Toxic Masculinity in White Lotus

NO SPOILERS Dishonorable mention to Dominic, Greg, and the whole, very sus Palermo crew. Shoutout to our only unproblematic (so far) king, Rocco. Toxic masculinity is the real star of this season of “The White Lotus”. Who do you think is the worst offender? #shorts

I loved the scene at the end when all three of the men in that family turned to oggle that woman walking past. Albie believes he is better than his outwardly misogynistic father and grandfather but at his core he views women the same way.

[@blucolife]

Women and men are wired differently. Feminists don't understand that, they even want us to sit down to pee, I kid you not. They attack manspreading not realizing we have testicles and crushing them together is very painful. Feminists even say that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. What man says that about women? Instead they say "you can't live with them, you can't live without them."

If Albi represents toxic masculinity there is no hope for anyone. Dude was a complete “simp” with almost no traditional masculinity.

[@Salewinnful]

I really think that for Ethan is just more than that, more than toxic masculinity ( even if is still toxic ) i think that is a simplification of what everything is about, i think all the dynamics with the 4 charaters is a lot about cheating / fellings / monotonia / habits or even monogamy. especially after Daphne story with her coach and the call with their sons, and one who look exactlly like her coach

[@shanouboubou]

I believe it's because of the two different ways masculinity and feminity are constructed. Yes they're both social concepts that each come with certains expectations regarding behaviors, ways of dressing, ways of being, etc. but Masculinity is also a social status : hard to obtain and even harder to maintain. It's all very messed up and so very easy for a man to fall too far on the end of the spectrum. That being said toxic feminity also exist, but the social contexts of both masculinity and feminity are so different it's hard to properly compare the two.

[@myotakuacountyo1216]

When women are shitty she’s morally implicated in feminine ways too. She’s called a slut, a whore, a bitch, a cunt, a seductress, a witch. Ever notice how many curse words are designed specifically to disparage women? There’s entire bodies of literature dedicated to bashing women for their femininity. How can you be this out of touch? Not seeing world through the eyes of anyone but yourself and your victim complex is a dangerous thing. Misogyny is everywhere and you’re priority is “boo-hoo men being bullied” while women have to deal with actual oppression. Get real, and be glad it’s called toxic masculinity and not women inventing a whole new vocabulary and field of study just to hurt men the way men have hurt women😒

Hot take: Albie, Jack, and Lucia ALL sucked, just Albie sucked a little less

[@whyareyoureadingthis5227]

Albie was toxic tho. Albie being the walking representation of the "soft boi". He spouts feminist ideals and progressive words but he doesn't stand by them. He himself says he prefers "broken birds" in the women he dates

[@rachelwharton4245]

White Lotus’s nuance is why it’s my favorite show of the year. Albie’s toxicity definitely isn’t on the same level as most of the other male characters, but no one is perfect. He’s easy to sympathize with (in fact he was my favorite character) because you can see how hard he’s trying to be better than his predecessors, which is very admirable, but he’s clearly young and inexperienced with relationships, especially because he hasn’t seen any healthy male role models in his own family. He’s grown up watching the women in his life suffer, most specifically his mother, and subconsciously looks for someone like her he can prove himself to. He can’t fix his mother’s pain, but he hasn’t accepted that and is looking for a romantic experience to fill that void. He wants so much to be unlike his father and grandfather that he goes too far in the opposite direction, and ends up in a place where he needs the validation/approval of a woman, which taints his interactions with them and causes his kindness to fall flat. He’s at least somewhat aware of this but hasn’t yet addressed his inability to be attracted to an emotionally healthy woman. That’s what unlearning your trauma does for your love life, it changes who you feel drawn to. An emotionally healthy woman wouldn’t have even pinged on his radar because she wouldn’t have needed his rescuing and it wouldn’t have soothed that part of him that’s afraid he isn’t good enough. I love Albie’s character, because he represents the hope of their family line. I thought it was amazing seeing the generational progression of their issues, and how they all fall somewhere short, either by a little or a lot, because it’s just so human. You can see how far he’s come past the baggage he had to grow up with, and while still so young, you can be sure he’ll continue learning and growing into many times the man his forefathers could ever be. Everyone’s at least a little toxic in one way or another and that’s okay, all we can do is try to improve on the cards we’re dealt 😊

Let’s be honest all the characters in the show are toxic. It’s why is so F-ing good!!!

[@mauve9266]

Looking at this comment section I think a big issue with ‘toxic masculinity’ as a term is the departure from the original definition. I could be wrong but I thought initially toxic masculinity was referring to the way men are socialised to suppress their emotions under patriarchy and act behaviourally aggressive more generally(an expectation exacerbated by both men and women) and that manifesting in ways that are harmful but now it seems it’s widened to any rlly bad behaviour that a man displays is labelled toxic. If I’m right it’d make sense that women aren’t labelled as having toxic femininity cos the active and persistent suppressing of emotion isn’t usually a pressure put on women. If anything it’s the opposite as women are usually expected to be emotional, sometimes overly so, and naturally be in touch with their feelings. I think the muddying of the definition is rlly unhelpful cos it alienates a lot of ppl especially men who feel attacked and so they just rail against the whole idea when dogmatic adherence to toxically masculine ideals harms men just as much as women. Ofc you’ll have those ppl who will rail against it no matter what cos feminism or downfall of society or whatever but for people who are just genuinely confused it doesn’t help but different terms go through this process all the time like the word ‘gaslighting’ for instance. Annoying but kind of inevitable.

