Salon senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “toxic masculinity.”
Marcotte wrote that “Netanyahu’s toxic masculinity makes for a fragile ego.” She has also described the Israeli figure as an “Authoritarian.”
“Authoritarian men like Netanyahu — or like Donald Trump — love to preen about how strong and powerful they supposedly are. It’s all a lie, of course, and they often expose themselves as cowards who cringe away from real challenges. But what’s alarming is that sexism tricks large swaths of the public into voting for them, supporting them or otherwise putting their trust in men who brag loudly but fail to show any real competence,” Marcotte claimed.
