Feminism in News and Popular Media

The other day I was listening to a very interesting interview on CBC Radio 2 about the effort the American Military had made to reduce the incidents of rapes in the military. The interview panel discussed the concept of "toxic masculinity".
Has anyone else heard of this term? I thought it was fascinating the way they talked about how men really feel entitled to having a women's body. That they are somehow entitled to take a woman's body and do with it as the like, as a matter of right.
This then got me thinking about the whole butch/femme dynamic and made me wonder if this notion of entitlement is alive and well in our communitiesl?
Could it be...I am interested in everyone's thoughts.
