The new Democrat-approved masculinity: Sit down and shut up
Article here. Excerpt:
'It is no secret that the Democratic Party has a problem with male voters. If the polls are to be believed, any hope the party has of winning the presidential election relies on appealing to women at the expense of men.
But, perhaps concerned that Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of appeal to men may prove fatal in the presidential election, the Harris campaign and the Democratic Party are out to redefine what it means to be masculine, and the newly arrived definition is effectively the male version of stay in the kitchen.
In her latest cringeworthy interview as an MSNBC commentator, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki shares the gospel of new masculinity by praising second gentleman Doug Emhoff for “reshaping the perception of masculinity” by being “a supportive spouse.”
Leaving aside Emhoff’s history of marital infidelity that destroyed his first marriage (hardly the image of masculine virtue), Psaki is painting the image that in this reimagined masculinity, to be a “supportive spouse,” men must subordinate their own ambitions and goals to those of the women in their lives. This message of sit down and shut up is the feminist equivalent of the cliche that men want women barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.
Psaki, Emhoff, and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the other anointed model of Democratic masculinity, are doing nothing to address the cultural problems that plague men. Their answer is to redefine what masculinity is. This is the reimagined masculinity that Psaki extolled Emhoff for modeling: A masculinity that shuns ambition and purpose and declares the image of masculine virtue as a flannel-wearing football watcher who stays out of the way.'
