Not wanting to eat out their significant other isn't necessarily correlated to toxic masculinity; I think you're conflating two different things. It's possible to be selfish completely unrelated to toxic masculinity. Not every instance of a male doing something wrong is attributable to toxic masculinity.

    So people are saying "look at me, I'm selfish" as a joke?

    You're completely right that not every bad behaviour in a male is toxic masculinity. And a completely non-sexist person may just not want to do it out of pure selfishness. However there are plenty of jokes about the gayness of a man eating out a woman. I'm pretty sure these topics are closely related. The logic of those men usually looks like this:

    Eating a woman out => submissive => weak => bad
