That's funny, really. I always only ever encounter it used by people who smear any and all masculinity as "toxic".

Do you have a link to a place "toxic masculinity" is used to describe a minority subset of the male population?

Sounds like you've managed to get yourself living in quite the bubble/echo chamber. Go explore the world dude.

I'm unaware of any social circles use the term "toxic masculinity" and are not using it to smear men. People outside of those bubbles do not use the term at all, probably because its pretty offensive to males.
