Toxic Masculinity

Toxic Masculinity

A Poem by Askew

"But not all men..."
No.
You're completely right.
Not all men are bad,
Not all men hurt women,
Not all men radiate toxicity.
But a lot of men,
Just enough men,
Too many men.
I'm sorry your masculinity
Is fragile enough
To be offended
By women's pain.

I love this poem. Without too many words, without vain rethoric . It's a sharp piece and straight to the point. The theme you write about is very strong, and it had to be represented in an equivalent strong way. You are not leaving space to free interpretation, and I applaud that. You made great points, and your writing is perfect. Very well done! And thank you for speaking up about such a relevant matter.
