A lot of people also assume that feminists focus solely on women's problems and toxic femininity. Toxic femininity is when traits such as empathy, fragility, patience, and tenderness are associated with women and it is when women are expected to uphold these traits in order to be classed 'feminine'. Not only does it cover personality traits, but women are also supposed to look a certain way: hairless, small yet voluptuous, and conventionally 'beautiful'. This is all done in the name of femininity. Essentially, toxic femininity is when the patriarchy creates an image of the 'perfect woman' and manipulates women worldwide into thinking that they should resemble this ideal. While this is definitely something that feminists are trying to get rid of, they are also working to get rid of toxic masculinity. Similar to toxic femininity, toxic masculinity is when the patriarchy tries to enforce their beliefs of a 'perfect man' on individuals.
