@HPluckrose By the same token, though, referring to doing so as "toxic masculinity" is the converse error.

I'm not sure. I think toxic masculinity>being XY as Islamofascism>being Muslim.

Not sure I understand - that's a bit too compressed! U mean u object 2 talk of tox. m. less than of Islamofascism?

I meant toxic masc is 2 being male what Islamofascism is 2 being Muslim, i.e. an evil perversion of some aspects

Ah, OK. I think one problem with that is that people can't choose their sex/gender. It's not a body of ideas.

They can choose whether or not it degenerates into toxicity. I hv no problem with men as such. Or w Muslims.

But I'm not sure that sort of toxicity is a function of masculinity, in the way that's true in the Islam case?

I wd argue that it is. Hence the need 4 a descriptive term.

Masculinity is to do with violence and sexual abuse? Its not just something more associated with men?

No, there's v gd evidence 2 suggest men far more prone to violence (again, talking abt a significant *minority*)

Absolutely there is. Gender differences exist & they extend into different anti-social behaviours.

I don't think we need to deny that to focus on the behaviours rather than the gender identity.
