Toxic femininity. The four toxic traits of women in relationships

Black Coffee explains how it’s not just men who can be toxic in relationships.

--

We tend to hear a lot about the toxicity of males, but rarely if ever is the toxic female mentioned. Yet, every man I've met has either met one, dated one or worked with one.

A toxic female is a self-centred woman who uses indirect aggression to manipulate others for her benefit and/or cause psychological harm.

She thinks she's better than everyone else and expects special treatment. But at the same time, she has a fragile ego that needs constant reassurance of her beauty.

Toxic females in relationships make men's life hell, but their toxicity is normally hidden behind a beautiful facade cloaked in vulnerability, selflessness, or victimhood. In the same way, a male's toxicity is hidden behind his charm, and boldness, causing her to get away with things other women would struggle with.

You can find toxic females everywhere from every culture, race or walk of life, and they are known to prey on both the “good” and “bad boys”

Here are four traits of a toxic female, so you need to look out

They fail to take accountability for anything

It's always someone else's fault. Toxic females are masters at manipulating people and situations and if their boyfriend isn't careful, he might end up apologising for something she did, for example, cheating.

Let's say a man has proof of her cheating and confronts her about it. At first, she'll deny it and then say something similar to “it's because you don't pay me enough attention” which means he now goes on the defensive which makes the situation about him not paying her enough attention instead of her cheating.

They're entitled and lack empathy

They think the relationship should revolve around their beauty and all they have to do in the relationship is look good. Their boyfriend's issues and problems mean nothing to them, and they are incapable of caring about anyone besides themselves utilizing, neglect or using guilt as a form of control.
These types of women are not genuinely interested in things…
