    You asked for examples of standard male behaviors, not toxic male behaviors.

    Edit: oh, you’re asking which of those, people here would consider toxic? Pick one! Put a negative spin on it, and you can probably find that sentiment pretty easily around these parts.

      What do you mean by negative spin? You don’t think that for example extreme competitiveness can be negative - or what is the point you are trying to make.

        I didn’t say extreme competitiveness. That’s a decent example though. A man will display ordinary competitiveness, and someone will go “oh, that extreme competitiveness is so toxic!”, when there was nothing extreme about the behavior to begin with.
