New research has shown that 12 million people in Britain do not believe that toxic masculinity exists, despite the overwhelming evidence to suggest otherwise.
Toxic masculinity has been linked to mental health problems, physical health problems, a lack of sleep, violence and has even led to men putting themselves and others at risk during the coronavirus pandemic.

The limitations imposed by toxic masculinity are seen in countless online posts as men question whether they’re allowed to appreciate sunsets, fruity cocktails, comfortable chairs, recycling, or even wash their own genitals.
But research by online learning platform FutureLearn and the University of Glasgow found that 12 million Brits refuse to believe that toxic masculinity is a problem in today’s society, and that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of under 35s don’t believe that toxic masculinity has ever existed.
The survey used YouGov data from this year, with a sample size of 2,080 that was weighted to be representative of the UK’s adult population.

The study also showed that almost one in five men “don’t believe gender inequality is a reality that exists in society”.
While 37 per cent of men and 52 per cent of women surveyed did admit that toxic masculinity exists, 8.9 million Brits admitted a lack knowledge about toxic masculinity, and 7.8 million lacked knowledge on LGBT+ rights.
When those who believed in its existence were asked about the causes of toxic masculinity, the two most common answers were “a stereotypical image of what it means to be masculine” and “an environment that allows for misogyny”.

Dr Tanya Cheadle, a lecturer in gender history at the University of Glasgow, said: “It’s fascinating that 38 per cent of those surveyed highlighted masculine stereotypes to be a cause of ‘toxic masculinity’.
“History shows us that comparable ideas around masculinity and ‘manliness’ have existed throughout the past and have often had a close relationship with perpetuating inequalities – of gender, but also of sex, race and class.”

“Gender and sexual inequality is a central issue in today’s global culture wars – from the Weinstein scandal and #MeToo, to reproductive justice and trans rights,” she added.
To remedy the severe lack of knowledge, FutureLearn and the University of Glasgow have launched a free online course titled “A Global History of Sex and Gender” to educate people on gender history, equality and stereotypes.
Cheadle said: “This course provides the vital historical perspective necessary to enact meaningful social change.
“Reaching a wide audience through this accessible online platform allows us a real opportunity to inform and progress the conversation, sharing with a broad, international audience the very latest research on the rich and sometimes surprising history of past attitudes and activism on sex and gender.”

Toxic femininity when?

When the troons take over in the next 5-10 years. Watch all these feminist and gender studies women turn TERF when they have to deal with them going into their safe spaces (aka, the women's toilet).

I say, good.

Sadly, as Bowden said even back in the 70's; men of Britian are all too happy to fight with their hands, scrap, fuck and get dirty. But we've lost our way in our souls, heads and hearts. Lashing out pointlessly without reason is what the British working class are good at; while the upper class are still capable of discussing things they've been so emasculated and cornered that they can't articulate anything beyond rank surrender.

For Britain to be great again the disconnect between the thug and the poet has to be mended; and our men have to step away from the pointless thuggery and learn some discipline from the bottom, while at the top they need to grow some balls.

There's a weird assumption that British middle class and upper class men agree with what's happened to our nation. By and large they don't; it would be easier if they did. Instead the issue is that the middle and upper class men are raised to be; and remain cowards. They dislike what is going on, but they are raised too poorly; either by low quality men or by mothers simply trying to be good to their children that the result is men who behave like girls (not even women, at least women can be counted to argue with you) and refuse to say or do anything.

If they dislike it so much, then they should do something about it. But they won't cause they are still trapped in liberalism that has been thought to them that violence is bad, voting will fix things, etc. I could go on. Liberalism will not save the UK.

Normally I would agree with you; but honestly I'm more disgusted by the idea of it. I have nieces, and sisters and a mother. I'd really rather not have trannies near them if I'm honest.

I'll take TERF's over trannies every day.

All the shit we are dealing with is cause of feminism. Don't believe me?

Queer theory is a field of critical theory that emerged in the early 1990s out of the fields of queer studies and women's studies.

What is Women Studies?

Women's studies is an academic field that draws on feminist and interdisciplinary methods in order to place women’s lives and experiences at the center of study, while examining social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and the relationships between power and gender as they intersect with other identities and social locations such as race, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and disability.[1]

Popular concepts that are related to the field of women's studies include feminist theory, standpoint theory, intersectionality, multiculturalism, transnational feminism, social justice, affect studies, agency, bio-politics, materialism's, and embodiment.[2] Research practices and methodologies associated with women's studies include ethnography, autoethnography, focus groups, surveys, community-based research, discourse analysis, and reading practices associated with critical theory, post-structuralism, and queer theory.[3] The field researches and critiques different societal norms of gender, race, class, sexuality, and other social inequalities.

Women's studies is related to the fields of gender studies, feminist studies, and sexuality studies, and more broadly related to the fields of cultural studies, ethnic studies, and African-American studies.[4]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Feminism believes the same thing Critical Race Theory goes on about.

Whiteness and White people is whats the cause of all bad things.

Patriarchy and Men is whats the cause of all bad things.

Its the same exact thing.

Let women and feminists face the consequences of their actions for fucks sake.

All this shit is cause of Feminism. All of it.

 

[usernames can change now!]

Nobody who uses the term "toxic masculinity" is worth interacting with. Cut them out of your life.

 

[Pixy]

I don't understand what you mean by "good masculinity".

It's the terminology they use (alongside 'positive masculinity') for expressions of masculinity they deem acceptable. Rarely is such a matter broached in their diatribes against 'toxic masculinity', however.

I suppose that accepting cuckoldry would be seen as good masculinity by the left.

I once read this article by a black man where he pontificated about how he needed to fight the patriarchy by not being jealous of his wife fucking around on him cause she wanted an Open Marriage. So yeah, thats what I suppose would be seen as Good masculinity.

Why oh why is feminism allowed to tell men how to sit, what to eat and how to think and what to do with their bodies but men can't do the same for women?

Masculinity is super sexy. More guys should try it.

Nobody asked bitch, but alright.

Those dumb cunts at U of Glasglow don't even bother to write a paper; this is the closest to the original source I can find. Looks like just a pretext to launch a new course.

I didn't know there were that many Muslims in Britain already

A more accurate title would be:

12 Brits believe toxic masculinity exists​

 

[TFT-A9]

12 million Brits are smarter than I thought they were

 

[hasbinot]

"overwhelming evidence" and then they just link to those gay articles on Pinknews

Unironically insanely feminine mindset.
"Toxic men exist gurl. Look at all these women who said so!"

Like they're in some sort of internet bitch circle. But gayer.

 

[Irrelevant]

The headline is obvious fake news. Someone did a poll of all ~65 million people in the UK?

Obviously not and it says so in the article:

The survey used YouGov data from this year, with a sample size of 2,080 that was weighted to be representative of the UK’s adult population.

So all this "study" did was extrapolate a regular YouGov poll. Why is five minutes work on someone else's data being reported on like it's a major study?

To remedy the severe lack of knowledge, FutureLearn and the University of Glasgow have launched a free online course titled “A Global History of Sex and Gender” to educate people on gender history, equality and stereotypes.

Oh right, it's an advertisement.

Hard to believe there are even more than 12 million bongs in Britain.

 

[kcbbq]

I doubt many, if any at all, are in London.

 

[TFT-A9]

I doubt many, if any at all, are in London.

I don't think there are any Brits left in London, period

It's a 'minority' majority city now. The cockney have been ethnically replaced entirely.
