I can't help but notice that you're bringing up the "masculinity is toxic" idea, albeit not in such an overt fashion. Masculinity isn't by its very nature "toxic", "bad", "dangerous", or whatever other buzzword you're looking to use. Femininity, in too great amounts (which I assume is going to be your argument against masculinity) can be just as bad or damaging. The eradication of masculinity won't be a magical cure for issues that men face, it's like saying if women stopped acting like women maybe they wouldn't be raped. And the "idea" of masculinity implies male behavior is artificial as well, which would be spitting in the face of biology and the difference that exist in nature as a sexually dimorphic species.

I wasn't looking for a buzzword. None of this argument has anything to do with what I was implying, you just leaped lazily for a stereotype. This is like if I said "Sometimes, if stored incorrectly, pancake mixes will mold." and you replied with "What are you saying, that we should never ever eat pancakes ever again?"

Masculinity isn't inherently bad, it's just a thing. There isn't anything wrong with a bunch of dudes drinking beer and lifting weights, for instance. However, like everything else, it can come packaged with some negative things. When I say that masculinity is part of the problem when it comes to men's issues, I mean that it does things like complicates the problem of male rape by making it unacceptable within male culture to attend to it. Like any other cultural idea, masculinity is malleable, so all I am saying is that until men themselves are willing to take these issues seriously, men's rights will remain the purview of whiny do-nothings on the internet.
