I found the post you replied to very incongruous, because as I read it started with the idea that men are casually discriminated against (responding to the "men suck" thing) and then skewed into something that may be an issue but is completely in a different spirit (men defying stereotypes by being primary child carers) and then committed exactly often offence the original post was pointing out "toxic masculinity". It's almost like a weird simultaneous attempt to find victimhood while still toeing the "men bad" line.

Toxic masculinity means something very specific, i.e. surpressing emotions other then anger and rage.
I don't think it's fair to equate that to "men bad".

The post said "female dating pool selects in favour of features that are often red flags for toxic masculinity". I took that to be a pretty expansive definition, typical "men that women like over me are toxic" vibe, at least that's how it comes out.

No you are projecting your own worldview over the substance of that comment.

That makes some sense.
Then again, how would a similar "Toxic Blackness" concept fly?

Negative elements of traditional black American culture seem well discussed by the community itself, perhaps to a fault.
