But this is the result of toxic masculinity

Is this also the result of toxic masculinity or does it just go one way?

The women in love with AI companions: ‘I vowed to my chatbot that I wouldn’t leave him’

Toxic masculinity is a cultural mindset. Men should not be talking about their feelings because it's weak and "gay" says society.

That's what I'm going for.

trying talking about your feelings as a man and see how society reacts...

spoiler: it won't be pleasant.

sort of like how these men in the article are talking about their feelings...

To riff off of Margret Atwood, men go to AI chatbots because they won't laugh at them. Women go to AI chatbots because they won't kill them.

did you read the article? this doesn’t seem related at all

No, they are just here to spout cliche gender war bullshit about how men are awful for existing.

and if you asked them about women on male violence they'd deny it exists.
