POV tag to be removed?
editDrmies added a POV tag to this article; I believe it is time to remove this, as there have been many further edits addressing this problem. Comments, please.Mwinog2777 (talk) 18:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Meh, I'm fine with that, yes. Drmies (talk) 02:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Origin of the concept
editI would like to know what the origin of this term is? Who came up with it? What is the proof that it even exists? It seems as though it is axiomatically true with no proof required. I see it used a lot by feminists to bash males. 67.204.247.30 (talk) 00:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- The very first reference is an article in an academic peer-reviewed journal. If you understand the weight of that, then your question is answered, I believe. Drmies (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Masculine fragility → Fragile masculinity – Per WP:COMMONNAME, see sources like this. Furthermore "masculine fragility" can refer to something non-personality-related, while "masculinity" makes it clear what is being referred to. In fact, I'm not even sure if "masculine fragility" should be kept as a redirect due to its heavy vagueness. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:27, 4 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:42, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- KEEP current title with Fragile masculinity and Male Fragility as redirects. The title is describing an identity.[1] As per WP:COMMONNAME, there is not a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources that favors either.Mwinog2777 (talk) 18:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Google Ngrams currently has Fragile Masculinity more common than Masculine Fragility, at a 13:1 proportion in 2022. Docsisbored (talk) 07:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've reviewed the above and it is correct.Mwinog2777 (talk) 17:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know what to say besides pointing out that you are clearly misreading it. It only refers to "masculine identity". Manhood is the gender identity they are talking about, not "masculine fragility". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- If the outcome of this discussion is to change the title, there should be two redirects as I mentioned.Mwinog2777 (talk) 18:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
