New in PJ Media:
As the husband of the vice president, a job in which there is very little to do, Doug Emhoff is the very epitome of useless. He gracefully reinforced that impression Wednesday, when he fearlessly confronted one of the most pressing issues of our time. With a level of courage and insight that lesser men can only wish they could someday attain, Emhoff, striding the narrow world like a colossus, bestowed his steely gaze upon Jonathan Capehart of MSNBC and informed the hapless correspondent that the vice president’s First Guy was confronting (unflinchingly!) the biggest, profoundest, toughest problem our sorely-tried nation faces today: toxic masculinity.
Capehart, somehow managing not to be intimidated simply to be in the presence of The Second Dude, said to him: “A moment ago I asked you about gender roles. I want to dive in even deeper on that. Can we just talk about masculinity for a moment? Has being second gentleman changed your view of perceived gender roles and what it means to be a man?” This is the journalism we need, America! When confronted with the useless husband of a useless official, ask him how he feels about being useless! Bravo, Capehart! This is your finest hour!
And Emhoff felt the blow, responding (no kidding): “Oof.” But then the great man recovered his legendary composure and launched into his rousing defense of weak men everywhere: “This is something I have thought about a lot, I’ve spoken about a lot. 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. You’ve got this trope out there where you have to be tough, and angry, and lash out to be strong.”
By “masculine toxicity” Emhoff clearly meant “toxic masculinity.” Close enough, Doug! In any case, he put his finger on the real problem America faces today. Can any objective observer survey the contemporary scene and not come to the conclusion that our trouble is that there are just too many masculine men out there being strong, tough, and dependable? Just look at them all: Rachel Levine, Dylan Mulvaney, Sam Brinton, Sam Smith — the list goes on and on. Clearly, we really do have a masculinity problem; it’s just not quite the one Doug Emhoff envisions.
You won’t catch Mr. Kamala going all John Wayne on us and standing strong when the going gets tough. Oh, no. That kind of thing is “toxic.” Authentically Masculine Doug made it all plain for Capehart: “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.” That means, for those of you who may not speak fluent Leftish, opposing Trump and DeSantis.
There is more. Read the rest here.

There is so much stupidity, the world is on stupidity overload. How much more can a normal, honest, reasoning person, endure?
Can anyone imagine John Wayne, Gregory Peck, or any number of actors from years ago, playing this “second dude”?
Why are people not complaining about the transportation guy, pete what’s his name’s friend and good buddy, that other mayor, being arrested for child porn? wojahn…does the reporter and second dude think there should be more like him?
Btw, who is the “first dude”? Must be biden…he claims to be everything else.
Namer says
Now the 1st dude suffers from Toxic Femininity. This whole administration is in need of some toxic intelligence.

The US is already so emasculated that it’s failing military recruitment. Take a hard look at the battles in Ukraine and ask: Which of the US males you know are able to take a Ukrainian soldier’s position when the US starts sending them? It won’t be Doug Emhoff, US Politicians, limp collegiate Democrats, the boys of Hollywood, or the Gay Prides of SanFran.
The Ukraine War has shown, clearly, that nations quickly run out of sophisticated weapons when engaging an equally capable enemy(unlike the MEast) and then the outcome is determined by who has the most real masculine men armed with “dumb” weapons like artillery and rifles.
Rome died as an Empire because it’s hedonism, debauchery, wholesale wastes of the circuses(deficit spending), professional army, and economic colonialism, killed its masculinity. Could we be on the same path?
James Lincoln says
Westman,
The US military has gotten so woke that it is rapidly losing its appeal to conservative young men.
And that is a tragedy.
dazzleme says
I agree, that is a REAL tragedy. When all the good men are gone in the military what will we do to protect our nation???

I wonder what got him to marry a woman, who’s well known to have climbed up the political ladder in California by being the concubine to San Francisco’s political heavyweight Willie Brown. It’s a well known joke in the state that the only Black DNA that Kamala has is Willie Brown’s 😈
So any guy who’d agree to marry Que Mala has got to be really desperate. No wonder he doesn’t think much about masculinity, when his spouse has more of it than he does
tim gallagher says
What a bullshit artist he obviously is. His pathetic words will, no doubt, please his wife, the cackling idiot, Kamala Harris, and keep things peaceful at home. Maybe Kamala’s incessant cackling laugh, at home, has driven the man mad and so he comes up with nonsense like that.

I thought “that’s no joke” Biden said that “white supremacism” is the number one clear and present danger to homeland security in the USA! So, I guess the white supremacists are the toxic males. Well let’s man up and get rid of everything toxic!
It’d be racist to include black males in the toxic men group; it’d be a hate crime to include the LGBTQ+ in the toxic group, it’d be anti-American to include Democrats …
The final solution is to follow the science and come up with a standard color chart to get rid of all white men, even if they don’t identify as white men. That’s no joke!
Don’t know much about history, but think of what a wonderful world this would be if white men never existed!
In addition to charts, the second Dude needs Kamala to draw up some fascinating and apropos Venn diagrams for “him” (if that’s “his” masculine pronoun), so he can contemplate intersectionality and clearly explain all this “bullshit” to tim gallagher.
