I guess I’m on the fence about it. I definitely can see the use in calling out that it’s things that certain subsections of society expect of men, but it’s still just “toxic behaviors” to me. Thank you for answering my question though!
Different dude, but I’d like a definition from you if you don’t mind.
I’m personally not a fan of it but I’d love never had a formal definition shared with me so I’m willing to have my mind changed.
For me the issue lies in masculinity being a gendered (in my mind) term and the behaviors often described under toxic masculinity being behavior that are expressed by anyone. So I’d just call them toxic behavior and treat the people as toxic people.
VW does parts pairing. It resulted in me having to get a new vehicle when my steering wheel controls and air ag stopped functioning. Turns out you have to program the clockspring with the old clockspring and bringing it to VW resulted in a 350$ charge for them to say “we can’t fix this”.
Fuck VW.
GET FUCKED VOLKSWAGEN YOU COCKSUCKERS
I feel like there’s a difference between “this car has a recall notice for this part, bring it to a shop near you for a free repair” and “yo dawg your acceleration pedal is broken”
