A post showing a lady rejecting the marriage proposal of her man after taking gifts from him. One toxic masculinity comment on that post read “Why will you kneel to beg a girl to marry you? it means you don’t know what you’re bringing to the table.. I always love it when the woman refuses these proposals and embarrass these peanut-brain boys.”
This remark not only celebrates another person’s public humiliation but also perpetuates the harmful notion that a man’s worth diminishes when he expresses vulnerability. Equating kneeling—a common romantic gesture—with weakness.
