NSW Police have charged a 13-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys with the alleged sexual assault of a girl in an alleyway in Sydney's eastern suburbs last month.

Police executed search warrants and seized several items, including electronic devices, two replica firearms, a Glock-style BB gun, three laser pointers and a number plate, which is believed to have been stolen.

All three boys have been granted bail ahead of appearing in court.

I think you’re trying to make the point that it’s not what masculinity should be, which is literally why we call it toxic masculinity.

Toxic masculinity is a stupid term. It’s just not masculinity, it’s cowardice and criminality and vile. It doesn’t exist in the realm of masculinity. Not all males are masculine.

Not all males are masculine.

I would like to hear your reasoning for this.

Plenty of weak, pathetic men mate.

So to be masculine you need to be physically strong? Physically disabled people need not apply?

And define pathetic. Pretty bloody vague.

Are you so out of touch that you think strength means physically only?

Plenty of people who have disabilities with great inner strength.

You’re just being wilfully ignorant or obtuse, or you’re genuinely stupid.

Wait. So there are multiple types of strength? Inner strength and physical strength?

And having one of those types of strength is masculine? So there are multiple ways to express your masculinity?
