“Toxic Masculinity” is a Scam

In the post titled Toxic Masculinity is a Scam, I critically examine the complexities surrounding the term "toxic masculinity," challenging its widespread use as a blanket explanation for male behaviour. The article delves into the historical and cultural contexts that shape masculine norms, highlighting how the term is often oversimplified and weaponised in contemporary discourse. Rather than dismissing the concept entirely, I offer a nuanced perspective that recognises the difference between harmful behaviours traditionally labelled as toxic and the broader, positive aspects of masculinity. The piece also explores the moral and societal implications, drawing on religious and philosophical viewpoints to encourage a more balanced and constructive conversation about gender, identity, and personal responsibility.
