I'm glad you mentioned Peterson. I once saw him say that women put people into one of 3 categories: 1. Infant 2. Caregiver(s) of Infants 3. Threat. This blew my mind because I see it everywhere. The infant doesn't necessarily have to be an actual infant but any person or group of people perceived as weak or at a disadvantage like maybe seniors or minority groups. The latest of which is the LGBTQs. The women that do this stuff have placed themselves in the role of caregiver of infant and this gives them an ego boost, power, and a way to virtue signal. They also use this to control the behaviors of others especially men, who, if they don't go along with the caregiver of infants rules are run off and accused of being a threat. Far too many men cave in to this an end up acting like the white knight when really they have just become a trained dog of the caregiver of infants. And if a man rejects this position the woman quickly turns herself into the infant/victim and calls in higher authorities to act as caregiver of infant and take that man away or run him off. And the really wild part about this is that if you explicitly told and expected these women to be the caregivers of infants, they would rebel and condemn the audacity of trying to "force her" into some "traditional patriarchal gender role". But when you just watch what they do, they appear to desperately want to be the caregivers of infants. And one more tool that a lot of women use is plausible deniability to avoid accountability. But I've said enough. Thanks for this video. It's about time women started speaking out and calling out the toxic behaviors of other women because they are not going to listen to a man discuss any of this. He instantly becomes the threat. They tried this with Jordan Peterson. He survived it but what chance does the average man have at standing up to the woke mob?

Thank you for this comment. You hit the nail on the head. There are so many contradictions in modern feminism, it makes me want to pull my hair out. Women have been told we can have it all, but we can't. We don't have unlimited time and so therefore, sacrifices must be made. Jordan Peterson talks a lot about making the right kind of sacrifices. If women want a lucrative career, they must sacrifice spending time taking care of children, but that urge to nurture becomes sublimated and can turn into abuse towards men and other women. I think it's time for women to wake up and realize that regret is one hell of a deterrent.

I'm glad that this was in my recommends and I subscribed. Yours is the first treatment of Toxic Femininity that I have seen that did not try to present it as just a byproduct of Toxic Masculinity but rather discussed it as something that is capable of existing on it's own, entirely separate from Toxic Masculinity. Over the years, I have frequently seen women behave horribly to other women, as have nearly all men who are paying attention. These women are typically awful to men as well, but they use an entirely separate 'toolkit' for that. Women's toxic behavior towards other women looks very different from their toxic behavior towards men. Where Feminism comes into the mix, the issue is that we are told that it is for all women yet I have seen women be treated badly within Feminist circles simply because of a difference of opinion on certain issues, as if a woman no longer qualifies as a woman simply for thinking differently. The first time that I saw this was when I was in college. I knew one couple who were devout Christians and were planning to get married right after graduation. One semester, she decided to enroll in a Women's Studies 101 class to fulfill either a Social Sciences or Humanities elective that she needed. She said at the time that she thought that would be an interesting way to fulfill that elective requirement, sitting in a room with other women discussing the history of women and that she was looking forward to it. Fast forward a few months to the end of that semester. He and I are sitting together laughing as she described in graphic detail just how thrilled she was to be finished with that class and how horrible it was! She said that, as a woman who was heterosexual, Christian, politically moderate on most issues and planning to get married after college that she was frequently singled out and treated with hostility by the other students in the class and on a couple of occasions even by the professor! He and I raised our fists in the air and said, "Solidarity sister!" That didn't go over well...

Feminists say they care about women's issues and then turn around and torment women who don't think like they do. In academia, the minds of young women are turned against men and pumped full of lies. I appreciate your comment, and it's disappointing to hear what happened to your friend in that women's studies class. I hope the lies of feminism become exposed and that women will one day wake up.

15:11 "... the ideology of feminism prevailed which told women and girls that in order to be equal women needed to start having sex like men treating it like any other social interaction. Since that time sexual expectations have changed under the pretense that there are no longer consequences of having sex even though in reality that's not true. In today's society, a lot of young girls and women think their virginity is a burden that they must get rid of because they want to fit in with their peers. The problem is that sex is now cheap and easy to get and the group that suffers from this state of affairs is women." Actually, the bigger loser is the men who never recieved that sex anyway, but decided to "play by the rules". Societal ridicule for them and their situation is off the charts. Sex is not "cheap and easy to get" for all men ... this is a major "red pill" point. 15:54 "... women have lost their only real power in the world." The fact that you quoted it as a "power" speaks to this loss by those men. It's one of the consequences of having that sex that isn't being mentioned.

