      See? Weird. All the women do that when I walk in the room. Also I slashed my wife’s tires to get her to date me.

      I’m Jesse Watters.

    Straws are gay now? Does this guy just chug it?

    Men can’t have bananas, popsicles, corn dogs, hot dogs, fruity drinks, sugary coffee, and ice cream, and now they can’t use straws?

      I saw a man once eat a banana in a completely non-gay way.

      He opened his banana from a seam in the middle of the banana most of the way to the top and bottom, then ate the banana like a pussy.

      Strangest method I’ve seen.

    This obsession with being ‘manly’ is the least manly thing I can think of. How am I supposed to take you seriously when you’re a whiny little bitch about things like straws?

      Exactly, as a man the only thing I care about in regards to milkshake-manliness is if there’s whipped cream and a cherry on top! If the waitress forgot it, that means she doesn’t respect you and you need to keep ordering until she sees how much lactose you’re able to handle as a master of your domain! If you shit yourself, just make sure to tip extra…

    This is not the first time Watters has talked about straw use on air. His implication is that straws are somehow phallic and a man using one is gay. Watters’ strange obsession tells us more about his own phallus than anything else.

    Who the fuck does not use straws in milkshakes? They’re literally served with a straw by default because that’s how you’re supposed to drink them.

    And this dumbass knows Tim Walz is married and has kids, right? While he got divorced for being a lousy cheater - which tells you everything.

        He probably doesn’t even know that much about it. He’d say “one of those blended frappes? A decaf diet frappercino, no coffee flavor please, ha ha…. Folks, no, it’s good! Please clap”

        No he doesn’t. He calls it a vanilla coishion dessert prequel, and you KNOW it!

        He spills it all over the couch cushions, like every other normal, non-weird, alpha male.

    Young men “Don’t Feel Seen” By the Democrats

    But we at fox news do see them and make sure at every opportunity to make them feel shame and guilt for not reaching the level of masculinity that we define (and change) on a frequent basis.

    The young men go unseen. They run through the streets screaming “SEE ME! GAZE UPON MY VISAGE AND KNOW FEAR!” The young men shovel vanilla ice cream shakes into their contorted faces and gurgle in triumph. They do not use straws.

    I hate the whole x is manly/masculine crap.

    Most of the time it’s just glorifying highschool jock behavior. Some stereotype of an alpha chad with their “masculinity” dialed up to toxic.

    I’m a dude and you know what I think is manly/masculine? Being a good person, paying bills, working and earning money for your family, being a good parent to your kids, taking responsibility when you make a mistake and trying to fix it, respecting people property, boundaries, rights, and freedoms. Generally being helpful, productive, and kind.

    Otherwise known as being a productive member of society.

    You can be deficient in some of these areas too, like earning money to support your family, maybe your spouse is the breadwinner and you’re the stay-at-home parent. That’s good too. If you don’t have offspring, then we can waive the parenting stuff. Etc.

    And these things don’t just apply to men, they can all be applied to women too, because being manly to me, is more about being a good human.

    Anyone pushing a different narrative, to me, is someone pushing for people to be garbage.

    I don’t care what you have between your legs, or whether you have kids or not, or whether those kids are your biological offspring or not. I don’t care what color you are, where you come from, who you love, what your job is, how much you make, what diplomas or degrees you have, or what God you may, or may not believe in.

    Be kind to eachother. Support your friends and family. Be a productive member of society. Be a good human.

      It’s all about defining the “in-group” to exclude people they don’t like. It starts with not liking the person, then looking for a behaviour they can call “not masculine/feminine” because the worst thing you can be is not representative of your gender.

      No one has ever said that drinking a milkshake with a straw is unmanly. But Tim Walz did it, and we don’t like Tim Walz, and if the out-group does it then it must be bad.

      This is also why calling them “weird” bothers them so much. “Weird” means you’re part of the out-group. However, the average person doesn’t exist, everyone has something they do that the average person doesn’t. You tell a person without an in-group out-group obsession that something they do is “weird” and they won’t care and continue enjoying their life. Someone who is obsessed with being part of the in-group will feel ashamed about not being average and try to hide it. It’s an impossible standard they expect out of themselves and everyone around them.

      Also, isn’t obsessing over how a man drinks his milkshake with a straw kind of weird?

          “Saying what he means” and never apologizing or admitting being wrong. Typical toxic masculinity bullshit.
