Ultra liberal online magazine Vox used Memorial Day to take someone to task for their “toxic masculinity”… the United States Marine Corps.

In part, the article states:
So before the Marine Corps can most effectively help maintain order in the world, it needs to maintain order among its own ranks. Perhaps more fundamentally, the Marine Corps needs to find its identity in an age when the Pentagon’s top civilian and military officials say women should be treated the same as men across the services.
But as bad as the article and its headline are, the replies that followed via Twitter are spectacular:

This @voxdotcom article says more about its author than it does about the Marine Corps. pic.twitter.com/Nk5apVbqEm

Alex, it's Memorial Day. You chose this day to publish a hit piece on the Marines. Be ashamed, if that's possible for you.

The ignorant article did serve to give us something useful, though: the glorious hashtag #ToxicMasculinity.
Thank you, @voxdotcom, for the creation of yet another hashtag that will be appropriated. #ToxicMasculinity is as delicious as #Deplorables https://t.co/H9zoPyu0eL

Funny how #toxicmasculinity is never applied to barbaric Muslim men subjugating women, raping girls, stoning gays & beheading apostates.

I could use more #ToxicMasculinity in my life these days. 🎂

Boy just look at all this #ToxicMasculinity it took to secure liberty and freedom with an ultimate sacrifice.
Happy Memorial Day, Vox. 😒 pic.twitter.com/lD4LpdUE0N

But be careful with all your pictures of glorious masculinity, they may hurt someone’s feelings…
Please refrain from posting images with this much #ToxicMasculinity -they could frighten boys with man-buns in romphims on #MemorialDay https://t.co/UzbdGf35sn
