Benedict Cumberbatch on "The Power of the Dog"

[@juliaelrod2154]

In my opinion Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the top ten actors out there today.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

A few moments ago, I watched The power of the Dog, and I never imagined Benedict as a cowboy in a Western film but, he amazed me. As a result, he didn't disappoint anybody like the rest of the cast, furthermore, I'm glad to know Kristen Dunst is back making new movies, so it's good she can reinvent herself as an actress in Hollywood. Meanwhile, I wish Benedict could get an Oscar, he deserves it, absolutely.

[@user-jl7ym4en5b]

I was blown away by his performance as L. Wain. Moreso,as I could not believe it was the same man who portrayed "Patrick Melrose". I haven't seen the Marvel film, ( it's not my thing ), but if I stumble upon it, I'd give it a go. If a film takes in a half a billion dollars at the B.O., & you are the star, ( at a time when your career is hot & you are big draw,), then you deserve a nice piece of the gross! It was @ the same time that he was being paid scale at "The National" doing "Frankenstein" with Johnny Lee Miller.

Masculinity is not toxic. Bullying (male or female) is toxic.

[@xXbubbelXx]

You know how adjectives work, right? There's masculinity and there's toxic masculinity. The latter framing bad treatment of others, abusiv behaviors and a neglect of their own needs and true interests as necessity to be considered a "true man". That's why people talk about toxic masculinity as bad, not masculinity in general.

[@molester2375]

When we're using the word toxic masculinity, we're not referring of masculinity as a whole. When I say that there are toxic relationships, I'm not saying that "relationships" as a whole are toxic; for example, there are so many "healthy" relationships, but there are also so many relationships that are not "healthy", and that's what I mean when I used the word "toxic relationships". When we talk of toxic masculinity, we're talking of men who supress their emotions of sadness, because they feel weak, and they feel that the only emotions that they can show between other people are emotions of anger. I understand that some men don't like the word "toxic masculinity", but the word is important to express some current problems that some men have. There's also the word "toxic femininity" but that doesn't mean that femininity as a whole is toxic. Both words "toxic masculinity" and "toxic femininity" are important to show us the problems that we have as men and women, and how we can try to solve some of these problems.

[@zciwonapo]

@@xXbubbelXx then why don't we ever hear the term 'toxic femininity'?

[@xXbubbelXx]

@@zciwonapo The very short, simplified answer? Patriarchy. The more detailed, a bit convoluted answer: E.g. because it doesn't often result in violence or emotional pain; because a lot of it already has been addressed, since women had to think about and remodel their places in society several times; because being considered less/not feminine usually only appears to be a problem in connection to dating/marrying (e.g. concerned mothers) or by men; because currently it's more about finally getting rid of the "I'm not like other girls"-trope/idea. Toxic masculinity feeds from the disdain against everything that's "too girly" and insists on a very strict separation. Femininity throughout history got labeled as vain, weak, easily overwhelmed, not capable of complex thoughts, pure and delicate, always in need of guidance and protection. Hardly ever was it something you really wanted to lean into, so women and feminist movements still try to broaden the term and give it a more positive spin. Not to mention simply utilizing masculinity/masculine things often results in more advantages and freedom. The other way round not so much. But I'm happy to hear what you consider toxic femininity, and how it's being reinforced and/or by whom. Maybe I'm missing something we really should talk about.
