However, Evelyn pointed out that if the man (or knight/king) respected the woman (as a queen, not a damsel), he would instead listen to her, acknowledge that she had a painful experience, and then address other men to prevent that experience from happening again.Evelyn added that men are taught that toxic masculinity is something that is popular, cool, and desirable.Evelyn continued, "Toxic masculinity only knows entitlement, dehumanization, and hierarchy of humanity." Dangerously, because these behaviors and norms are taught as desirable, men wear toxic masculinity to belong, to be wanted, and to be needed.So when a man engages in sexist behaviors — i.e., talking over women, degrading women in locker-room talk, cheating on women — what he is really saying is, "I need to be needed," Evelyn said.She elaborated, "When people say 'religion and politics are off the dinner table,' it means that the conversation around female oppression and oppression of people of color only disrupts civilized and peaceful interactions.
