I got it working! Very valuable and good definitions.
I agree the term might be “blame and shame”-y because, as the author notes themselves, toxic masculinity positions one in a me vs. the world, aggressive mindset.
I like the terms the author suggests in their edit:
Instead, I refer to traditional or stereotypical constructions or norms of masculinity, and if I want to uses more critical language, I refer to patriarchal forms of masculinity.
TIL: toxic masculinity isn’t an academic term.
It’s an interesting read. More examples of toxic behaviour would be helpful, since it’s pretty open ended.
The link seems to be broken.
Woops double pasted the url. Should be fixed now but sometimes edits don’t federate. Link here: https://xyonline.net/content/toxic-masculinity-primer-and-commentary
I still can’t connect to it :(
I’ve noticed that edits seem to federate much slower than I had initially assumed. Definitely slower than new posts.
