Two Maryland high school girls are on a mission to end ‘toxic masculinity’ after learning that boys at their school created a list ranking girls based on their attractiveness.

Two high school girls are on a mission to end a culture of “toxic masculinity” at their school after finding out that a group of boys at their school created a list ranking girls based on their looks.

“I definitely felt a sense of betrayal. I thought that these people were my peers and my classmates. I realized that I had been compared by other people and it definitely felt like a punch in the gut,” Behbehani told CTV News Channel. , the list included the names of 18 girls ranked and rated based on their looks. The list was created more than a year ago, but resurfaced earlier this month.

“I think they were very open and forthcoming to starting a movement and supporting us in that movement,” Behbehani said of school officials’ reaction.

These girls need a hobby.

3's dressed up as 5's. If they'd got ranked as 8's or 9's you'd have never heard from them! SnowFlakes boyswillbeboys

Women eye hump men all the time and making lists of cute boys is so cliche it's been made into board games. But dudes do it and its toxic masculinity. Makes sense

High school kids doing stupid things...never heard of that one before

We're sorry for having opinions about who we find attractive amongst a group. What a fucking joke.

Always the ugly ones complaining. Guess if voted higher they wouldn't complain. Hey I'm sure guys vote on how you are in bed. Could get your numbers up girls

Grow up, boys have been doing that since Adam and Eve's time.

This has been done forever. The difference is now we are compared against millions not just our town. Not toxic masculinity but maybe bad in our information age world and for that maybe we should change the behavior. Can we do it without demonizing the boys?

This is horseshit I remember in high school even elementary girls doing this in Rankin the boys. Oh my goodness your network absolutely behind on the times this is ancient history stuff lmfao

Let me tell you about your mother’s ranking system for c*ck.

So I guess teenage girls dont rank the boys they think are hot in high school? Give me a break.

Again, it’s just locker room talk. Unless you are horribly insecure this shouldn’t matter at all. Stop being so fragile

I was proud to be a solid 5 when I was ranked by the girls during my high school days. I wasn’t last!

Boys rank girls based on desirability, no no no say it ain’t so What’s become of the world ? Call Vogue , Cosmopolitan! OMG!

isn't this how facebook started ?

Yeah right make a futile attempt to change the entire world instead of just ignoring idiots. When ur old and lonely and surrounded by cats you can tell them how you were once 47 on a list

In Hi school i think girls didnt go for the technically CuteFace boys but the boys who dressed cute. You know... boots, jeans, long hair... I dont know if it’s different with guys, but us girls had different criteria... i think 🤔 i dunno. What do i know.

So basically these girls are telling us men we're not allowed to pick and choose who we like we have to like all women no matter what unfortunately that is not how things work in the real world get out of here unicorn fantasy world the real world is if I like you I like you

The outcome was great! If anyone read the article. Girls involved hoped for a 45-minute meeting with the school and the boys involved. Ended up with a 2 1/2 hour with an apology from the boys.

Being judged makes ppl wear makeup, false eyelashes, colour their hair, get plastic surgery... I remember being really effected by remarks (esp by my mother) abt the way i looked.

girls do the samething😂

That’s not toxic masculinity. That’s called life.

chrisjkeenan My waistline gets bigger and my ranking goes lower. 😭

I remember when i first heard of being ranked. My friend told me she heard the boys say she was an 8.5. I was so naive I didn’t understand.

Average at best.

Holy shit!! Where does this bullshit end? You seriously don't think girls are ranking boys on their looks?! Maybe we should get rid of every man to make women happy!!

Toxic masculinity is another gender.

I'd bet most of these girls have ranked other girls as well.

As if women don't do the same thing.

this has been done forever. I am in my late 30s and we all did this, boys and girls. People need to stop using their children for their politics. Bad look

And females rank males as well tf is this bullshit

Should be fighting about boys calling themselves girls & competing against them in sports at the highest levels

These 5s are delusional

yeah i can’t remember a woman ever doing the exact same thing? toxicfeminism

Would you f**k off CTV with this bull$hit! If people can’t see that the media is dividing people, then they need to wake up. Woman do the same thing when they’re at ladies night I’m sure.

I'd say they are 5's but potentially 5.5's after 16 beer

So many fucking idiots commenting on this post out of their mom's basement. These girls should be proud of what they've done and parents need to educate their boys on how to appreciate woman, not rank them like they're a 'prize' ridiculous

I hope these girls don't think that this is a first. It's only been going on for the past 50 or 60 years or so.

I don't care! High school boys find high school girls attractive. Some more so than others? So you ranked low?.. sorry bout that!

There is a wage gap among pretty and ugly women too. Live with it ladies....

I for one am shocked that teenage boys would even dare to think about the attractiveness of teenage girls.

Toxic masculinity? I’d like them to explain this;

Boys and girls both play these games. No such thing as toxic masculinity just Masculinity. Just becasue some man hating femenist want to label men this way.

8 and 7 look angry.

Its more human than rating handbags.

This is what Facebook was built on!

Women rank men too!

Virtual signaling through 'NEWS'...........From the USA!!!!! cdnmedia CTV

Would this be akin to girls making “pros and cons” lists for guys they’re interested in? Sorry...not buyin.

And stupidly she will go on wearing makeup and heels imaging she’s a rebel to society
