Men being shitty isn’t an inherent trait of Masculinity.

You would never tell your lesbian coworker that Women being bitchy is an inherent trait of Femininity.

I'd say lots of people are shitty for a variety of reason and the reason relevant to this discussion is a twisted understanding of what It means to be a man due to lack of willingness to listen to a broader opinion than the ones shared by other men. I wouldn't say that to my coworker cause I don't understand what it's like to be a woman. but I know what it's like to have to much testosterone and be angry all the time. I know what it's like to be told by my father that if I was gay It would be the most disappointing thing I could do to him. I know what it's like to have people feel comfortable shit talking women gays and minorities to me cause I'm a man. don't tell me what toxic masculinity is and isn't I've lived it.

literally not what they said. no wonder reddit men feel so oppressed, they twist everything into an insult against men in general.
