Publish Not your original work? Add source When you hear the word 'toxic,' odds are, your mind's bound to add the word 'masculinity' on top. Most of us have heard about toxic masculinity and the issues it poses to men, women, and society as a whole in quite some depth. However, a topic that's addressed far more rarely is toxic femininity. The mirror image to toxic masculinity, toxic femininity deals with the perception that some women have about how other women 'should' behave and what makes a 'real' woman. Redditors have been going into detail about what exactly constitutes toxic femininity and how some women express it. Have a read through their responses to redditor VysX_'s viral thread and let us know which of these examples you agree and disagree with. Have you noticed any of these in real life? Share your thoughts with all the other Pandas in the comments. Nancy Doyle, writing for Forbes, explains that she's seen toxic femininity described in a variety of ways. Including backstabbing, failing to support other women in their success, and also as a potential "tool of the patriarchy to undermine femininity." This post may include affiliate links. #1 Women who think other women that enjoy cooking, child rearing, and homemaking are perpetuating stereotyped gender roles enforced by the patriarchy.

Tearing other women down because what they enjoy doesn’t fit into the tiny box of what YOUR version of feminism should be is toxic femininity to the max.

View more comments According to Doyle from Forbes, in the workplace, toxic femininity is akin to passive aggression. "It's when we allow relationships and productivity to suffer because we're not being honest about our own objectives, or when we are assuming we know best with a 'caring' face. It's being a 'Karen' and it's not a step forward from patriarchal systems of control. It might not involve yelling, but it's still manipulating other people," she explains. "The answer to centuries of toxic masculinity is not a new era of toxic femininity, it is leadership and membership behaviors and skills that are, frankly, beyond gender and appropriately contextualized." #4 Thinking men can't be abused by a woman Few_Cup3452 , Christian Erfurt Report Final score: 308points POST Gurnox Gurnox Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Or thinking other women can't be too 75 75points reply View more comments #5 “Breast is best” “Women who have C-sections aren’t real mothers” “Real women have curves” “I’m not like other girls” Etc Kopcalysm Report Final score: 270points POST Ian Reynolds Ian Reynolds Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago My wife had a c-section and our daughter and my wife couldn't take to breastfeeding, and people would make comments about how natural birth and breastfeeding makes real bonds.

View more comments Doyle notes that communication and honesty can help move past both toxic femininity and masculinity. "Instead of rescuing, ask people what they would like to have happen and give them the tools to do it themselves. Instead of being a victim, state clearly what you would like to have happen and police your own boundaries. And instead of persecuting, check your assumptions and instead notice the pattern or process that needs fixing, not the people." Meanwhile, here's a refresher about toxic femininity's partner in crime, toxic masculinity. Psychotherapist Silva Neves told me earlier that toxic masculinity is a general attitude perpetuated by systemic misogyny, as well as a set of distorted ideas about what men should be like. Some of these ideas include not showing vulnerability, striving to always be winners, and not being weak or soft. #7 Probably the whole “I’m not like other girls” thing.

View more comments "Men with toxic masculinity usually have negative views towards women's rights (including their rights to the freedom of their own sexuality) and they tend to be homophobic," Silva told Bored Panda. "A man with healthy masculinity is the opposite to these traits: someone who is self-reflective, embraces their emotions including sadness, anxiety and crying, a man who isn't afraid of their own femininity and believes that women are equal, and therefore are very clear about respecting boundaries and consent with women," the expert continued. According to Silva, healthy masculinity means that an individual "embraces gender, sex, and relationship diversities including gay men and transgender people. Someone who is comfortable with their opinions to be challenged and able to have debates." #10 Mother who treat other people [poorly] and then justify it by saying they're a mama bear zanovar , Kenny Krosky Report Final score: 234points POST Lovin' Life Lovin' Life Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago There is not justification for treating other people bad! 56 56points reply View more comments #11 When we s**t all over men and boys, while calling it "Modern Feminism".

View more comments #16 Probably the culture around eating.

When I was 17-18, a few friends kept saying how much more attractive I’d be if I lost weight, how that’s why most guys weren’t into me, how I’d regret not being skinny in college, etc. My BMI was slightly under 25, so I wasn’t overweight, but I was close to it, especially compared to them.

