She’s more masculine than him, he’s just a whiney old loser who complains about anything and everything….
Ask him a moderate to tough question: “your vile and horrible to ask such a thing”
He can’t go a few minutes without complaining in his speeches

A female leader isn’t a big deal anywhere apart from in the USA.

Donald Trump is what weak and impotent men envision masculinity to look like.

Very few males would consider Donald masculine.

Imagine Trump being the guy in a masculinity election. That tells you all you need to know about “masculinity” in America. It’s not about physical fitness or ability, it’s not about sexual prowess, it’s not about intelligence or taking care of others or even family. It appears to be about being a “rich” sexist rapist “tough guy” (who isn’t tough at all). I guess I’m just not man enough, at 6’3 260 former athlete and fighter, to vote for Trump.

Is that what we’re to think about the election? Masculinity election?

Trump’s message is essentially “bend over and vote for Trump.”

How fucking idiotic that we’re defining masculinity and femininity based on who we vote. This orange piece of shit has managed to turn everything political. The damage done to the country is still incomprehensible.
Remember people like Hitler, Trump, Putin, etc. would never have an impact without enablers. Trump has 74 million enablers.
We’re surrounded by fucking morons and traitors.

Trump was born with a silver spoon, inheriting $400 million from his father. Has never worked a blue collar job in his life, and has probably never held as much as a screwdriver.
He has no idea how to fire a gun or anything about guns. He probably sucks at driving and knows nothing about cars or repairs. He once said exercise “depletes your life battery.” He hates the sight of blood.
He dodged the draft, makes fun of the military, makes fun of southern accents. He wears a shit ton of makeup and is a fake TV persona.
How THIS GUY became the hero of “masculine” conservatives says everything you need to know about “masculine” conservatives.

The President is the Commander in Chief. Kamala said she’d take down a home invader with her personal firearm. Walz was national guard and won shooting competitions.
Could you imagine Trump doing the same? Fighting alongside the troops? Pulling out his own weapon alongside Secret Service in a bad situation?
Absolutely not. Dude cannot even hold a glass of water correctly. His frail hands can barely guide it—it’s a miracle he can tweet with those tiny hands.
And this is the masculine, tough, strong hero of the MAGA? The leader of our military? A dude who can’t even drink water lol?

That is awful. Have you not noticed Harris is staying far away from the “first woman” angle (a la Hillary)? There’s a reason.

Middle aged, white, father of 3, registered independent, gun owning male here. I will be proudly casting my Kamala Harris in November. I want my kids to have a future. I want them to have a President they can look up to.

“Be a X” and “Real X” messaging is awful, but it’s from the Lincoln Project in this case so I’m not surprised.
JunkyardAndMutt on
For many in America, the opposite of “masculinity” isn’t “femininity.” For lots of deeply entrenched cultural reasons, the opposite of “masculinity” is “weakness.” Masculine and feminine leadership is so generationally siloed that they’re not even opposites anymore.
So I don’t know if Trump is “masculine,” but I know he’s weak. He’s insecure, thin-skinned, selfish, vain, whiny, lazy, dishonest, and cruel. He’s incapable of taking responsibility for his actions and he can’t admit when he is wrong. He is everything I try not to be as a man and father.

I hate seeing the misogyny of people on full display. There was a road ‘sign’ made from a palette which had been spray painted to read “We don’t need a dumbass fucking c*nt as President”.
First of all, I think your guy’s the dumbass pal.
Second off, she’s probably a fuck ton smarter than you.
Third, bow at the feet of woman or be crushed beneath the heel of man.

If you are unwilling to vote for a woman because you believe it would somehow damage your masculinity and manhood, then you have nothing to worry about. People who think like do not have any masculinity to begin with.

As a man I’m personally offended that Trump is suggested here to be “masculine”.
