Masculinity has become radioactive.
It’s one of the most polarizing forces in modern culture. Families fracture over it, politics feeds on it and entire online ecosystems monetize it. And no one seems to agree on what it is anymore.
Wholeheartedly agree. But toxic masculinity isn’t the only toxicity algorithmically dividing us. To varying degrees, I’m seeing toxic femininity (among women and liberals), toxic Zionism (among the Christian right) and toxic faux libertarianism / anti-tax (among the boomers.) There are probably more that I’m not thinking of.
I’m OK focusing first on the danger toxic masculinity poses. But we would be remiss if we ignored the others.
