We need to talk about toxic masculinity—or rather, the complete butchering of what that term was supposed to mean.
Now before someone starts foaming at the mouth, let me make this clear: this isn’t a rant against women. Women are bloody champions. Strong, smart, capable, resilient—and let’s be honest, they put up with us blokes on the daily, which alone deserves a medal.
This rant is against the woke brigade. Woke men and women who’ve made it their full-time job to label every act of masculinity as some form of oppression. You know the type—lives in their mum’s house, drinks almond milk and cries when Bunnings sausages aren’t vegan.
We’ve reached a point where being a bloke is treated like a bloody disease. Show strength? “TOXIC.” Fix a car? “MANSPLAINING.” Want to pay for dinner? “PATRIARCHY!” It’s like we’re one grunt away from being accused of war crimes.
Look, I get it. Some behaviours are toxic. Blokes who treat women like garbage, punch walls instead of using their words, or think “emotional intelligence” is a Marvel villain—yeah, they need to sort their shit out. But that doesn’t mean all masculinity is bad.
Somewhere along the way, we stopped separating bad behaviour from being male. Now we’ve lumped everything together in this steaming pile labelled “toxic masculinity,” and told every young bloke, “You’re the problem.” And that’s where I draw the line.
Because here’s the truth: most men are doing their bloody best. They’re trying to provide, protect, raise good kids, and hopefully get five minutes on the toilet in peace. They’re not the enemy. They’re just human.
And speaking of kids—what the hell are we doing to boys these days? One minute we’re telling them to “man up,” the next we’re scolding them for being too rough. “Don’t be weak—but don’t be too strong either.” It’s like giving them a GPS that says “turn left” and “turn right” at the same time.
And girls? They’re getting told to be fierce, powerful, unstoppable—which is awesome. But why can’t we lift both genders up instead of playing this weird game of gender whack-a-mole?
Look, masculinity can be toxic. But so can femininity. So can politics, religion, Twitter, and your mate Gary after three pints. The problem isn’t men. The problem is arseholes—and they come in all genders, shapes, and haircuts.
We need to stop turning masculinity into a dirty word and start redefining it. Let’s teach boys to be strong and soft. Teach girls to lead and love. Let’s celebrate the good in all of us instead of chucking each other under the bus because of a hashtag. But hey—what do I know? I’m just another bloke with too many opinions and a keyboard.
So I’ll throw it to you:
Is “toxic masculinity” a helpful idea—or just another woke buzzword gone wild? Are men under attack—or are some just allergic to accountability? And are we raising a generation of empowered humans—or confused little robots terrified of offending anyone?
Have a think… what actually happens when someone, especially a WOKE person gets offended? NOTHING!!! Despite the drama and the eyeliner running down their face and through their beards, NOTHING…
Sound off in the comments. Be real. Be raw. Be funny if you’ve got it in ya. Just don’t be a flog.
Let’s have the conversation—because ignoring the elephant just makes it shit on the carpet.
Now an even bigger stain is an actual example of toxic masculinity in the form of a big bald elephant in the video link below. Watch from 1 minute onwards and you will know what I mean…
