Episode 189: Non-Toxic Masculinity ft. Zachary Wagner

Bare Marriage

CHAPTER

Toxic Masculinity

Toxic masculinity is a way of living out male embodiment that dehumanizes self or the other. It's also connects to the, you know, biblically, the idea of sin. So I think when you have this hyper sexualized vision of masculine sexuality, it's easy to see how this is dehumanizing to women. And women become sexual objects. Every woman is kind of viewed through this erotic lens. It reduces women to their sexuality rather than in a full personhood. This makes men into these like subhuman sex animals or machines. They're not moral agents. They're just like brute instinctual creatures. Both of those are dehumanizing ways of thinking about human beings.
