Today, we honor the fallen, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Unless, of course, you’re Vox. No, they ran a piece entitled “The Marine Corps has a ‘toxic masculinity’ problem” instead.
The article is a piece about how feminist piece about how awful men are in the marines, highlights a couple of actual instances of problems and blows them out of proportion, and makes a couple of blanket statements. Is this really an appropriate way to celebrate the fallen? Of course not.
Twitter was quick to respond with mockery.
Vox dot com has a toxic douchebag problem. https://t.co/4NOkkhK06e

Ridding the Marines of "toxic masculinity", Vox assembled a far more effective force.

Thank you, @voxdotcom, for the creation of yet another hashtag that will be appropriated. #ToxicMasculinity is as delicious as #Deplorables https://t.co/H9zoPyu0eL

And, maybe it’s just me, but isn’t the military supposed to be…toxic?