Basically , being a man is toxic . I cannot agree that being detached or being the white knight who ended being duped isn't desirable, but surely not toxic .

[@David-hl9tn]

Men : exists Western Woman : wow such toxic masculinity

[@yashrajjain8359]

So judgmental of men haan!

[@codyk1875]

I love this show, i just finished season 1. while these traits are toxic I wouldn't attribute them to masculinity. To me toxic masculinity is toxicity derived from some sort of internalized sexism. Like when men feel they need to act a certain way to behave manly or macho. Like with the aggressor. But just because a man is being toxic, it doesn't mean he's exhibiting " toxic masculinity". But that's really just semantics, I really do love how the show manages to weave the stories of a diverse amount of characters together with all their vices and negative attributes.

I disagree about Ethan being an example of "toxic masculinity", he was the most mature and normal person in the show. Only thing that I do get was that he didn't show much physical interest in his partner which is quite important in a relationship but I don't think that makes him toxic? I do agree about Cameron and Albie though.

Glad you called out Albie. He's written to be a "nice guy" but he's very much performative and "fake woke." His complete misunderstanding of The Godfather and why people like it (it's a tragedy and cautionary tale against violence, not a success story and glorification of crime as he thinks) both indicates his own flaws as well as mirrors how the audience might misinterpret The White Lotus itself.

[@kyle857]

Yes, all of the female characters were perfect and never displayed any toxic behavior because...toxic masculinity.

[@BD.Stcyr7999]

Apart from « the detached » I agree! He’s detached from an emotionless partner

[@AllenMacCannell]

Albie learns NOT to be a white knight anymore to the tune of a $50K loss because he thought a hooker was a "victim". Plus why did almost all the men fail to worry about catching something from these two escorts. He blackmailed his father for the money. The grandfather was a treasure because of his flirting. In the finale all three properly turn their heads when an attractive woman walks by at the airport. Albie also learns not to be a gentleman when he loses out on sleeping with Porsha because he makes no move on the first date (and another guy does). The most toxic men in the series were the ones who tried to kill Tanya. Yes, the non straight ones were the ones Tanya rightfully shoots

[@frescoclean]

Trying to say that Ethan or the liberal simp di grasso kid display toxic masculinity is a joke right? Ethan was the only good guy in the whole show. His wife was gross and toxic if anything, and he should have just divorced her period

Umm…being detached and emotionally unavailable is toxic masculinity? Being a simp is toxic masculinity? Toxic masculinity is meaningless.

[@SoloStudioss]

The thing about the open book is, that while you make think must of them believe that because they’re open and brutally honest that it shouldn’t matter what they say. That’s not true. Some are like that. The majority of us DONT GIVE FLYING FUK if you think what we say is ok or not. It’s the truth. The truth doesn’t care about your feelings. It is their to enlighten and make you self reflect, however it’s said. For example: if someone cheated on someone and told me, I’d called them a lazy egotistical coward who doesn’t have the balls to break up with somebody because they’re afraid to be alone, which would be factual… cause that’s why everybody cheats. It doesn’t sound pretty but against the truth ain’t meant to be pretty.

It’s just toxic, not “toxic masculinity”. That’s a terrible term to use, especially when you’re talking about a show that breaks down stereotypes and shows all of its characters as flawed.

[@datscrazy4095]

Yup, things guys do “✨toxic masculinity✨” And y’all see why most of us don’t give a fuck about what y’all have to say. And before some psychoanalysis pseudo smart person says “WELL ACTUALLY ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE SHOW ARE SHOWN TO BE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF HUMAN NATURE AND RELATIONSHIPS” I counter and say “touch grass and observe human interaction”. This show was a masterful expose on social interaction, people forget no one is really good, nice, or righteous. Everyone has there own morals, self interest, and worlds that they pay attention to and pay attention to only. Nothing in this show was toxic, it was just HUMAN

[@AllenMacCannell]

The toxic men in this show are those who were trying to kill Tanya (and I'll bet Portia was supposed to be killed as well, but Jack got a conscious).. The grandfather was liked by the female characters, especially Portia who shared a water bottle with him (during Covid even). His flirting was not seen as rude or toxic by anyone other than his overly feminist son and grandson. The most anti human toxic comment I've heard in a film was Albie saying that people should be neutered after a certain age so they won't bother younger people with their sexuality. The son was toxic for possibly exposing his wife to the diseases a prostitute might have. The grandson, mostly for the same reason, should not have been OK with learning he just slept with a prostitute, especially after losing Portia because he was too much of a gentleman by saying good night too early on the first date.

[@oldfanboy]

The whole comment section is toxic. Oprah needs to hand the toxic card out like prizes on her show. I don’t like the vid, toxic. You don’t understand the vid or disagree, toxic.
