Toxic masculinity refers to the toxic kind, not the magnificent kind. But, human defensiveness does not allow for people to know that calling a pill "a red pill," does not imply all pills are red. "Blue pill" does not imply all pills are blue.

Humans, sadly, are limited by our defenses. We cannot all know that an adjective ("red" etc.) has a purpose. Our terms, then, confuse and alienate.

Capitalism, by dint of hierarchy/inequality, does mess us up even further!
