However, Michele Tafoya, a \u200bformer\u2063 NFL sideline\u2064 reporter,\u200d criticized Kimes for \u2064prioritizing this view over Walz&#8217;s \u200dpolitical record, describing\u200c it as embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>The author notes that while Kimes champions this version of masculinity, it ties closely to current political ideologies, which may obscure more\u200d traditional and\u2064 admirable traits associated with masculinity. The author questions the integrity and honesty of Walz, \u200creferring \u200dto various controversies surrounding\u200b him, \u200dincluding a bill mandating free \u2062menstrual products\u200d for students, which the author interprets \u200bas political \u2063correctness \u200cover common sense. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, \u200bthe author reflects on how liberal praise for figures like Walz could stem from an ideological need rather than genuine admiration. This,\u200b according\u2063 to \u200bthe author, leads to a conflict where \u200dindividuals might hide their \u2062true feelings, resulting \u200cin\u2064 inner dissatisfaction. \u2063the piece \u2062critiques the contemporary interpretations of masculinity, suggesting that ideologies aim to reshape its traditional definitions, often to negative ends.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section>\n<p>Liberal women often talk about masculinity as something that woke ideologues have the power to reshape in their own image.<\/p>\n<p>One suspects, however, that deep down, not even they believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Last week on the &ldquo;Pablo Torre Finds Out&rdquo; podcast, uber-woke ESPN host Mina Kimes praised Democratic Gov.

We know that. So why refer to &ldquo;menstruating students&rdquo;?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we know that answer, too.

If they do &mdash; or even if they say they do &mdash; then it explains why so many of them have self-reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/liberal-white-women-may-hand-biden-win-2024-poll-probing-mental-health-may-explain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mental illness<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if they praise Walz while secretly finding him repulsive, they cannot even say what they really think.

But they cling to them anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever masculinity means in totality, God led men and women together to define it a long time ago.

However, one might doubt that they genuinely believe this. Recently, on the podcast &#8220;Pablo Torre Finds Out,&#8221; highly progressive ESPN host Mina Kimes commended Minnesota&#8217;s Democratic Governor Tim Walz\u2014who is also Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s running mate\u2014for &#8220;modeling a different kind of masculinity.&#8221; This statement drew mixed reactions, including criticism from veteran NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya. Kimes remarked that we are beginning to see a shift in the NFL with figures like the Kelce brothers and Dan Campbell, suggesting that being a &#8220;big, tough football guy&#8221; can coexist with emotional expression and empathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kimes referenced retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, along with Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell. While most people appreciate emotions and empathy when directed appropriately, Kimes&#8217; example to illustrate Walz&#8217;s version of masculinity was telling: she noted he ran a gay-straight alliance while coaching football at a high school.<\/p>\n<p>Tafoya responded on social media in a way that many would find reasonable: \u201cI am sincerely embarrassed for @minakimes. And how pathetic that her kind of \u2018masculinity\u2019 means more than the candidate\u2019s record, which is abysmal.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Regarding Walz&#8217;s record, one might question whether Kimes considers his actions\u2014such as alleged stolen valor or abandoning troops before deployment\u2014as part of her definition of masculinity. It seems likely she wouldn&#8217;t know how to respond since she appears unable to separate traditional masculinity from woke ideology.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, during his governorship, Walz signed HF 2497\u2014a bill requiring free access to menstrual products for all menstruating students in grades 4 through 12 in restrooms used by those students. The mainstream media often defended Walz; CBS pointed out ambiguities regarding where these supplies should be located without addressing the fact that only females menstruate. Yet woke ideologues insist on using terms like \u201cmenstruating students\u201d regardless of biological sex.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter note for conservatives, HF 2497 inspired some clever nicknaming for Walz as \u201cTampon Tim.\u201d The popular X account Libs of TikTok highlighted this nickname while questioning whether others found him unsettling: \u201cDoes anyone else get weird vibes from Tampon Tim?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;creepy&#8221; seems fitting here; at minimum, it suggests an unhealthy preoccupation with minors&#8217; sexual identities on Walz&#8217;s part. Additionally, he greeted his wife with what Republican Senator J.D. Vance described as a \u201cnice firm midwestern handshake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This situation raises an important question: Would those liberal women who commend his supposed &#8220;masculinity&#8221; actually want someone like him? At face value, many would likely respect someone who has been both an educator and served in the National Guard; however when examined closely enough one finds qualities such as dishonesty and cowardice within him\u2014traits not typically admired even among liberal circles.<\/p>\n<p>If they do admire him or claim they do despite finding him unappealing underneath it all\u2014it may explain why so many report feelings of mental distress among themselves.