@erinruhl5377 A lot of modern feminist thinking is to erase the pain of any loss for that woman - basically, to redefine "loss" to "gain". And that's a lot of what your video goes over, when you say her friends are talking her into getting rid of her virginity and/or sleep around. My argument is not about the man in your scenario, it's about another man *following* that scenario - the one who dates her next or who dates her when she decides to "settle down", while he was either struggling to date at all and was being "good" in not pressing for sex. It's about the presumption that men *always* press for sex, and the modern feminist thinking that builds from that assumption. That's the toxicity I'm pointing out, and who else (the next man) is losing there.

I found that I enjoyed falling into more traditional gender rolls, wanted a family and to prioritize raising my children well more than a career.

In regards to toxic masculinity.. there is a difference between suppression emotions and having self control. Self control enables you to behave in a civil society. Caving to every emotion leaves you feral and doing bad things to yourself and others. This is especially important for men because of their physical size and ability. There are many things that were engraved into and pass down from generation to generation that were part of society because it enabled a mostly successful society. Yes, it wasn't perfect, but it generally worked. When the 60s came and everything switched from generational based knowledge to scientific knowledge in the general society, we lost all of that. It has taken 2 generations for science to start to prove that some of what was done in the past was actually good for society. It took thousands of years for society to learn this before. All thrown away only to be rediscovered again.

Good, well thought out and presented video tackling a problem in a society that has skewed values and a broken moral compass. I like that you avoided the blame game to a degree and kept to the facts where important. The MGTOW movement has come as a response to toxic femininity and we see ourselves in a battle that neither side wanted. The feminist movement has been distorted over time to mean something completely different to that its founders created it for. Equality has become a buzzword for corporations and those wanting to change a society that worked into one that solely focuses on profit and big business. It is no coincidence that corporations have diluted the workforce by creating "opportunities" ( for want of a better word ) that attract women into the workplace to fulfil their subliminal messaging that women need more power than they had before the sexual revolution. Wages have been depressed to a point that most live hand to mouth because there isn't enough workplaces to go around to satisfy the needs of men let alone women. Traditional roles in the workplace can now be filled by any gender and making equality laws has even made it that business can now pick and choose and use the excuse of quotas to get away with it.

In answer to your question, yes men would be paid more in a society that recognised that each gender were built for a specific purpose.

They had to be stronger to protect their family from dangerous animals and hunt to provide for their mate and children. You cannot play with that paradigm and hope there to be no consequence. Men are walking away for different reasons but I think the main one is that their is no more necessity to provide and protect yet women still expect it because it is a woman's DNA. And fair enough. She provides a service to him in sex and offspring and making a home ( his legacy if you like ) and he reciprocates the only way he knows how and is expected to do so by his very genetics.

I mostly believe with what you say, could tell from how you present yourself that I would...I believe the words beings pushed to us now which are the terms toxic-masculinity and toxic-femininity are being pushed to destroy the fabric of our society. It is also quite obvious in the sense that real masculinity is not dangerous nor is real femininity harmful. An example would be that real masculinity is a strong feeling of protection for the biological weaker people of society, in that sense a "real man" and a figure of what actual masculinity is would never place his hands on a woman nor a child. We see this in most of the great philosophers and warriors in our human history, many of them extremely violent but also just. These words are so engraved and pushed now in our society to make us not focus on the beautiful and useful aspects that both masculinity and feminity bring to the table in a functioning society. The real problem is men who can't control their emotions (hence not "toxic-masculine" individuals)...teach a society to function according to that and see where it gets you; they're the ones who attack women and schools when they're sad or angry since they have been programed to never take control of their emotions. I truly feel bad for women this age, sexual roles push each other and balance each other out. An extremely masculine person will be with an extremely feminine person and the opposite is also true, a society full of feminine males will push women to become more masculine, not more feminine. Good video and subject, please help the young girls out there to understand the importance and beauty of true femininity 👍

The reality of the matter is men and women are not much different from each other. Should those biological and slight psychological differences be ignored? Of course not but I'm under the believe that convincing the general public the we should/are completely different from eachother will only further divide us. I believe there should be women who are aggressive, strong, and logical. As well as men who are compassionate, sensitive, and emotional. Their are traits that are better then others of course, but I believe the time has come for society to encourage growth as individuals.

