      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.

      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.

      This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/26/masculinity-trump-kamala-harris-us-election) reduced by 97%. (I’m a bot)

      > Naturally, it's a political ad. Specifically, it's an ad made by the Lincoln Project, a group of moderates and former Republicans united by a desire to topple Donald Trump and support Kamala Harris.

      > Masculinity subtext comes text When Trump descended down a golden escalator during the 2016 primary, we entered a new, far more obvious era of presidential masculinity.

      > The more people believe that traditional notions of masculinity are good and true, the more likely they were to vote for Trump in 2016, when Trump ran against a woman, and 2020, when Trump did not, Vescio found in a 2021 study.

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

    8. AttentionSpanZero on

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

    9. royhenderson771 on

      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.

      Queue the “she’s masculine because she’s trans” weirdo crowd.

    11. CaptainNoBoat on

      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.

    12. ThatGuyFromTheM0vie on

      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?

      “Are you man enough to vote for a woman?”

      I like the ring of that. 🙂

    15. StunningGur on

      > Be a man and vote for a woman

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

    16. UziMunkey on

      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.

    17. Illustrious_Map_3247 on

      Imagine thinking that whiny, coifed and make-upped, reprobate daddy’s boy is masculine.

    18. InitialDuck on

      “Be a X” and “Real X” messaging is awful, but it’s from the Lincoln Project in this case so I’m not surprised.

    20. _byetony_ on

      The less they can make this about sex and gender the better. Dont make HRCs mistake

    22. Flat-Impression-3787 on

      Donnie Fraud has the largest breasts in the Trump family, wears the most makeup too.

    23. BgSwtyDnkyBlls420 on

      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.

    24. rAxxt on

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

    28. DougNSteveButabi on

      I’m a marine veteran and if Kamala Harris farted in my face I would still vote for her. I’ve donated to the campaign and will continue to and I wear my WERE NOT GOING BACK shirt proudly.

      Trump is dangerous and I’m very disappointed in my fellow Americans, many of which I served with, others that I’m related to, for ignoring all the red flags trump drops on a daily basis.

    29. karmagod13000 on

      Actually valid. No real man would vote for a grifting criminal like trump unless they wanted to be like him… Which isn’t a man that’s a selfish child,

    31. The12th_secret_spice on

      I’m not voting for a gender, I’m voting for a leader. Only one of them has shown me they can lead…they just happen to be a woman

    32. RBVegabond on

      I’ll vote for her for policy more than anything, I couldn’t care less what gender, ethnicity, or religion they were, I want the policies being presented by her.

    33. hifidad on

      I’m a stereotypical manly man and voting for Kamala is the easiest decision of my life. I simply think about how my daughter’s life would fundamentally change for the worse under project 2025 and a second Trump administration. This election isn’t about me and I’m putting some personal beliefs aside to ensure a better future for her and a lot of other people.

    35. AZWxMan on

      How about just “Be a man and vote for the responsible, sane candidate.” I will be happy if we finally elect a woman president, but that’s not why I’m voting for her.

    36. satyrday12 on

      I’m not voting for a woman. I’m voting for someone who’s EASILY better qualified than the other, in every single category. That’s Kamala Harris.

    37. doesanyofthismatter on

      Please please please don’t pull a page from Hillary’s book and do the whole if you’re a man vote for a woman. There are too many people that this doesn’t sit well with.

      I am so happy Kamala has left out the “first woman president” out of their campaign. It’s polarizing.

      Just be a decent human and vote for Kamala.

      Edit: I voted for Obama and Hillary, but I despised the way Hillary’s campaign was ran. The amount of times I heard if you “really were a man you would vote for a woman” was really belittling and sexist. Or the amount of rhetoric I heard that men are sexist and that’s why they won’t vote for her.

      Like, imagine if there was a playground going to be built near where you live in a lot that attracts a lot of drug users. You plan on voting yes to use tax money because you think it would be great for the community. Then comes in Sally that knocks on your door and tells you that you hate kids if you don’t vote for it. You might consider voting against it or just not voting because Sally was being a dickhead trying to guilt trip you into voting for it.

      I don’t care that Kamala is a woman. I like her policies and think she will kill it as president. And fuck trump lol
