Answer:

Often the specific terminology of toxic femininity – when used to feminist ends – refers to the gender expectations that keep women subservient, quiet, and submissive to men's domination and aggression.

“Toxic femininity," if it exists, she wrote, "encourages silent acceptance of violence and domination in order to survive ... It’s a thing women do to keep our value, which the patriarchy has told us is conditional upon our ability to bear violent domination … Toxic masculinity also makes women feel locked into a performance of their gender bereft of the normal impulses we have toward independence, sexual agency, anger, volume, messiness, ugliness, and being a tough bird to swallow."

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps
