As American men continue to struggle, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff wants to use his platform to denounce so-called toxic masculinity.
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.”

Bozo.
Sorry Doug, you don’t have a platform.
He's probably traumatized by Willie Brown's MASCULINITY!! Kamala WAS his CHEW TOY (Andrew Wilkow bows).
Doing like Levine would be right admirable of him.
I wish I had a copy of that sarcastic meme titled “Toxic Masculinity”, which has a picture of a big, strong man carrying a woman and her child through floodwaters.
Kamala probably forces him to watch as she bangs Willie Brown.
Doug knows about toxic.
Doug’s married to toxic.
Exactly, it is like the poem about soldiers , “ I walk into a public house to get a pint of beer, the owner up and says,” we serve no redcoats here”, but when the troopships on the tide it’s thin red line of heroes.” Toxic masculinity was running into the Twin Towers instead of away from them. Oh, one pundit asked about toxic femininity?
You’ve got this trope out there where you have to be tough, and angry, and lash out to be strong,”
This moron is thinking of the “strong” female characters in most movies and tv shows. They’re pretty loud nasty and violent. In the America I grew up in no one EVER advocated being angry and lashing out until the “strong” female came along
Dougie is such a girly man!
Thank you for your service to any, every and all veteran!
The top photo was the one I was talking about.
I’m curious what the percentage is of Americans who even know who this guy is.
The term “Toxic Masculinity” suggests there must be “healthy Masculinity” I’d love to pin one of these losers down to define that.
