	After spending the past decade visiting different schools and communities, I can confidently say two things: one, nearly every community has its own set of false finish lines when it comes to our ideas of success, and two, none of this happens overnight. Nearly all parents and caregivers find themselves in the midst of hundreds of false little finish lines that start far earlier and become far more ingrained than we realize. Remember those pregnancy apps that say the baby should be the size of say, a mango in utero, during this particular week? Or comparing a child to the...

So-called “toxic” women aren’t always actually toxic. While some certainly are, let’s reevaluate the label a little in the context of the patriarchal society we live in. A woman is actually toxic when she lacks empathy, is cruel, is exploitative, manipulative, and deliberately demeaning — that is a narcissistic woman, but she is not the true subject of this article. We certainly don’t want to embody true toxicity or encourage those traits or behaviors. But some of the women men usually label as “toxic” and fall in love with may not be any of these things. Some of these women are labeled “toxic” and “difficult” for all the wrong reasons by low quality men — like standing up for themselves or having basic boundaries, not being submissive enough for a controlling man, or fighting back and defending oneself against mistreatment. Here are the real reasons why men fall in love with so-called “toxic” and “difficult” women, and how you can integrate this knowledge to improve your dating life and protect yourself.
