Toxic Femininity

Article here. Excerpt:

'Toxic femininity refers to female behaviours that manipulate, control, or harm others while hiding behind cultural norms of softness, vulnerability, or moral superiority. Where toxic masculinity might enforce dominance through aggression or stoicism, toxic femininity tends to weaponise emotion, victimhood, and social influence. It’s often linked to covert forms of narcissism—harder to spot, but just as destructive as the (mostly male) overt form.

This is not about blaming women—it’s about asking why society is afraid to confront negative behaviour when it’s cloaked in femininity.'
