    they are allowed to express their femininity and I’m not.

    A man expressing masculinity? “That’s violently toxic!”

    A man expressing femininity? “That’s disgustingly pathetic!”

    Now that I’ve matured I hate the system that keeps me oppressed

    Except… who reinforces those oppressive rules?

    It ain’t men, that’s for sure. We just passively submit and nod our heads yes to whatever women say, least we are painted with the same brush by association, and be labelled misogynistic or “not a man” for disagreeing.

      Okay, I have to imagine you’re here in bad faith because anyone who understands toxic masculinity would not phrase it this way.

      I was referring to the capitalist class that keeps people divided while they enrich themselves. Also it was primarily men who stopped me from expressing any sort of femininity while women passively agreed.
