    If he thinks voting for a women is feminizing, imagine his reaction when he finds out about the men who literally get married to women.

      I got married to a woman.

      Can confirm, I can’t stop my feminization, my wife can’t bake so I make all the tradwife things like cakes and muffins. She also hates painting her nails and we can’t afford regular manicures, so I’ve become very good at trimming and painting nails.

      On the other hand, I’m a tradey and taught my wife how to do basic home repairs and upgrades, so I haven’t touched my tools in months because she just does it while I’m away because “I shouldn’t have to work too much at home”

      It’s almost like people are just people and will do what they need to do regardless of if it’s gendered or not.

      This whole feminization thing is stupid. Men have done stereotypical feminine things for thousands of year, and women have done masculine things for just as long. It used to be taboo a century ago for women to wear pants, now no one bats an eye. It’s been a running joke that men can’t cook for decades, even though now all of my male friends, single, dating, or married, are all very proficient cooks and often cook more than their wives.

      The people obsessed with gender are insane. How someone acts in their own life should be no concern of anyone else.

      Im guessing they see it as voting for a woman is submissive because you’re acknowledging that a woman has more power than you, whereas marrying a woman means the man has power over the woman.

    Ok. So don’t vote for Majorie Tyalor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Joni Earnst, Marcia Blackburn, Kay Ivey, Kristi Noem… I can literally keep going for a very long time.

    “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”

    It’s really like sport teams in their heads ehh?

      Yeah this is definitely a prelude to fellas, is it gay to be interested in intimate physical and emotional contact with a partner of the opposite sex

    It seems like a stupid statement that deserves to be made fun of, which it is, but it’s also indicative of one of the dark parts of the conservative mindset. There’s the bigotry of course, but there’s another layer on top of that. It’s like, since you are obviously one of the good true Americans (a straight white male, naturally), it is beneath you to submit to being ruled by one of those “others.”

    Submission to a weak inferior sub-human leader is a weak and cowardly act. It is also an insult to your fellow nobles, so you are betraying yourself and “your people” by voting for somebody who is clearly not the right type of person.

    Repeat and reinforce this shit over years and decades, make it part of your group identity, and you get things like “better a Russian/felon than a Democrat” (because democrats love being cucks for “diverse” people obviously) and a deep-seated visceral reaction to somebody who is an other in so many ways. A woman AND multiple nonwhite races, oh my!

    Source: am straight white male who grew up in religious conservative area and had to work to shed all the tribalism and anger and negativity. (It’s part of the wider problem of so many conservatives defining their identity by the things they hate)

    The pundit was making fun of a record-breaking “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call on Tuesday’s episode of The Five when he questioned why “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”

    “It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

    I was thinking that that last line could be a joke, but I would need to hear the delivery. You never know

      I wouldn’t call nonsensical vitrol a joke exactly, even though the socially accepted response to it is often laughter. It’s not funny, they’re just trying to successfully out-group with each other. Ape brain stuff. Smiles and laughter saying “yes we are in the same in-group.”

    • Thousands of dollars on hormones.

    • Voting one time in a national election.

      That was basically my reaction reading this. I was like “okay, I’m not posting this one, it’s obviously exaggerated… actually, it’s not exaggerated at all”

      It’s not dumbness, it’s cravenness. He’s saying things he thinks MAGA-bros like to hear. “Yeah brother, high-five! Burn those libs!”

      (why have I had to comment this on news articles about conservatives twice recently, this is getting weird)

      One thing I’ve noticed happens a lot is that, in trying to demonize them as socialist boogeymen, conservatives often make Democrats seem way cooler than they actually are.

      By the way, if you want to mix it up, here’s a similar meme you could comment:
