One thing “the internet” will always be is hilarious.

Toxic masculinity has definitely founds its home on social media.

It’s where self-proclaimed “alpha men” go to tell other men what to do, and what not to do, in order to be real men.

However, sometimes it’s women who promote ideals of toxic masculinity? Is this toxic femininity?

I’ve witnessed a few of these debates on social media in real time. According to some men and women, these are things real men don’t do.

According to some women, these things aren’t manly, and in their minds, they are instant turn-offs.

According to alpha males, real men don’t do these things, only beta-males…

Without further ado —

1. lick ice cream from a cone
2. eat skittles
3. drink fruity drinks like strawberry daiquiris instead of hard liquor (preferably straight)
4. sleep in the passenger side while their friend (another man) drives
5. eat a banana
6. sleep on your stomach
7. order dessert
