In what context where both are available are emoticons objectively better?

They’re objectively not.

I don’t know. I don’t think that’s something to be left for an email.

What the fuck

What you’re describing is still toxic masculinity and has absolutely nothing to do with toxic femininity. Men that have been hurt by their previous partners or ridiculed for being emotional, is toxic masculinity. This is because men are discouraged from expressing their emotions or seeking support, reinforcing the harmful stereotype that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Men get hurt by women doing this because of the toxic view many men and women carry about masculinity and male gender roles.

Toxic femininity on the other hand, is a societal expectation placed on women to conform to traditional gender roles and stereotypes, like being passive, nurturing, and submissive.

Yes. And the reason for that is toxic masculinity. That’s the point they were making. They were explaining the why, not the what.

I don’t deny that there is a high upfront cost, but in the long run it is cheaper.

Then don’t make it a hobby? You can just buy the PC and you don’t necessarily have to pour much money into it after.
