AXIOS — The 2024 Battle of Masculinity: Toughness Vs. Projected Tenderness

Amy Furr 24 Aug 2024

Americans are seeing two visions of manhood as the battle for the White House in 2024 rages, an Axios report claimed on Saturday.

The outlet compared former President Donald Trump to both Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, and running mate, radical leftist Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

The article stated:

    President Trump and his advisers have long viewed their candidate’s masculinity as an edge — particularly after his “fight, fight, fight” cry following the assassination attempt against him.

    …

    At the DNC this week, Gov. Tim Walz and Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff — who paused his legal career when she was elected VP — have projected tenderness more than toughness.

In a statement to Axios, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Harris and Walz support policies that “erode women’s rights and the nature of womanhood,” while “President Trump believes men and women are inherently different but equal.”

A Daily Mail/J.L. Partners survey found Trump leading Harris nationally by two percentage points, Breitbart News reported on August 14:

    The latest Daily Mail survey shows Trump still edging out Harris nationally by two percentage points, garnering 43 percent support to Harris’s 41 percent support. However, that two-point gap is outside the ± 3.1 percent margin of error, setting up what the Daily Mail describes as a “nail-biter of an election in November.”

    The outlet cites another survey, as well, which shows respondents largely viewing Trump as the more “strong” and “charismatic” candidate.

What's with all these articles about masculinity vs effeminate men...?

What's with all these articles about masculinity vs effeminate men...?

The angry soyboy betas are trying to play the toxic masculinity card again. A guy can be tough and/or tender, as the situation warrants, it isn't just one or the other. I just wouldn't treat a little (great) granddaughter with the same mien I would deal with an aggressive drunk, but with each what is appropriate.

Dems are either full stop or full ahead emergency power, whatever direction they're facing, and the subtleties are lost on them. 

They don't get it.

That's a great way of putting it.  The Dems think you treat them both the same.
