While toxic masculinity is direct, aggressive and loud, toxic femininity is more indirect, passive and quiet.
Toxic feminity is when a female passively, indirectly uses her sexuality, or excessive empathy, or woman card, or manipulative tricks to gain power/social status/money/attention or just to lead people to do something for her.
These will be done in a very passive, indirect, silent manner which makes it difficult to prove when confronted.
Examples:
1. Sexuality: (a) Indirect sexual teasing via texts or social media or touching others in a sensual manner. And when you say don't do it, their usual reply is: "I didn't intend that", "Why do you think like that", "felt something?" etc.
2. Excessive Empathy: (a) Crying furiously until you do something. (b) Faking emotions to get something.
3. Woman Card: (a) Blaming patriarchy for her incompetence.
4. Misc.: (a) Belittling others or shaming them out of jealousy. (b) Body shaming other females. (c) Constantly trying to one-up others even in casual sittings. (d) Gossip, smear campaigns.
It is done in a way that confronting, calling out, proving it becomes difficult and if you are a male then puts you in a bad light.
How to deal with them:
1. Avoid at all cost. If you have already got in deep then "passively" cut ties. By ignoring, keeping replies short and never asking them for something or initiating conversation.
2. They want you to fight back. So dont. Hold your dignity and move on, they hate it a lot.
You are such a gold digger girl! Keep your toxic feminity with yourself.

The school of feminist thought that, instead of fighting for gender equality, is more concerned with seeming liberal and feminist and not actually *being* feminist. This is often achieved through strict internet doctrine and openly ostracizing those who do not agree with them. One other symptom of Tumblr Feminism is that, when asked to explain their opinions, sufferers will get angry and storm off rather than actually answering the question. Similar words and ideas include Feminist Nazi, fringe feminists, and feminventing.
Origin: The term "Tumblr Feminism" derives from the social media site Tumblr, which is one of the major gathering places of those with such beliefs. However, Tumblr is not the only site this phenomenon is present, and likewise, not all feminists on Tumblr are true "Tumblr Feminists."
"She told me that I was anti-woman for thinking strip clubs are wrong. Don't strip clubs actually contribute more to the objectifying of women, which is detrimental to female rights?"
"Yeah, don't put much stock into what she says about the matter. She's a Tumblr Femininist."
"Because she believes in Tumblr Feminism, she is against all forms of shaming. Unless, of course, it involves shaming someone who has a different opinion than her."

The pseudo-religious group of upper middle class, mostly white women (and men) who are in the business of dividing the sexes. Not to be confused with women, or normal mild feminists who believe in equality, Feminism Inc is a disparate group of often powerful ideologues who believe, for example, that men should be sent to prison on the mere word of somebody else. Tellingly, none of the male members of the Feminism Inc congregation seem to fall on their swords and resign their positions, instead preferring to demonize other men ad nauseam as if they themselves are part of a different species.
They believe in their own version of science, like Scientologists, Creationists and witch doctors do and generally live off government/public money in one form or another because people are generally a lot nicer than they are in the imaginary dystopias they fantasize about, where they wouldn't receive a penny because the evvviiill patriarchy would have sent them packing.
My son was sent to prison for life on the word of a mental patient, if it wasn't for lobbying by Feminism Inc to remove due process he'd be living a peaceful life.
a woman is simultaneously a victim and empowered, until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most.

Defining empowerment of women in terms of western privilege and ideals.
Women who wear hijabs are not standing up for themselves is an example of white feminism.

Schrödinger's feminism is a type of feminism that has a hypocritical double standard. In it, anything in the world where men have dominance is declared proof of an oppressive tyrannical patriarchy, whereas places where women have dominance (education) is seen as proof that men are inferior. Likewise, men's failures are laughed at while women's successes are applauded. Men's struggles are dismissed as their own fault or even something they deserve. Male led societies are evil while female led societies are justified. Notable purveyors of this ideology include Liza Mundy and Hanna Rosin, and to a small extent also Elizabeth Badinter.
Friend 1: I really feel like my gender studies class is super biased. They claim that men running things is evil but at the same time if women were atop the hierarchy it would be justified when things are reversed.
Friend 2: Schrödinger's feminism is basically what your gender studies class is indoctrinating you guys with. It's hypocrisy at the highest level.
