Meryl Streep has come out against the term, ‘toxic masculinity.’
Huh.
As Michael Knowles says here, even a stopped/broken clock is right two times each day.

From the Independent:
The three-time Oscar winner explained that she dislikes the term because, in her opinion, all individuals can exhibit toxic behavior, regardless of gender.
“Sometimes I think we’re hurt. We hurt our boys by calling something toxic masculinity. I do,” Streep said. “And I don’t find [that] putting those two words together … because women can be pretty f***ing toxic.”
She’s spot on here.
We KNOW, we’re as shocked as you are.
Whoaaa she’s making lots of sense ?

She IS making a lot of sense.
Whoaaa is right.
She imagined a life with nothing but soy boys and did a double-take.

She also imagined a life where damage is done to ‘our boys’ with this specific term.

True story.

I've had my issues with Ms Streep, but on this, I applaud her. ?? https://t.co/uChqSaiCLj— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 30, 2019
