Yes, it is.
When I see the term used, it's by non-academics.
Popular usage is broader than the above definition.
It's an observable pattern of behavior linked to gender, particularly during divorce.
That restrictive definition reminds me of the people who redefine racism to be something black people don't do, so therefore no black people are racist.
"People being crappy" that results in ruined lives and reputations, and something that should be legally punishable. But it's not, because women.
Unlike testosterone and aggression, mostly indirectly, by in tandem with female structural traits creating a weaker body. So, one more likely to use indirect tactics; one more likely to be manipulative. The dark side of higher empathy probably also plays a role; the average woman can "read" people better than the average man, which can be used to manipulate as much as it can be used to nurture or identify threats.

Is that a response to me, or to Sartre? I didn't see him make a claim that bad behavior is hormone-related on either end. I was saying that there's scientific evidence to support the idea that it is on both, albeit more indirectly on the female end.
It's indirect, yeah. Estrogen just fosters a weaker body, less muscle mass and more fat specifically. Heightened functional empathy also plays a major role in ability to manipulate though (not necessarily or even likely urge to), and that has a direct relationship to estrogen.
Absolutely. But the vast majority of males aren't serial killers, either, and those are overwhelmingly male. It seems likely to me that each is related to both the prescribed roles of each in society (conqueror and mother respectively), and what we can observe of brain chemistry's impacts on behavior.
It needn't be due solely to socialization.
I've seen it elsewhere.
I don't.Do you also think estrogen may make people deceitful?
Welcome to RF.
Those two situations aren't comparable at all, honestly. Trump was bragging about grabbing random women by the genitals at parties. Clerici seems to just be saying she has a high sex drive. A little bit of a crude thing for a public figure to say, but there's nothing at all rapey about her comment, which was the main issue with Trump's.
Sure you are. You're passively dismissing it as "oh, some people just being crappy." A rude customer is just being crappy. Someone with a bad attitude ranting about Obama is just being crappy. These women are lying and accusing those who turn out to be completely innocent of a violent, invasive, damaging action, and even when they're found to be completely innocent their lives are already in absolute shambles from which very few ever recover.
Only there is, because as a society we've somehow arrived at the gender-based assumption that women are always the victim, and their word is golden as evidence. Society will White Knight leap to the aid of any woman who cries rape or sexual harassment, damn those who disbelieve their claim, and on the same hand mock and dismiss the men who report the same crime to their person. In a nutshell: toxic femininity.
Well thank goodness for that!
Yep, about the same as women screaming about "the patriarchy" and wearing shirts like this one. If women don't want people to think they're sexist, a good start would be not blaming men for issues with every-damn-thing they either can't control or can think of.
He said he grabbed their crotches out of the blue, and they just let him do it. That's claiming they didn't act to stop him, while the rapey behavior is going on.
And such reasons and studies have been "satisfactorily" provided for "toxic masculinity"? It seems along the same bulls*** vein as "mansplaining"; a quick argument-winner for ultra-feminists to shut down any and all male part to discussion and being. If there can be some vague nebulous of things like "machismo" being labelled as "toxic masculinity", then it absolutely follows that equally vague things like social veracity or perpetual victimism can be "toxic femininity".
But a man's toxic behavior is so clearly toxic masculinity. Right, because that makes total sense.
Think as you may, but I'm not. The amount of men who are so very nearly convicted of rape even when their innocent, and their subsequent social hell even after being exonerated, shows quite plainly that society by large believe women's testimony before evidence is presented. To not do so is... well, it's just monstrous. How dare we question the rape, how dare we victim-blame... On the other hand, were a man to say that he was raped the situation is ridicule; such nonsense as "it's not rape if you want it, and he had an erection!" Hell, rape is even joked about when it comes to men. So sorry, but the "cosby apologia" in this thread doesn't excuse that women quite literally get away with false accusations of rape.
That the #metoo campaign even exists (and that a lot of men, yours truly included) were ridiculed over taking part in it, is evidence that it's not. Not entirely at least.
"Coming up with..." Sounds like toxic femininity to me (specifically the bit about being perpetually victims and shifting blame and ire onto men). How dare women recognize their own faults, flaws, and - dare I say it - states of social privilege (as with all things, within certain spheres) compared to their male counterparts. How dare they shoulder partial blame for how utterly f***ed our society is right now. Clearly it's just some male "obsession".
Ah yes, of course, it's always to do with masculinity. Feminism's obsession with masculinity is what truly astounds me. If it is a woman perpetuating ridicule relative to their damn near "sacred state" of victimhood, then you bet you *** that's toxic femininity. Trying to apply any sort of masculine veneer on it is just deflecting the issue to male responsibility, as though somehow it's our issue to deal with.
You're equating my "behavior". Arguments are not behavior, sarte, much as you might want them to be. You don't know me well enough at all to speak for my behavior in any scope. But great attempt at deflecting the issue of women having this entire culture of "men are all our problems" as exemplified by the linked product.
Sounds like a nasty case of toxic femininity to me. I'm sure it fits with one of the indicators, but I'd just as soon label it as "can't take what's dished out".
