Men harm themselves more than they harm everyone.

if it is the female exhibiting BPD? It is then characterised as an illness, and she is really a victim of this illness. In fact, it is not uncommon for articles and media reporting to refer to the stigma of BPD.
Indeed, some excuses for female BPD border on the ridiculous. ““The idea that they're actually manipulating is actually quite incorrect if you look at it cognitively speaking," one expert said. "What they're trying to do is get their needs met and also unburden themselves of this emotional distress which gets locked inside them. So if it's a significant other, they'll do anything, they'll try anything, to try and relieve this distress.”” Interpretation: sure they are manipulative, but, you know, for really good reasons!
The actions of men with BPD are rarely similarly excused (SOURCE). When men display exactly the same behaviours, for exactly the same reason - BPD - it's never called, “mental illness”.
No, its name is then “coercive control”.
If you think I’m exaggerating, read THISarticle about Michael Slater, a well-known former Australian cricketer and commentator. His behaviour fits all the manipulative elements of BPD, because he was diagnosed with BPD.
Yes, many men have significant mental health issues. It’s why they commit suicide and harm themselves far more than they harm anyone else. But when a mentally ill man hurts himself, it's ignored. However, when a mentally ill man hurts those close to him, as mental health sufferers invariably do, it's “toxic masculinity”.
“Good, despite flaws”
Since when did flaws make good bad? It’s not bad it’s just inconvenient deal with flaws.
If there's no one around to admire, celebrate or appreciate a skill you have, it'll start to die overtime.
