This year’s midterm elections will turn on many issues. The Iran war, tariffs, inflation. Immigration, taxes, health care.
But there is another, potentially potent undercurrent in several key races that could determine control of Congress — what makes a real man?
It’s the latest example of tough-guy politics since Donald Trump brought his own version of masculinity to the trail more than a decade ago, belittling Republican rivals and defeating two Democratic women in his White House campaigns. Now many Democrats are trying to project their own manhood — or at least more confidently deflect conservatives’ attacks — as they try to return to power.
Defending the vulnerable is essential masculinity.
Males who punch down are the weakest, at best they are little boys.
Moms protecting their babies is masculinity now?
This thread is a dumpster fire.
What a wild way to interpret what the commentor was saying
No interpretation was necessary. They were quite specific.
You’re right, they were. And they said nothing about moms.
This includes moms protecting their babies plainly, on its face, without question. I have no idea what point you thought you were making but I’m not going to keep reading you try. Byebye.
The point is that you’re going out of your way to find something to be offended about for no good reason.
And they completely failed to illustrate that point, as have you. If you think fighting back against pointlessly gendering things is “no good reason” then we have nothing to discuss because you just told on yourself. It’s not up for debate. Go back to reddit with that shit.
