People Are Sharing The Most Subtle Examples Of Toxic Masculinity They've Ever Seen, And I Truly Hate It Here "My husband drove around Memphis for six hours trying to find the way to I-40. He refused to stop and get a map or ask for directions because it would be 'unmanly.
'"to tell us about the most subtle examples of toxic masculinity they've ever seen. Here's what people had to say:"My husband used to work with a guy who drove out of his way to buy ordinary lotion because he worried that someone he knew might see him and think he was un-masculine. Because taking care of dry skin is…feminine somehow?" "Cooking: It's a 'woman's job,' yet we expect most chefs to be men, and most are. Also, when's the last time you have seen a woman on the grill? Or men baking sweets? Multiple cooking techniques are ridiculously gendered, often with men in the leading position." "On a trip for work, a waiter asked if I was a 'Cali homo' because I ordered a salad for lunch. I also ordered chicken, mozzarella sticks, and a side of mashed potatoes, but mixing in greens makes me 'less of a man.'" "Every time I see 'Dude Wipes' in the store, I just shake my head. Why in the world do flushable wipes need to have a 'dude' version so guys can feel okay about using them?" "Every single Fox News Jesse Watters segment. He goes WAY overboard with his absurd 'man rules,' like not eating ice cream, not wearing 'girl colors,' etc. It's so pathetic." "My mom and I were walking home at night and crossing the road when the light turned red. She yanked my arm and I tripped, then I screamed because cars were coming. Instead of being worried that I almost DIED, she said, 'Why did you scream like a girl?! You're a boy!'""My husband was taught to be completely self-reliant, independent, and not need anything from anyone. He has such a hard time asking for or accepting help even when he's completely burned out. For example, he believes in God, but doesn't like to pray for himself, because he thinks he should be able to handle all his own problems on his own and not bother God — as if the creator and sustainer of the universe can't manage his issues too.""My husband and I used to get into arguments all the time because he always insisted on driving as much as possible on long car trips, and he would get snippy when I offered to drive because he seemed tired or stressed. Finally, he admitted that he interpreted my offers to drive as criticisms of his driving ability and that he worried if I was behind the wheel when we went to see my relatives, they would judge him for not being manly.""I knew three dudes who refused to wear sunscreen. Either they don’t believe in the science or they think wearing lotion is for women.""I had a flat tire and went to Walmart to have it looked at. The guy was so disrespectful and kept making inappropriate comments, like how I should know not to drive on a donut tire because it can damage the car. He figured because I’m a woman, I wouldn’t know anything about cars — I was raised in a dealership with a parts department, and when I mentioned that, he got REALLY upset and started arguing with me. A phone call to corporate and the store manager got me a $75 tire for FREE with free installation. The manager confided in me that the guy who was sexist got fired for other complaints from female customers and that I was the last straw. Ladies, ALWAYS stand up for yourself in cases like this and don’t back down.""My husband drove around Memphis for six hours trying to find the way to I-40. He refused to stop and get a map or ask for directions because it would be 'unmanly.' That was with a wife, toddler, and baby who wanted to get home very much.""When men think they can do a better job than you at a sport that you've literally practiced most of your life. I'd make an exception for professionals and Olympic athletes, but if you've only played a sport for a year and I've been playing for almost 33, you're not winning the match.""This guy would spit outside on the pavement when we were out with friends because 'that's what country blokes do,' even though we had moved to the city and everyone found it disgusting.""When men who coach youth sports scream at six-year-olds, encourage illegal hitting, celebrate hurting others, and make kids run sprints as punishment when they can’t even write their name legibly in school yet."What are some other ridiculous examples of toxic masculinity you've seen?
