The patriarchy doesn't exist, women have completely 100% equal rights within a democracy. It's ludicrous to suggest that a society so obviously equal is not even just unequal but is under a patriarchy.
I saw feminists complaining about characters in video games for displaying "toxic masculinity" because they were fighting and being strong. Feminism is pretty much built on motte and bailey tactics, something that's reasonable is produced like how you've just described toxic masculinity, then toxic masculinity hampered as a hundred and one other things. In the West people overwhelmingly believe in equality and yet you have 25% of females as feminists in the US and 7% in the UK. People look at the movement hear "it's just about equality" and then blatantly see that it isn't.
Also "An example of toxic masculinity in our culture is how people call a man “pussy” when he cries. Just because he’s a man doesn’t mean he needs to act like a stereotypical tough guy all the time." this is just a boogeyman, in all my life of being a man around men who like to fight and drink heavily I've never once seen a man call another man a pussy for crying, it's one of those things feminists just make up and then perpetuate as fact.
Maybe that’s your experience, but it’s not everyone’s.
In my school a guy can’t even say he’s sad without his “friends” calling him a pussy. You’ve been around really good and considerate people. But the truth is that many men do attack each other for showing what they perceive as “weakness”.
Also, a democracy may set the standard for society but that doesn’t mean everyone follows it. Just go onto YouTube and look in the comment section of videos about women’s rights. I guarantee you there will be tons of people commenting on the lesser worth of women and making nasty misogynistic comments. Our country is a democracy, but society itself still looks down on women as weaker, less important, and often times even as an object to satisfy the needs of men.
It depends on what kind of "women's rights videos," if it's something that's perceived as anti-man or is presenting a ludicrous sentiment then they're going to attack it. Honestly yeah "many men do attack each other for showing what they perceive as “weakness”. " you're by and large right on that part, too much weakness is attacked and looked on as a negative quality. But there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Evolution has worked for us men so that if someone is weaker they're looked down on. Weak tribes get conquered, their women get raped their children get enslaved and their men get massacred. You're effectively asking men to go against their evolution since before civilization was borne, it's a fruitless endeavour.
Modern feminism makes me scared to approach women
