Toxic Femininity: Are Women Trained To Hate Each Other?

Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:14:02

Description:

Chrissy Teigen has had to do a lot of apologising lately, after decade-old tweets and messages emerged showing she verbally abused a number of young celebrities, including Courtney Stodden, Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne.

Could this really be an example of 'toxic femininity', and what does that term even mean?

The Quicky speaks to two feminists about whether toxic femininity really exists, or if this term is just another way for mainstream misogynists to target women.
