Josh Thomas talks about male suicide

[poppypicklesticks-blog]

I wonder how feminists will react to this

Probably ignore it then go back to making male tears mugs and gifs

Actually this is a very common idea among feminists

It’s something feminists have been talking about for years it’s called toxic masculinity and it’s one of the common threads among the topic of ‘Patriarchy hurts men too’. If fact the first time I read about toxic masculinity was on a feminist blog.

If you actually read things feminists talk about instead of straw manning them you might know this but OH WELL

[vaginawizard-deactivated2015111]

Literally the only people talking about toxic masculinity are feminists. Open your eyes.
