Toxic masculinity refers to cultural norms and behaviors traditionally associated with masculinity that can be harmful to both men and society. It involves traits like aggression, dominance, emotional repression, and an aversion to vulnerability.
Men who exhibit toxic male behaviors often emphasize power and control, resist showing emotions (especially sadness or fear), and may belittle or dominate others. These behaviors are seen as a response to societal pressures to conform to an outdated view of what being "manly" means.
It can lead to issues like relationship conflicts, unhealthy competition, and mental health problems. Toxic masculinity is often tied to problems like sexism, homophobia, and violence, as men may try to assert their dominance in unhealthy ways .

Toxic is Toxic regardless bro !

Homophobia was not an issue untill maybe 2000 on ? That the Socialist created a new bastardisation of the word in fact.
They changed the definition of the word in fact.
It's not fear of Gays, the real issue is that their is no Virtue in being Gay in fact. It's not looked up too ! it's looked down upon, the issue it's self is looked down upon. it's not the person themselves. it just should not be promoted ! because it sets a bad example. injures young peoples minds regarding direction in their lives.

Gay people are mixed up ! it's a mental issue in fact, it's sick !

Only Satanist promote sexual depravity. Such is a Sin in fact.

If one is Gay fine ! just do not promote it. other than that one can get along fine with such people. But one has to draw a line somewhere ?
Just as you do with a man, who is perverse with women, immoral lacking in Virtue ! Calling such out ! or is that another Phobia ? Oh Max has an issue with men taking sexual advantage of women ? or with an under age child ! is that just another another Phobia ?

In the world their are Diffrent Cultures ? but if our New Age Political Correct Society demands a One set standard, is not that Racist in fact ! and outright totaly Racial Discrimination in fact.

What is the line regarding Aboriginals before Cook ? their culture was set for thousands of years and fact is the reason why they could survive in fact and it does not matter what any white man thinks in fact, because most would not have a clue, nor truly care less in fact, but will stand up and condemn such in fact. but in a underhanded gutless way, of a boy, not a man but claiming to be a hero just the same ?

If what that is being spread nowadays, was the standard set in the past, we would not exist nowadays in fact, for what is peddled nowadays is full of delusions, used to play the Game and mask the real issues in fact.

In the school yard all such prop up, and the think is that, you need to deal with such ! because that is an education in it's self in fact !
Go work for yourself and find out that it's not all pink tea and fantasy land. you will have to be able to deal with the challanged or go back to a wage Job. in reality It's a Jungle out their ! and you will need to keep your wits about you.

I learn't Judo from the age of 7 it's a fantastic what to learn reality and truly about yourself !
You must learn to defend yourself, because no one will may do it for you !
Judo and Ju Jitsu fosters growth, creativity, potential, and self control to deal with difficulties.

Toxic masculinity is a phrase made up by communist to weaken the male figure in a family and a nation.

Once the male has become emasculated the family falls and the commies take the country.

It’s a fact that in some societies, male dominance is a right and the treatment of women is archaic by today’s standards…but accepted as the norm. Women have no rights or say in much of anything, and that’s the way men like it in those cultures. But what is the Christian view?

Going back to the garden of Eden, it is interesting to note that in passing sentence on the first rebels, God said to the woman…”

“I will greatly multiply
Your pain in childbirth,
In pain you will bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,

And he will rule over you.”
The word “rule” there in Greek is “māšal” and it means to “take charge, or have authority”….

So what was a woman’s place in the big scheme of things, now that everything had changed…..they were evicted from their paradise home to eke out an existence on cursed ground….they had no hope for the future because their disobedience was an outright rebellion, for which they had no reason or excuse. They were unforgivable.…but God made provision for their children, born in sin through no fault on their part.

By identifying himself as male, God used his own position to define the position of a husband in a family relationship. When the humans were first created, God designed their roles to be complementary, not competitive. IOW their roles were supportive of each other, having something of balance to offer in the education of their children.

How did Jesus treat women as opposed to how they were treated in Jewish society? Women were not viewed as equals but nevertheless had an important place in the family. All the faithful women of old were an asset to their families and not treated as chattels. But they respected their husband’s headship……which was not to be exercised as dictatorship. A man was to value his wife as something precious to him, and a wife was to be industrious, not just a housebound servant.

Proverbs 31:10-31 outline some of the things that a “capable wife” was able to do in a Jewish household. A man was indeed blessed to have a capable wife.

Jesus cherished his female disciples and treated them with respect and honored them in ways that may have seemed foreign in Jewish society.
So the “macho man” dominating his wife and forcing submission, is a human invention. It was never God’s intention for the man to dominate his wife as it came to be viewed in Bible times, and in some cultures even today.

Being a God of order, Jehovah puts the man in the drivers seat, and there is only one set of controls, not two. Christians have to know what is expected of them in the roles that God assigned to them….the gender roles today are completely out of place and a cause for disunity and it’s resulting problems….battles of will in so many areas, end in unresolved conflicts and sometimes, bitter divorce. But women who have Christ as their instructor will know their place within the family unit. Men likewise will appreciate the role that they have, and try their best to accommodate the wishes of their wives and family when making decisions, whilst at the same time understanding that his role is not one of power, but of responsibility for all in the family. Maturely talking through the issues together and finding workable solutions is what keeps the peace so sadly lacking in todays relationships.

