Toxic masculinity and femininity[edit]

This wiki article describes toxic masculinity, but toxic behavior is not exclusive to masculinity. There should also be an article about toxic femininity since there are enough sources available. Such as some contestants of the TV show Love Island were described as behaving with toxic femininity (Wales Online, 26 February 2023). -Artanisen (talk) 08:35, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That article cites the deprecated WP:DAILYMAIL, listing precisely one anonymous social media user who used the phrase "toxic femininity". Hardly the kind of in-depth coverage required for an encyclopedia article. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a section found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internalized_sexism#Toxic_femininity discussing the topic. It's a short section so it would need some elaboration to justify its own article. So be bold, gather the sources and write up a draft.--AndersThorseth (talk) 08:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Toxic feminism"[edit]

Hello, just noticed there is no article to state the Toxic Feminism, I see. § — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phuderoso (talk • contribs) 11:15, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck is that? I have never heard of it. Dimadick (talk) 23:44, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you mean "toxic femininity"? In any case, WP:FALSEBALANCE may be a useful read. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want an image that I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons to be added to this page. Here is the image. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MasterDeanKellyToxicMasculinity.jpg This image portrays a toxic masculine man that would be a good example and provide an idea of what one would look like to the read of this article.
