As campaigns against "toxic" manhood continue in this #MeToo era, few people talk about "toxic" femininity. Unfortunately, this is because the poison of modern-day feminism has convinced a malleable culture that masculinity should be denigrated. Somehow, eschewing half of society is how equality will finally be achieved.

One culprit in this misaligned crusade is the Women's March. What began as a response to President Trump's election and his questionable behavior toward women has morphed into a symbol of another sickness, that of toxic femininity. The organizers of the Women's March insist they promote equality, diversity, and freedom — while contradicting these values with their words and actions. Included on their page of unity principles are the terms human rights, gender justice/gender norms, racial justice, and reproductive freedom. Meanwhile, women directly associated with the campaign's very formulation, Tamika Mallory and Sharia law-loving Linda Sarsour, are unabashed anti-Semites. Mallory, who reveres the blatantly racist Louis Farrakhan, refused to publicly condemn his words of hate during a recent exchange on "The View" with Meghan McCain. Mallory even tried to cover up her clear endorsement of hate by making it a gender issue and stating that she "should never be judged through the lens of a man."

As the Daily Beast reported:



'Do you condemn Farrakhan's remarks about Jewish people?'



'We didn't make those remarks,' Mallory responded. 'I don’t agree with many of Minister Farrakhan’s statements.'



'Do you condemn them?' McCain asked again.



'I don't agree with these statements,' Mallory said. 'It’s not my language, it’s not the way that I speak, it’s not how I organize ... I should never be judged through the lens of a man.'



'You won’t condemn it,' McCain said.

In response to the continued and unapologetic anti-Semitism, even the Democratic National Committee removed its sponsorship from the group.

Let us also not forget how the Women's March enthusiastically supports killing the unborn as part of their basic platform of supposed equality. What they call "reproductive freedom" includes "open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people, regardless of income, location or education."

How thoroughly discriminatory. There is nothing so anti-freedom as stripping the most basic of human rights, life, upon which every other right is built. To do so and call it progress or justice is an abomination. And still, the Women's March proudly claims the life-ending procedure as a virtue to be praised.

The Women's March, its organizers, and those who uncritically support them are awash in toxic femininity.

If we’re going to talk about “toxic” masculinity, then we need to discuss its counterpart. Both masculinity and femininity are natural and necessary for the health of society. The men and women who reject the inherent and honorable qualities within each are the issues, not the attributes themselves. Treating men as almost the sole reason for the cultural breakdown, when women have also played a major part in the deterioration, is to ignore the problem.

We live in a post-Harvey Weinstein world where, thankfully, legitimate sexual harassment and abuse won't be swept under the rug any longer. As society addresses issues that have been dismissed for far too long, it also must not give in to believing only one party is to blame. Femininity that rejects diversity, pins the onus on men, and gleefully embraces the destruction of life through abortion is just as destructive.
