Why does there seem to be a stigma attached to advocate for Men's Rights?

I just clocked that you said "femininity" in that post. Was obviously not serious. Anyone who thinks either gender has some kind of inherent "toxic" trait are quite prejudice.

Who said inherent? Toxic masculinity is the product of societal reinforcement of negative traits that females couldn't get away with. Like I said: which YouTube video did you hear about toxic masculinity from? Because it really sounds like you don't know about the basics of the concept and getting your politics from reactionary videos will do that.

I already cleared it up for you mate. It's literally an abstract concept but it's also pretty straightforward.
