Draft:Toxic feminism (Internet affects)

Toxic feminism on the Internet is understood as a misunderstanding of the original concept of feminism, in which instead of traditionally equal equality between men and women, toxic feminism is understood as comparing women to being better than men. It has been most widely shown on the Internet since the 2010s and continues to spread today, this can relate to toxic masculinity, but is shown more on social media than in reality.

Toxic feminism is expressed as a way to fight against men and male power on the Internet, expressed as a hatred of women for men today. It has also distorted the original definition of feminism. Psychologists Shoba Sreenivasan and Linda E. Weinberger ascribe the trait to professional women who are “hostile to nurturance and cooperation, opting instead for aggression and backstabbing to get ahead.”

The etymology of toxic feminism has appeared on major social networks such as TikTok, YouTube, Twitter since the MeToo movement, some have said that it wants to have an influence on the world, valuing women more than men.

Definition
According to The Daily Guardian, toxic feminism is "a term that refers to behaviors, attitudes, or beliefs within the feminist movement that are harmful or exclusionary, operates on discrimination, negative portrayal of men, exclusion and silencing dissent, and victimization". Additionally, according to Urban Dictionary, it is generally understood as enhancing the role of women. They all have something in common is elevating the value of women to an inappropriate level, lowering men's responsibilities in society.

Spreading
It has been around since the 2010s, Times of India is probably one of the earliest articles mentioning toxic feminism.

MeToo Movement
The MeToo Movement is perhaps one of the most important reasons for the growth of toxic feminism, in which there have been false accusations, criticism, defamation and media abuse directed at men. The most serious of these, Reckful, was wrongly accused by a female streamer named "Indiefoxxlive", a person in the MeToo Movement community. He then ended his life by committing suicide.

Social media
From the 2020s onwards, toxic femininity have "gone viral" with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter... all being where it started, with false and misleading claims excited. Many memes have been parodied. Accordingly, the term "gender wars" was born, its purpose as a complement of both toxic feminism and toxic masculinity, it refers to a negative competition between men and women, claims that men and women cannot live together and therefore there must be a conflict. "Gender wars" appears most prominently on Twitter, with Andrew Tate being its most ardent supporter.

Barbie
Some people after watching Barbie believe that this movie is radical feminist and strongly anti-men. Accordingly, men in the film are presented as malignant and evil.

Possibly in Michigan (1983)
Possibly in Michigan is a 1983 American short film in which two women are chased by a man and then lured to the girls' house and treated to food. According to the comments section, it is considered "gay, anti-family and anti-man" and "lesbianism", Chris Straayer said the film was talking about "male violence against women".

Critical response
Typically, toxic feminism is most clearly expressed in videos on social networking platforms, often with video motifs of the form "We don't need men" showing that women can live without dependence and belonging to men in an "Open World" society, or satirical genres like "boys can't cry, girls can", or "boys have no emotions" and "women are always better than men in every field" are things that are easily seen in toxic feminism ideology. According to H. Pearl Davis, feminism is "extremely harmful to both men and women, as well as society in general, in terms of its perspective and politics". For scientists, feminism and toxic feminism are the same thing because they both promote women excessively, "it is no longer gender equality in society" The Guardian reported.

International Women's Day
There is an opinion that organizing International Women's Day without an international day for men is considered an act of "respecting women over men", "giving women more rights", "valuing women", "more women than men in society" and somewhat "toxic feminism". This is also mentioned as a discrepancy for both sexes, although there is International Men's Day as unofficial day and the United Nations doesn't recognized it.