This very ideology is a big contributor to the division. You don't think there are any implications to your behavior and psychology whether you have sperm or eggs? Eggs are scarce, pregnancy and lactation require obscene amount of investment. Sperm is abundant and require no investment, just a bit of fun time. So the female obviously has to be the sexual selector. That means there has to be some standards by which to measure men who are worthy to have sex with. She will want to save those scarce eggs ideally for good genes and someone who can provide the necessary resources and protection because she is infinitely more invested in the children. Those traits of compassion, sensitivity and emotional are not really conductive to that, they are either negative or neutral. At best they are good for making the man more willing to commit but they don't change the value of that commitment essentially being zero unless there are also the masculine traits that are actually valuable. Telling people we are the same seems to encourage them to cultivate traits in themselves that they would value in opposite sex, but it doesn't actually change the realities for the other sex and they will become very bitter and disappointed in the other sex. So do those things "you should do" (according to whom and why, why is this ideology even good?) at your own peril.

We're not talking about attraction here, that's a whole other ballpark. We're talking about the societal differences between masculinity and femininity, and why I think they are harmful for everybody. Masculinity and femininity do not exist in biological behavior for the most part, it is mostly societal standards we made up over 100's of years. Has it been working? Yeah sure at first when we were in the stone age. In recent centuries its only been causing a great divide between us, and even sexual confusion.

Growing up as a kid in the 1970s I used to consider feminism a good thing because the world was unbalanced and unfair. Once in the workplace I (working in offices where I was often the only man, or one of 2 men, in communications ) saw at first hand how the women I worked with genuinely felt that women were better than men. In other words, feminism was not about equal, it was about superiority. I disagree with female superiority same why I disagreed with male superiority in the 1970s, simply because I still bel that men and women are equal. Neither is superior and the world needs both in equal measure.

They do this because women in other countries aren't nearly as judgmental about men and are more likely to be happy with a man the way he is, unlike American women and their impossible criteria. This is an example of how a feminine trait like hypergamy in the right context can be toxic: it results in women never finding a husband at all because they're far too picky and women are too promiscuous gossip social exclusion and slander do so much harm to women, and it causes the kind of wounds that leave no bruises or scars, And the problem with that kind of abuse is that you don't have any physical proof of its existence." Yes - however, I have a few friends (years/decades ago) who met their wives in the Far East and Eastern Europe. In both cases, they wound up coming back to the States and ultimately getting divorced, which makes one wonder if those women weren't being hypergamous by using him as a ticket to a green card/citizenship. I knew of another woman (also from Eastern Europe) who came over as an "exchange student" ... long enough to attract and marry a man ... all while she confessed to me that she had a child back in Eastern Europe. It's anecdotal, but it's to say that you cannot guarantee that a man cannot guarantee that a non-western women isn't also hypergamous ... just not with the same types of things.

Exactly. I'm all for a woman speaking on these matters but it should be directed towards women. This is just an echo chamber of guys agreeing. The real change comes when the rest of the women listen.

I'm super confused by this. A lot of what's being discussed here is bullying between women because of women competing for male attention. But the only time I've ever seen women bully each other, is 1) non-hetero women calling hetero women pick-mes for liking a guy, or 2) lesbians bullying bisexual women for their attraction to men. I have seen the devouring other issue though. I usually either see this more with single mothers raising sons, or women in relationships with men, where the man is more like a child being led by the mother, creating a situation where she seems like a single mother, which then affects the children.

