ON TOXIC ADULTHOOD

1. Toxic Adulthood is a mindset that perpetuates traditional cultural behaviours pertaining to maturity and being grown up which are harmful for men, women and society as a whole. It is a social structure that enforces rigidity and sets in a standard which the adults of society are expected to meet. It is a painful setting that undermines anybody who fails to meet the stereotypical setting of what a "grown up" should be.
2. Toxic Adulthood is anything that asks an adult to not be himself/herself in a vulnerable state. Toxic Adulthood asks you to be mature even when you are not. It demands disconnectivity with your emotions and sensitivity.
3. Toxic Adulthood refers to being a "grown up" who is always showing himself/herself to be mature. It's every time someone tells an adult that he/she "acts like a child". It is adults not allowed to express themselves or play with toys because "maturity".
4. Every time someone explains away bad behavior with "we are adults doing adult things". That's toxic adulthood.
5.Toxic Adulthood is this sense of arrogance that makes us think that being the "bigger person" is the most important goal to achieve. It can make us do things that are uncharacteristic of our own personality. This is why there is a high rate of suicide among adults because it forces them to suppress their emotions. Toxic adulthood is self-destructive and truly toxic.
6. Toxic Adulthood is the reason why most violent crime is committed by adults. It is no coincidence that some of the most violent crimes were committed by adults.
7. Crimes against children and pedophile culture is a result of toxic adulthood. Child abusers are typically adults
8. Toxic Adulthood is adults thinking they are entitled to control children and tell them what to do.
