Joe Rogan and Jon Bernthal discuss toxic masculinity
Some would like to believe that Rogan seemed to have expressed the opinions of a majority of men with his statements. Jon Bernthal also belongs to the same school of thought as Rogan, and the actor was quite agreeable about the entire discussion. The UFC commentator stated, “The people that are high achievers don’t really have to beat their own chest or blow their own horns. What we think of toxic masculinity is really a bunch of losers. A lot of this is like the worst example.” Bernthal also agreed with this remark by the UFC commentator.
The 55-year-old podcaster also shed light on the fact that, although the term toxic masculinity was prevalent; the same couldn’t be said for toxic femininity. He also mentioned that the idea of toxicity has more to do with humans than gender.

“You know there’s no term toxic femininity. But there’s toxic human beings, some of them happen to be male, some of them happen to be female, but it’s not an indictment on the male gender of the species,” said Rogan.
