Those born toxic now are allowed to age and sent to the incubator, AKA public education system, where the toxicity can be refined through liberal indoctrination and injected into blood stream of society. Its making the nation sick.
If we want to put an end to it, clearly we need a filter to eliminate the toxicity. Teaching the already toxic people to hate the country they were born in should be abandoned. That's the filter that could produce some favorable results and needs more development.

That's probably the weirdest thing I've read all year, and the competition was steep.

Its a reasonable response to your opinion or judgement that people are toxic. If we are going to seriously address the problem it seems logical to address it at the source. If that isn't possible then the earlier in the aging process the better. Seems logical. Once the grapes are turned into wine, the wine, can't be turned back into grapes.

My point is some people are toxic, there is no need to stereotype them. It's not men, women, libs, conservatives, young, old or any other group.

My point is if people are toxic when and how did they get that way and what can be done about it?
It's a solution based argument instead of a finger pointing of blame endless argument.

I can't imagine someone is waving the magic wand and getting results from it. Do we need and want toxic people ? Should we incubate them and titrate them into the political blood stream through identity politics ?

Each group and subgroup gets a measured amount according to the supply. It could be that under that idea some identity groups could get more than 50 % of their membership.
Naturally democrats should be in control of government, b/c they know that gov. is always the benevolent master, and let government decide just how sick the nation can become without killing it. I can see the slogan now and its consistent with liberal thought. Let no toxic people go to waste !!!
They have rights also. ( hopefully they will vote too ) The feminist and anti-feminist will certainly get the preferred dosage. Enough to keep them alive even if the dose makes them sick.

It's obvious that most people don't really understand what Toxic Masculinity is. It's a strong phrase, and we automatically assume that it means something far worse than it really does. T

If we're actually looking for the female version of toxic masculinity, then I believe it does exist, and it has nothing to do with men or feminists.

Toxic femininity would refer to the importance that some women place on appearance. The way they treat themselves in order to reach these unattainable, unhealthy physical goals, and how they treat the girls and women who don't aspire to look like that. A girl feeling the need to spend her money on some unnecessary fashion item, rather than have the money to eat because she will be ostracized if she doesn't have it.

Toxic feminism could include the SJW-leaning conservative or liberal feminists.

So toxic masculinity is something that's oppressive and victimizes women; toxic femininity though still has women as the victims.

My description is in no way, shape, or form a caricature of feminism (a feminist caricature would be one who eschews all typical female beauty/grooming routines and who goes out of her way to inconvenience or harm men just to be difficult).

What I am referring to is the astereotype that appears in vitually every tv show and movie and that retail caters to.

1. Catty backstabbing: Being nice to someone else to their face then saying nasty things about them to others behind their back.

2. Placing an undue amount of importance on superficial shallow things: One look in the "beauty" section of any department store or at the number of businesses that cater to female vanity are indicative of this.
  • Mani-pedi? My god, how moronic is it to pay someone to cut and paint your fingernails?
  • All the work spent on eyebrows? Who in the world cares about eyebrows?
  • Buying new clothes every season even though there is nothing wrong with the clothes you have because "fashion"
  • Throw pillows, decorative soaps and towels, and other things that have no function other than to be looked at and take up space
  • etc

Not to mention badmouthing other women if they don't adhere to the established beauty or fashion rules (see #1 above)

3. Massive sense of entitlement: Expecting others to place your wants and needs above their own. The idea that one's own opinions, preferences, and desires are the objectively correct way things are supposed to be. While this can be seen in both sexes, it is much more prevalent in women (the phrase "Happy wife, happy life" exemplifies this...if anything should be labeled toxic it is this sentiment).
