Second Gent Doug Emhoff Vows To Fight 'Toxic Masculinity,' Gets Mocked
2023-03-06
[DAILYWIRE] As American men continue to struggle, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff wants to use his platform to denounce so-called toxic masculinity
...the liberal concept (the science is settled!) that men are knuckle dragging bastards who spend all their time watching football, drinking beer, burping, farting, and thumping their women. This doesn't apply if the men are girls transitioning to boys, or boys transitioning to girls, or either transitioning to sheep...
Emhoff this past week told MSNBC that there’s too much "toxicity" in masculinity these days, an issue he’s spent "a lot" of time thinking about.

"There’s too much of toxicity — masculine toxicity out there, and we’ve kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine," the 58-year-old said.

"You’ve got this trope out there where you have to be tough, and angry, and lash out to be strong," Emhoff continued. "I think it is just the opposite. Strength is how you show your love for people. Strength is how you are for people and how you have their back and how you stick up for other people and pushing up and out against bullies. And that’s what I believe it is."

"Every time I can speak against this toxicity — we are seeing it with our younger people, we’re seeing it in our discourse and politics, in the media you are seeing it as it relates to so many of the issues we are pushing back on, so I think it’s a problem and I am going to continue to use this platform every time I get to speak out against this toxic masculinity that is out there."

Trish Regan, host of "The Trish Regan Show," ripped Emhoff for contributing to this far-Left initiative of redefining traditional masculinity in a recent podcast where Daily Wire host Michael Knowles made a guest appearance.

"I’d say you’ve confused it," Regan slammed, reacting to the second gentleman speaking about masculinity. "I’d say you’ve done a really good job at confusing it."

"It’s not that hard, it’s just that you seem really kind of hell-bent on making sure that young kids don’t understand the difference between a man and a woman," she continued. "You know, Apple has that ’pregnant man’ emoji and everyone sudden wants to go by ’they.'"

"A masculine man is someone who is a responsible person," Regan clarified for the second gentleman. "A responsible person, a kind person who looks out for women and recognizes the vulnerability and the specialness, if you will, of women. There’s nothing wrong with that."

#3  He failed to define toxic or proper masculinity with any clarity. By his definition John Wayne met the criteria for being properly masculine- few words, fights bullies and loves people. It is good to know that he intends to continue to use his irrelevant platform to pontificate teeshirt material in a campaign that we will all ignore.
