I wouldn't have realy thought so, but since you are getting the downvotes, I guess you are right! I'll upvote you since you've apparently found a taboo subject.

I was really tempted to stop reading after the first sentence - this sounded like it was going to be an incel thing. That's probably part of it.

Yes, toxic femininity is a real thing too. Many women are willing to acknowledge that in my experience, though.

People presumably aren't downvoting because it's a taboo, they just think he's wrong. Because that's a fucking idiotic take.