I appreciate hearing this. Toxic masculinity is real but the typical definition of toxic femininity always bothered me. It says that toxic men are always aggressive (which I can’t argue against) and toxic women are always submissive victims. There is also truth to that. I think there two types of toxic femininity: passive or aggressive. The passive type encourages women to be victims and the aggressive type makes them socially vicious. They are conditioned to be either victims or victimizers. Men are only allowed to be victimizers. There doesn’t seem to be a healthy middle ground.

There’s a video from Layton Observer discussing toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity that doesn’t have to be aggressive. It can be manipulative, forceful etc without the physical aspect

Traditional masculine traits made our world. Rebranding it as 'toxic' is just the feminist's way of attacking the traditional roles played by men. There is nothing toxic about it other than the fact that it opposes the doctrines of feminism. As a boy who grew up into a man with clear expectations of what a man is or does, I don't see anything toxic about it. Is it the stress associated with meeting the expectations? I dealt with it naturally. What are the feminists actually concerned with? I have seen attempts by feminists to conflate masculinity with bullying and call bullying toxic masculinity. Bullying has nothing to do with masculinity. There are just as many female bullies as male bullies. Even women who combat femininity often talk about toxic masculinity as the root cause of toxic femininity. This is not true.

Halfway through, i have heard enough and given up waiting for your opinion on this topic. I'm very disappointed. I was expecting to hear your thoughts on it - not a lecturing diatribe from an article full of the same traditional rubbish i hear from toxic masculine men. As a shy and sensitive guy i'm attracted to more confident career women and so i see the potential of calling certain feminine traits as toxic femininity. Nice to know i can add this terminology to my arguments when i am constantly told *I* should be the one to approach, lead, etc.

Why would anyone expect an adult human being to be submissive. Is it a fetish? An adult isn't a child that needs to be guided. Another thing, people are basically a spectrum of different traits. A woman who stands her ground isn't masculine, she's just assertive. A man who shows emotions isn't feminine, he's a human being. Why there's the need to create the boxes and force people into it? I agree that some feminists go too far when they oppose some the stereotypical feminine traits as the idea should be that women.have.the.right.to.choose. If a woman wants to be submissive, it's up to her. I'd find it odd, but again, it's her choice. I'd never agree to call submissiveness as strength, though. It is litteraly the synonym of passiveness. It leaves too much room for others to push you around. I used to be a shy and passive person and I advise anybody to get rid of that trait as fast as possible, period.

Because in relationships between men and women, that's what works. Of course women have a choice to be submissive or dominant, but a woman who submits to the leadership of her man wields more power that way, and the relationship operates more efficiently. A marriage isn't supposed to be about just one person and their rights to autonomy. It's supposed to be conducive for raising children. When a woman makes that sacrifice of dominance in order to maintain her marriage, she's choosing to be selfless for the sake of her kids. Once a woman is married and has children, it's no longer about her independence and her ego, it's about making the marriage functional so it runs smoothly because that's what is good for her children. It has nothing to do with sex.

@@erinruhl5377 I was a child in a houshold like this and it has a good side to it, indeed. I learned, thanks to it, what kind of wife I don't want to be and what kind of husband I'll never tolerate. As a child I never liked the dynamic they had, neither my siblings. We learned that submission equals power that can be misused. We grew frustrated with it. People are too imperfect to hold power like that over another adult human being and based on that, I disagree with you.

@@erinruhl5377 Sure and that is perfectly fine that they want it. However, not every one of them wants to find herself in a situation that requires her to put on a cosplay of a submissive wife. Humans are not as simple as men = dominant, women = passive. Sometimes that would go against their nature. At least some children will pick up on their parent's internal struggle and they won't be happy about it, I assure you. I wasn't. A dominant husband and a submissive wife dynamic leads to the boost of man's ego while it crumples female's ego. Accepting it is what women did for millenia agreeing to their subjugation. Life isn't a Hollywood movie, which means that men aren't perfect human beings that always make proper decisions or treat you right. Women, as adult human beings, are good enough to have a voice of their own. Therefore, submission is out of the window.

@@Ehrill942 I see where you're coming from because I used to think like you. I thought traditional gender roles were oppressive, but now that I have more experience, I see how practical they are. My point is that it's not about the woman as an individual. It's about working together. If a woman is married to an abusive tyrant, then I agree she should get out of that situation.
