'''Toxic masculinity''' is a label for exaggerated, societally unproductive displays of violence, status seeking, antisociability, and other forms of aggression. | '''Toxic masculinity''' is a label for exaggerated, societally unproductive displays of violence, status seeking, antisociability, and other forms of aggression. In other words, when male intra-sexual competition becomes maladaptive to society. [[Men]] are '''toxically masculine''' because [[women]] are [[sexually attracted]] to it. Those who campaign against toxic masculinity the most vocally today also ridicule men for not being able to compete to secure sexual intimacy efficiently. This is odd as the main reason men are toxic masculine is because of this competition for women. | ||

Funnily enough, in group-living primates, increased male competition (often cited as toxic masculinity) tends to decrease male [[reproductive skew]], or reduce the difference in access of females between males.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19018288/</ref> | Funnily enough, in group-living primates, increased male competition (often cited as toxic masculinity) tends to decrease male [[reproductive skew]], or reduce the difference in access of females between males.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19018288/</ref> This also applies to male aggression in general. One study found that the high amount of aggression in chimpanzees may be what makes it have lower reproductive skew than bonobos. In that [[incel]] bonobos use aggression to sneakily coerce females they do not have broader permission to be with. The higher cohesion of bonobo society may be why bonobos have more sexual-access inequality among males, as this limits the ability of males to be sneaky and coerce females.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5568700/</ref> | ||
This may explain why highly-competitive polygamous human societies (Nigeria) seem to have less inceldom than polygamous societies with low competition (Brunei). | This may explain why highly-competitive polygamous human societies (Nigeria) seem to have less inceldom than polygamous societies with low competition (Brunei). | ||
