Of course I am not going to teach my sons to hate themselves.

But toxic femininity is ALSO a thing.

But most male-only sports are inherently toxic.

Especially problematic are lacrosse, tackle-football, baseball, boxing, soccer, water polo, crew, basketball, crew, and hockey.

This is a ridiculous statement.

Just keep lying to yourself.

Well, my kids chose to play club instead of HS. So they aren't in the HS culture. The kids in club are 100% about the sort--don't have time to drink or party. My kid gets home from HS does 4 hours of HW and then trains with his teammates until 10pm. Weekends they have games, many out of town. He isn't even going to homecoming this year because of a game conflict. My older son plays in college and none of his friends drink--these are kids that are very, very into their 'health' 'fitness' for the sport and watch everything that goes into their mouth too. He's also an academic at a T10 so like the other one---sports and school and laying low w/out booze is their downtime.

Recently, thr Harris campaign found men, ordinary men, who fight against toxic masculinity, which has become an issue unfortunately, in the race.

Pro tip: if you want people to vote for a candidate, make sure that candidate’s campaign doesn’t tell them they need to fight against the toxicity of their gender. Even if you actually believe it, just try to hide that during the actual campaigning.

That one’s free - the rest you’ll need to pay for.

It’s a terrible ad. I’m not sure who they are trying to reach with it.

What HS / college sports for boys are not toxically masculine?

Lacrosse is one for sure.

Remember those three Duke lacrosse team players who raped that girl ?

Oh, you mean the one where they were falsely accused of rape by a stripper?

Talk about toxic femininity.

Cheerleading, and cross country.

I seriously question the emotional/mental health of those that think toxic masculinity is a) a thing and b) somehow pervasive.

One way to reduce toxic masculinity among boys in HS and college sports is to hire female coaches for boys teams.

Of boys or girls sports, girls are a lot more toxic vs boys. I have watched girls team lose games because one click of girls were icing out a player. It is so sad to watch.

Yep, the case was 100% fabricated. Yet we wanted to believe so badly that those kids had done something bad because we wanted to push some narrative. You’d think we’d have learned something from that case but no. People still bring it up like those kids had actually done something.

This is libelous. Too bad you can’t be sued so you remember not to defame others again.
