The Rise Of The Toxic Woman: A Growing Issue in Modern Relationships and Society

Firstly, let me start off by saying I’m fortunate enough to know so many amazing women who are loving, kind, and have a healthy and fair mindset. However, I can’t help but notice the rise of toxic women over the last 10–15 years in modern society…
The Pendulum Swing Between Feminism and Misandry
I think in the push to stamp out the unfairness towards women that was so prevalent in yesteryear, the pendulum has now swung too far the other way with men now being the downtrodden in the overall collective sense. That’s not to say that there aren’t still a portion of misogynist men who mistreat women, because there absolutely is. But, from what I can see there has been a significant increase in misandrist women who are on a complete mission to dominate, control and destroy any man that dares to breathe within their vicinity – even more so if the man is courageous enough to say no to them.
Social Engineering, Masculine Energy, and Power Dynamics
From a larger lens, I would say this increase in toxic women – with an agenda to emasculate men – has been carefully orchestrated behind the scenes by the elite hierarchy. After all, if men were in their healthy masculine energy then scams like Covid would never have occurred. Can you imagine the men from our grandfather's era allowing such an obscene dictatorship to stranglehold the entire world?
From a spiritual lens, what I can see is that women have been pushed too far into their masculine energy, and in turn, men have been pushed too far into their feminine energy. Now, of course, I’m not saying that this has happened to every human on the planet – there’s always exceptions to the rule. I’m just saying in a general sense this is a theme I’ve observed in modern relationships.
How Toxic Feminine Masculinity Plays Out in Relationships
A woman who resides too much in her masculine energy does become toxic in various different ways. This especially plays out in their romantic relationships. From what I can see it starts off because the woman has settled for the wrong partner in the first place – they cannot attract, let alone keep a healthy masculine man because of their own unhealed wounds and insecurities. Men in their healthy masculine energy would never allow themselves to be dominated in such a destructive way. So, they move on to a man that displays some weaknesses that they can exploit.
They want to change and mold the man into someone that will “fall into line” – because that sort of man is less likely to have the courage to walk away from their overbearing toxicity.
Isolation, Control, and Emotional Abuse of Men
These sorts of women are pulling their men away from their friends and family, their sporting clubs, and basically any activity that brings them joy and camaraderie. You see camaraderie is a threat to their push for total control. If the man has a support group, then they just might get the courage to get up and walk away from her poisonous clutches.
I’ve seen this play out time-and-time again amongst family members, friends, and in my working life. In turn, if the man does find the courage to leave this is where his nightmare begins – the scorned woman’s toxicity then emerges in full force.
This is where we can see false accusations, domestic violence allegations against men, bitter custody battles, and financial annihilation are just some of the methods these scorned women use for revenge. From what I can see this is actually a HUGE and ever increasing problem.
Domestic Violence Against Men: An Ignored Reality
Not that the toxic woman will admit that, in fact, if they hear anyone standing up for men (innocent men — I’m not talking about men who are truly guilty) it sends them into a total meltdown. I’ve had several of them attack me on social media whenever I do a post that highlights this rising issue.
In their minds all men are bastards, and only women can experience domestic violence. They will argue that all the scientific “evidence” proves that it’s only women who experience such atrocities.
This statement always makes me roll my eyes for a few reasons: the first being that there is virtually no funding put into men experiencing domestic violence, there’s also very few studies that have looked into this increasing problem and lastly, any study can (and often is) manipulated to suit the agenda of the desired outcome.
Which we saw with the findings of the AIFS report which initially discovered that 1 in 3 men also experience intimate partner violence, alongside 1 in 3 women experiencing the same from male intimate partners. However, they decided to leave out the findings regarding male victims because “the study was to solely explore female victims.” How very convenient!
Australian Statistics and the Mental Health Toll on Men
These toxic women always argue that domestic violence isn’t as serious towards men as it is with women because “women get murdered”. They always ask “how many men get murdered by their female partners?”
Well, in Australia 14 men were murdered by women last year, with another 11 women being murdered at the hands of another woman. Combine that with 2529 men who have taken their own lives (in Australia for 2025), then I’d say we have quite a problem on our hands.
Now, we don’t have exact figures on how many men felt pushed to this fatal ending because of the toxic woman in their lives, but I think it’s safe to say that a significant amount of these deaths would be linked to the mental strain experienced throughout messy divorce, separation, and custody battles.
When we compare that to the 69 women (in Australia for 2025) who have been murdered by a male perpetrator, and the 778 females who took their own lives in 2024, I’d say that domestic violence against men is definitely a significant issue that warrants further investigation.
Why Violence Should Never Be a Gender-Based Issue
Not that I’m writing that information to compare or diminish what female victims of domestic violence suffer — it’s simply to highlight that we need to start taking violence against men more seriously.
In my opinion, domestic violence shouldn’t even be looked at as a gender-based issue — violence is violence, regardless of gender. And ALL victims deserve support and help in overcoming such issues.
Final Thoughts: Healing, Balance, and Accountability
This is why I feel the need to highlight the rise of the toxic woman — when one gender is completely excused of bad behaviour simply because of their gender, then we have a serious societal problem on our hands.
There is lots of awareness around the toxic man, and I believe that awareness has contributed to significantly reducing the power that these men once held over their innocent female victims.
Now, we need to do the same in highlighting the rise of the toxic woman so we can diminish the power they hold over their innocent male victims.
No gender should strive to overpower the opposite sex — that is toxic regardless of which side the power falls. Instead, as a society, we should be striving for balance, mutual love and respect. Healed people equals a healed world!
