    But so is toxic masculinity. It’s used to describe men being assholes because they’re men, and not because they just happen to be assholes, too.

      Hey, sure. I’m not arguing for the term toxic masculinity. I’m arguing against pseudo masculinity because it’s way more confusing.

      It’s probably better to find another term entirely

        I understood pseudo masculinity without the explanation. I haven’t seen any evidence yet that the term has been confused.

        But any term for a gender issue is going to be misconstrued and confused, just look at the term feminism.
