If a man behaves in a negative or destructive manner, it is often put down to 'toxic masculinity'. This is something that a feminist on TV can come out with, as well as someone who isn't a feminist.
Now, it could be said that this is because feminists have a good understanding of what is going on in the world - they have their finger on the pulse, so to speak. Another way of looking at it would be to say that it is simply due to the fact that they are often the kind of people who are given a platform.
Different Views
Consequently, this gives them the ability to define how a large part of the population perceives the world, with this being why one doesn't need to be a feminist to think like one. However, it wouldn't be right to put all feminists into the same box, as they don't all have the same views.
There are going to be some who are well-adjusted and rational human beings, while there will be others who aren't. The trouble is that the ones who are unbalanced often give the ones who aren't a bad name.

But what can be hard for some people to understand is how a feminist, or anyone else for that matter, can use the term 'toxic masculinity'. The reason for this is that it is not uncommon for a feminist to say that men and women are the same.
Thus, if they are the same and there are no differences, how can negative or destructive behaviour be put down to their gender? Surely, if men and women are the same, it would be far more accurate to use the term 'toxic behaviour'.
