Toxic Masculinity

A quick Google search of "toxic masculinity" yields a plethora of information and misinformation. Generally, though, most liberal sources associate the following with the term: dominance, misogyny / devaluation of women, extreme self-reliance, the suppression of emotions, homophobia, and violent tendencies. Let's dig into these!

Dominance
According to numerous verses in the Bible, the man is the head of the house. Women naturally seek a dominant male as a spouse.  Ephesians 5:22 will be a good starting point. 

Misogyny / devaluation of women
Women and men are different.  One is not greater. One is not lesser.  Men and women think, act, and communicate differently.  There is research proving these and other differences. Of course, the mere mention of differences outside of one being greater than the other is immediately labeled misogynist and alternately, devaluing of women.  Not so.

Extreme self reliance
Of course. Because modern socialist liberalism thinks everything needs to come from the government.  Ironically, they don't realize the government is the ultimate "Big Daddy" providing everything in their lives.  It's the ultimate symbol of patriarchy. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says this: For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Suppression of emotions.
Liberals will use the word "suppression" here in a negative connotation. A better description would be "making decisions based on fact rather than feeling." James 1:19, 20: My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,  for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.

Homophobia
The Left uses the term homophobia - fear of homosexuality. Again, they twist things.  The real description is "doesn't approve of homosexuality." Romans 1:26-28 is a good start. 

Violent tendencies
Humans are a violent species. Most experts agree that finding a productive outlet is far more effective than trying to repress the urges, only to have them boil over. Martial arts, shooting, and the like are normal and natural outlets.

Therefore, I am gladly #ToxicMasculinity