You can't help yourself Aunty Jane.

Here's the truth @philipcraigt

God showed great mercy upon the first pair!

- The forsaking of their own fig leaf covering - exposing their shame! learning repentance etc
- The learning of sacrifice and the covering of their sin (in type) Leviticus 17 with a skin of an animal "shedding of blood!"
- The teaching of how God deals with sin and A&E teaching of this to their children
- The worship before the Lord by the whole family! (Cain & Abel)
- The Blessing of a son in Seth, Eve's understanding and Gods purpose - she names him "appointed"
- The naming of Eve (purpose) - God blesses Eve and she acknowledges it as a blessing Gen 4:25-26

All of this and more reveals God work with the first pair in dealing with sin!

Education Adam later learn to do with Cain & Abel and then Seth

You will get there one day Aunty!

True, they were very active in the first century church
All the faithful women of old were an asset to their families and not treated as chattels. But they respected their husband’s headship……

Sarah calling Abraham her Lord! (powerful lessons there!)

which was not to be exercised as dictatorship. A man was to value his wife as something precious to him, and a wife was to be industrious, not just a housebound servant.

Proverbs 31:10-31 outline some of the things that a “capable wife” was able to do in a Jewish household. A man was indeed blessed to have a capable wife.

A beautiful Proverb which outlines the character of a virtuous women. (Type of the Bride of Christ)

Being a God of order, Jehovah puts the man in the drivers seat, and there is only one set of controls, not two. Christians have to know what is expected of them in the roles that God assigned to them….the gender roles today are completely out of place and a cause for disunity and it’s resulting problems….battles of will in so many areas, end in unresolved conflicts and sometimes, bitter divorce.

Maturely talking through the issues together and finding workable solutions is what keeps the peace so sadly lacking in todays relationships.

By this Divine law in Genesis 3, wives are required to be in subjection to their husbands, whilst husbands are required to manifest toward their wives the same self-sacrificing love that Christ reveals towards the church (Eph. 5:22-27). The law does not make provision for dictatorial domination, but, on the part of the husband, a manifestation of the qualities of God (1 Cor 11:7) and on the part of the wife that loving and church should exhibit towards Christ. There is nothing difficult in this when the attitude of each towards the other is motivated by mutual affection and understanding, and is dominated by the self-effacing love that Christ reveals towards his "Bride".

As shown Proverbs 31:28-41: "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her: Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth Yahweh, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates"

Adam & Eve would have received further instruction from the Lord as to those principles of being a husband and wife. Their tilling the ground (pysically & spiritually) whould have taught them a great deal about bearing fruits for God though the ground would be unbearable for them to bring forth its fruits. Eve would learn to become a helper rather than grasping for that which is not hers.

What is interesting about the Genesis record is how Eve was a helper to Adam.

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion (ezer, helper) for him who corresponds to him.”
Ge 2:18.

Post sin, this relationship would be lost as the consequence of sin, but not without a future hope of restoration!

"And thy desire shall be to thy husband"

"Desire" in Hebrew is teshuwqah and denotes "a stretching out after", "a longing for". It is from the root shuwq, "to rush after or over", i.e. to over flow as water.

"desire"? The comment in Genesis is that it is "to" her husband, rather than "for" her husband, and this suggests that the "desire" is for a restoration to her former status with her husband before sin entered the world.

She had then enjoyed a unity with Adam as his helper, but that position had been harmed. Her restoration depended upon her attitude and actions in conformity to the marriage covenant, and the divine commandments.

Thankfully after the Covenant made in Genesis 3:15 they would look forward to the time when spiritually, this state of equality between man and woman is restored in Christ (Gal. 3:28), for both have equal privileges and status in him.

When the relationship is out of balance, whether a toxic male, or a contentious wife, the outcome can be disasterous.

This is wrong. There is no such thing as toxic masculinity. Each person is an individual. Each person has their own personality, and each of us is a sinner.

Agree. With adding…there ARE plenty of Females fast tracking on a Toxic path…and demanding “their” contribution to society be as normalized and accepted as the same as Toxic mens …. Per some long standing world cultures, beliefs and societies have accepted as normal.

When TOXIC behaviors ARE Normalized…men, women, children, governing authorities are all subject to the Infection and the roaming demons celebrate the disease they have inspired and instigated.

Glory to God,
Taken

We are created in the Imago Dei of Elohim, yet there is a subtle but steady infiltration of toxicity and leaven creeping in, gradually and inexorably.

Interesting first post. I would argue there's no such thing as toxic masculinity. There's only good behavior and bad behavior.

No such thing as "toxic masculinity" - it's a false concept invented/promoted by candypants effeminate men frightened by the courage, resolve, independence, fortitude and self-reliance of masculine men - and by misandrist daughters of Satan who despise their God-given duty to obtain and submit to a husband.

In a time when Christianity has shifted the focus from victory over sin through Christ to the weakness of man apart from Christ so that the "men" among us who whine about how "we can't keep the law" might obtain false salvational security, what we need is masculine men who will bravely stand for the commandments of God and traditional family values, as well as stand against the polluting of the churches with satanic leftist ideological nonsense.