So I basically became anorexic from 18-20 just because the feedback was like a high. I recovered, but not enough to make my mom and others happy, even though my BMI was 22-23. This continued for years between friends and family, and it was exhausting cycling between being too skinny or not average enough.

That’s really the only strong example I can think of. No matter the trendy body shape, the criticism from others will always continue. I’ve only had one guy ever comment on my weight compared to the many, many women, even strangers

I remember I met up with my gf at the time & she asked, “Why do so many people care about her dying? It’s not like she was pretty anyways.”

This was the type of girl that says, “What??!! I am SOOO nice.”

Safe to say, the lord blessed me with a brain and I GTFO’D that relationship.

To this day, she is still in contact with me & recently she complained that guys use her & she can’t figure out why nobody will be with her.

I think this particularly applies to women as popular culture suggests women should all naturally be psychologists, when in reality a proportion are as clueless as the average man. 14 14points reply View More Replies...

An important thing to remember about "toxic femininity" and "toxic masculinity", is that these are NOT just about people who are jerks who happen to be male or female. The terms are about behavior that is considered by society stereotypically "feminine" or "masculine", but taken to an unhealthy level.

Chucky Cheezburger Chucky Cheezburger Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yeah, humans are looks oriented, I think, because thats usually the fist way interact with others.We see them and either find them attractive or not. It isnt until you get to know them whether that opinion changes or is reinforced and a relationship can begin ( or never start). -1 -1point reply John Baker John Baker Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yep.

No they don’t -4 -4points reply Natalie Kudryashova Natalie Kudryashova Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Most of these aren’t specifically toxic femininity, just generally being a jerk. 19 19points reply J.

Hel-B Hel-B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Couldn’t you say the same about toxic masculinity then? 1 1point reply Chris Jones Chris Jones Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago These are a bit of a mix. Toxic masculinity is about 'man up' and 'don't cry' and men are tough stereotypes that are forced upon men and are harmful to men. Toxic femininity is where we do similar to women and assume that they must be a certain way to be feminine. 11 11points reply Shon Shon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.

No, because so-called toxic masculinity is linked to male-specific behaviours. -12 -12points reply Doubleheader Doubleheader Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago A lot of these examples listed in the article exist due to our patriarchal system. An example being the divorce bit. Why is it that women are favored more in divorce hearings? Because the narrative of women being the mothers and the care givers are so etched into our minds that it creates a heavy bias. 0 0points reply Ozacoter Ozacoter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Definitely. Both toxic masculinity and the examples given here are caused by sexism 1 1point reply ChickyChicky ChickyChicky Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Indeed. A lot of these are the reaction of people who feel powerless and are trying to feel like they have some kind of control in their lives. 1 1point reply Aliquid A Aliquid A Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I would say it is about 50/50. -1 -1point reply Biljana Malesevic Biljana Malesevic Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden. Click here to view. You right. I didn't like this article. -8 -8points reply Aliquid A Aliquid A Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Some of these are great examples, and some of them suck. An important thing to remember about "toxic femininity" and "toxic masculinity", is that these are NOT just about people who are jerks who happen to be male or female. The terms are about behavior that is considered by society stereotypically "feminine" or "masculine", but taken to an unhealthy level. Also, some of these examples are about aggressive feminists... which is also a different thing (they typically and purposely don't fit the cultural expectation of being feminine at all) 16 16points reply Ripley Dog Ripley Dog Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yeah, I noticed most of these are just "stereotypical bad things some women do but I'm going to call it toxic femininity because I have zero idea what I'm talking about." Absolutely infuriating to watch people continue to conflate feminism with "man hating." I think BP was just forced to do this post because every article about women is drowning in "NOT ALL MEN!" "WHAT ABOUT TOXIC FEMININITY" and the like. 7 7points reply Load More Replies... Carrie DeHaven Carrie DeHaven Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago A lot of these are examples of internalized misogyny, a lot (as you said) are individuals being jerks, and some are fictional. I guess BP felt pressured to compile a list for the incels. 2 2points reply SpookyUnicorn SpookyUnicorn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Ngl this does read like one of those not all men comments and yes I say this As a woman .
