00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Toxic Femininity – The Hidden Pressures
00:14on Women.
00:15Toxic femininity is about rigid and limiting definitions of womanhood.
00:18It pressures women to stick to stereotypically feminine traits like empathy, sensitivity,
00:22and grace, often to gain value in a male-dominated society.
00:26This concept restricts women to being cooperative, passive, and focused on physical beauty to
00:30please men.
00:31Here are some key points.
00:331.
00:34Understanding toxic femininity – It involves behaviors where women prioritize others, usually
00:38men, over their own independence and well-being.
00:41It's like toxic masculinity but flits the script, pushing women to be submissive and
00:45nurturing.
00:462.
00:47What it's not – The term is sometimes misused to suggest that women are naturally
00:50emotional or manipulative, which is not accurate.
00:53Properly understood, it critiques how patriarchal norms limit women's agency and identity.
00:583.
00:59Contradictory standards – Women face conflicting pressures, like needing to look groomed to
01:02earn more but being judged for wearing makeup.
01:05These standards create insecurity and make women easier to control and exploit.
01:094.
01:10Impact – Toxic femininity can lead to women tolerating abuse, feeling compelled to stay
01:14in unsafe conditions, and experiencing hostile work environments.
01:18It undermines women's equality by reinforcing rigid gender roles.
01:225.
01:23Understand toxic femininity – Reflect on internalized misogynistic beliefs and make
01:26decisions true to yourself.
01:28Speak up against toxic behaviors and have open conversations.
01:31Use the term, toxic femininity, carefully to avoid anti-feminist implications like calling
01:36gossip a product of toxic femininity, which is not.
01:39And embrace a more flexible and authentic view of femininity.
01:43Toxic femininity, like toxic masculinity, limits how people express themselves.
01:48Awareness and authenticity are key to breaking free from these harmful gender norms and allowing
01:52everyone to be their true selves.
