I've always seen it like this: toxic masculinity is when one is an asshole in a very direct manner. they throw punches, they beat up the weak, they cut you off on the freeway, etc etc. toxic femininity however, is when one is an asshole in a very indirect way. they gossip behind your back, they maneuver within institutions to isolate you, or they just straight up lied to you.
men and women are capable of both, of course, but one stems from physical strength that men typically have, while the other stems from social prowess that women typically have.
I'd add that toxic femininity is killing your children and having other women try to rationalize it. "Oh she mustn't have been well" ...no fucking shit, now hang the evil bitch.
Or saying female pedophiles are "in a relationship with" their victims instead of flat-out rape.
Agreed
