Beware Toxic Femininity

Regarding Toxic Femininity

There has been a lot of talk about toxic masculinity lately, but none about toxic femininity. So, I now take it upon myself to tackle this very large, quite obnoxious, and loudly shrieking elephant in the room.

First the definition: What is toxic femininity? Well, I scoured the internet and found laughable definitions, the most notable being: “the harmful societal pressure on women to conform to rigid, often stereotypical, gender roles and expectations, which can lead to individuals suppressing their needs and well-being to please others, particularly men.” That’s from google.

There is nothing in this definition about women exuding harmful influences on others or society at large, there is also nothing about their misinterpretation of fake dangers diverting attention away from real dangers or their inability to regulate their emotions leading to the destruction of healthy debate and relationships with men who are naturally wired for such activities.

But we are awash in it all and being that the glowing boxes seem to have no worthwhile definition, I will attempt to craft my own. Here it is, for what it’s worth:

“Toxic Femininity is the negative effects heaped upon society from womankind’s inability to regulate their own emotions or place critical thought and reasoning above pure unhinged passion. There are many causes for this but the most common are low societal expectations placed upon women to conduct themselves honorably, the fact that most women do not take the time to study war and therefore do not understand the basics of it, and the innate instinct to focus on what sounds nice rather than what is in fact realistic and/or effective.”

If you ‘re a woman and your reaction was “ouch” I’m sorry but also not sorry. As a woman myself I care about women. I care about society. And when you really care about someone you tell them hard truths. That said, I continue and invite you to do the same.

I’ve crafted my definition from observations of what is popular among womankind these days.
Here are a few vapid examples:

The View. Ever watched it? It’s nothing but a bunch of clucking overweight bit ties prattling on about how much they hate Trump. Raw. Unhinged, Unintelligent. Emotion. Look, Trump is not my favorite human being either, but hating him, or anyone else is not the answer. Hatred expends valuable energy. In the time they had been gripping about Trump they could have lost some weight or done something else productive.

Next example: Taylor Swift. Sigh. She’s got some good music, but that’s where it ends. By that I mean she’s not a good example of how to conduct oneself honorably as a woman. She is in her 30’s and still dressing like a teenager, again gripes on about Trump and other things she’s not qualified to comment publicly on (you’re a singer, not a talker darling), and due to these characteristics among others has difficulty keeping a man despite her wealth and fame. If anyone dares criticize her, her “Swiftie” fanbase feels they have a right, nay an obligation, to crucify said critic. They have become violent on more than one occasion. Again, we have Pure. Raw. Unhinged. Unintelligent. Emotion.

Are we seeing a pattern here?

And my favorite example of Toxic femininity are the Handmaidens’ cosplayers. By placing an emphasis on the horrors of a fantasy Christian dystopia, these unwitting women pull attention away from the true horrors of a much more realistic Islamic one.

I mean no offense to Atwood’s work; she wrote a good book. Emphasis on “book.” She did not write prophecy. And I can say this with confidence through the simple power of sociological observation. In other words, I’ve never seen anything close to Atwood’s vision despite the plethora of Christians surrounding us. No one wears the red cloak and white bonnet for real; handmaidens exist at comic cons and leftist protests and nowhere else. In functioning majority Christian societies, you either pay a fertility specialist or a willing surrogate mother if you are having difficulty conceiving, and I don’t see that reality changing, as these avenues for parenthood seem to be working well (no slavery/force servitude needed).

On the contrary, Islamic societies have real functioning political veils. While these are not worn to designate birthing surrogates, they are worn to designate Muslim women, and in some cases who is a slave and who is not. Yet how many Harem Maiden cosplayers do you see?
Sadly, I’ve seen myself and NO. ONE. ELSE.

Thus, Atwood fans are not cosplaying to a realistic threat but to Pure. Raw. Unhinged, Unintelligent. Emotion. At the same time, they distract from the real threat of Political Islam, a threat that has made it very clear it wants to conquer us and spread Sharia law within our borders.

I’ve made it my life’s missions to control my emotions and place logic and reasoning above them. Emotions can inspire and motivate us, but they should never rule us or be used for the basis of how to structure society. Sadly, a lot of women are letting their emotions rule them, and this is the very essence of toxic femininity. If left unchecked, this toxic femininity will destroy us all.
