  8. "Toxic masculinity" is a very unfortunate concept. I realised that years ago when I first heard it. From a radical feminist perspective, both masculinity and femininity are toxic. They are the two stereotypical roles in creating and upholding the power difference between men and women, the male supremacy. Men are living with the expectations to be dominant and women to be dominated. Women and men has to be socially created unequal. In order for that to work we have to see women and men as two totally different groups of people. For opression to seem acceptable there has to be a belief that there are groups that differ from each other. That's the one single condition needed for inequality, oppression to be accepted. Just as "race" was created for white people to be able to colonise others, "gender" was created to support male supremacy. This is the basic analyses of gender abolitionists. BUT that doesn't exclude the possibility for some differences between women and men. It just opposes the cultural compulsion to recreate the illusion of women and men being totally different. (Before Beckham suddenly putting his hair together up high at the back of the head, only women could do that. Men with long hair new that they had to gather the hair as low as possible in order to not be perceived as feminine.) And no man can actually know what it is to work with only women or even be in a room with only women in it, since it stops being only women when he enters. And I would argue that it is a myth that women only groups doesn’t work. We see and notice what we expect. And when men gossip and have horrible fights, we call it other things.
