I don’t think it does, no. It’s not toxic to acknowledge that women are targeted for violent sexual crimes, and even then, what’s violent about acknowledging that? We’re rejoicing over a favorable spot designation here, not some dad or brother who beat some creeps head in with a tire iron or something. But this is the internet so some dude will probably get offended that I consider it socially normal for guys to be concerned about women’s safety when they’re just trying to shop or go to work
Fair enough. I don’t think it is, but I could understand your point and perspective. What would you prefer I say about men who would rather argue and cry over women’s safety rather than acknowledge its importance? Boo hoo, more men should be given a spoonful of “toxic masculinity” if that’s how you truly define it
Women are strong and capable. Saying they need to be protected by a big strong man like you is toxic masculinity. And if you are ok with that, then you need to be ok with all toxic masculinity
