    I’d call it toxic masculinity if it was primarily a male problem.

    Toxic masculinity is not a male problem, it’s a set of behaviors that’s harmful or potentially harmful to either the person itself or people around them that is perceived as normal masculine behavior.

    It’s similar to toxic masculinity, but I’d rather call it hivemindlessness lol

    Those are the same things, Toxic masculinity is literally the product of the hivemind, the idea that you are a wuss if you protect your brain and wear a helmet isn’t something that you are born with.

      Yes, it is the same thing except the “masculinity” part. The “feminine” counterpart is toxic femininity.

      We’re talking about a problem that’s not specific to either of those
