Toxic Femininity

Toxic behavior that is more feminine in nature. Differentiates from toxic masculinity in which toxic femininity is more passive and behind the scenes. While toxic masculinity tends to be upfront toxic femininity tends to be behind your back. Women will claim they support each other but then talk shit behind each others back. Other toxic traits displayed in women are passive aggression, constant negativity, self-centeredness, toxic positivity, destructive criticism, believing men are incapable of feeling empathy, and of course weaponized crocodile tears. Above all they will still continue to consider themselves good people and blame men for all their problems and completely ignore all the women that have caused them harm because it does not fit their cognitive bias. Although there is not much research into this topic it is believed that women with anti-social personality disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and oppressed masochist personality are more likely to exhibit these toxic traits.

Toxic Femininity

The idea of toxic femininity refers to extreme/toxic personality traits that many women develop based on how females as a whole are treated/taught how to act by society. These personality traits usually revolve around a heavy sense of entitlement and failure to take responsibility for one's own actions. Many societal double standards exist in favor of women(don't argue with a woman, don't hit a woman back, the man should always be the one to pay, etc) which further influences this type of behavior. The media mainly focuses on the concept of toxic masculinity but refuses to acknowledge the existence of toxic femininity.
Examples of toxic femininity include:

1. Women who bring nothing to the table yet expect a man to fully support all of their needs.

2. Women who overly sexualize themselves while passing it off as empowerment/expressing themselves(Megan Thee Stallion, City Girls, Saweetie, and pretty much every other modern female rapper promotes a load of toxic femininity in their songs and music videos)
3. Women who claim to want "equality" but refuse to take charge when put in a position to do so
4. Women who frequently bash the physical appearance of other women
5. Women who blame men for all of their problems
6. Women who act weak, helpless, or squeamish (like a damsel in distress) to get what their way
7. Women who only seek men for financial support
8. Women who want to normalize the emasculation of males
9. Women say "men are trash"
10. Women who refuse to acknowledge societal double standards
