Exposing the agenda behind toxic masculinity – Part 2

Article here. Excerpt:

'Those of us who were around in the 1940s and 50s, remember a wife having dinner ready when her husband returned home from work. One television program was even named, “Father Knows Best.” Back then, men were revered, respected and honored for being the breadwinner and the leader of the family.

But that dramatically changed once feminism emerged. The moment that women felt empowered, men began to take a back seat, often being relegated to equal or lesser on the family chain. One could just as easily make the case that feminism became toxic by seeking to devalue men in a way that made them feel irrelevant and unnecessary.

Today, many women believe they are much better off without men in their lives. One article, as early as 2009, entitled, “Would a world without men really be so bad?” illustrates that very point, as it refers to men as “the master race for all our recorded history.” The writer uses the worst examples of men to blame for war and just about every other ill. Ironically, though, in the end, she says they must stay, convinced that they’re worth keeping in the event of a catastrophe.

Her fantasy narrative serves to expose her utter contempt for men and can only be looked upon as a spoof, since it provides no balance whatsoever. Women who hold such low opinions of men don’t generally exude happiness or fulfillment but are, instead, often angry and disgruntled. This is why it’s worthwhile asking whether women have really made gains.

While most women may look upon men with such resentment, the feminist movement, for whatever positive changes it advanced, has also done a lot to injure the standing of men while propping up women as their better. Their error was to focus on the toxicity of men rather than the toxicity of all humans, because women are certainly not exempt from many of the same behaviors which are blamed solely on men.'
