Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff Vows To Fight ‘Toxic Masculinity,’ Gets Mocked
The Daily Wire ^ | March 4, 2023 | Amanda Prestigiacomo

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.”

Men “bedding someone”? Wha? That’s what men do. Who’s “someone”?

Only Beta Males drink tea for breakfast. Men drink black coffee.

> The term “Toxic Masculinity” suggests there must be “healthy Masculinity” I’d love to pin one of these losers down to define that.

About a month ago, I visited a Home Depot here in Maine.

When I went through the checkout counter, the guy who waited on me had a long earring, and painted fingernails.....one painted pink, the next one maroon, and so on. He was about 22 - 25 years old.

As I was walking through the parking lot, I thought to myself, “Guys his age were storming the beach of Normandy on June 6th, 1944.”

This couple’s brains are at the shallowest end of the pool, even by California standards. Kamala mouths the tritest of trite woke phrases, sounding like a three year old, unable to articulate anything intelligible. If, God for forbid, she should ascend to the presidency, even Biden in senility would seem to have a head on his shoulders. God help the U.S.A. God help the world.

Doug Emhoff is an entertainment lawyer from Hollywood. He's the last person I'd take cues from when it comes to masculinity.

Doug, please leave the stage, you're embarrassing yourself.

Yeah, these pouters would probably agree with the Princeton definition of a needy, emotional often terrified little child.

I’d never have guessed that Doug Emhoff’s problem was too much masculinity.
