And by the way, notice how they're deploying their "isolation" tactic, trying to isolate the Boy Scouts story only instead of addressing the big picture, which I did.
They do this to minimize the point. The Boy Scout story is just one of many, MANY examples of the point. I even brought up others in the OP.
These people just have to lie to cover for what they're doing.
.
I don't even know what to say. I mean I AGREE with you,
but what more is there TO say?
The harm is trying to marginalize normal healthy behavior is obvious, and those supporting it won't even defend it, they move to attack, deflect, distract.
From your first link:
"To clarify, “masculinity” in this context refers not to men’s innate traits, but to the cultural construction of manhood. When we talk about the harmful effects of toxic masculinity, we are not criticizing men, but are calling out the unfair standards imposed upon them."
They claim they are not criticizing men.
Then.
"This form of masculinity has nothing to do with being a man, and everything to do with being an emotionless robot with alarming social opinions including:
- Loving sex, but not really liking women.
- Violence is the way “men” solve problems.
- Dominance over women.
- Believing that they are entitled to success due to their gender.
- Labeling men who don’t subscribe to this mindset as “Beta.”"
What a load of crap.
In my adult life, I have never met a man who thinks that violence is the way to solve problems.
Nor thought that men were dominate over women.
not believed that they were entitled to success due to their gender,
nor labeled any men they disagreed with as "Beta" (other than some lib assholes on this site)
