It&#8217;s well-known that the left opposes traditional masculinity\u2014often labeled as &#8220;toxic masculinity&#8221;\u2014and has sought to redefine it for many years. This shift in perspective coincided with the rise of radical feminism. <\/p>\n<p>One of the most troubling aspects of this critique against men is how these arguments are presented. They rarely engage with traditional masculinity&#8217;s merits or offer genuine challenges; instead, they overlook its positive contributions to society, such as roles in law enforcement and infrastructure that are predominantly filled by men. Instead, there\u2019s a tendency to promote a version of masculinity characterized by lower testosterone levels\u2014men who are perceived as more malleable and beneficial for society.<\/p>\n<p>This tactic is not only misleading but also reflects a deep-seated disdain for men, evident across various platforms including ESPN, social media, entertainment, and even CNN. For instance, during Night Three of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, CNN commentator Dana Bash joined this anti-masculine narrative while supporting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz\u2014a figure she presented as an example of modern manhood.<\/p>\n<p>Bash suggested that Democrats aim to connect with men who aren&#8217;t traditionally masculine or interested in stereotypical male icons like Hulk Hogan but rather those who feel comfortable being supportive partners to women. She implied that understanding this new form of masculinity is crucial for appealing to male voters beyond their core base.<\/p>\n<p>While she acknowledged qualities like protection and health associated with traditional masculine figures like Hogan\u2014which could be seen positively\u2014she quickly shifted focus towards promoting a softer image of manhood suitable for contemporary times.<\/p>\n<p>Bash&#8217;s comments inadvertently revealed an intention among Democrats to target less traditionally masculine men\u2014a strategy that seems counterproductive given historical perspectives on strength and societal stability: &#8220;Strong men create good times; weak (low-testosterone) men create hard times.&#8221; This adage appears increasingly relevant when reflecting on recent political leadership under Joe Biden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2329232,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dana-Bash.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,3685,36915,38975,11801],"class_list":["post-2329231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-democrats","tag-gender-issues","tag-media-commentary","tag-testosterone"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dana-Bash.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2329231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2329232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2329231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2329231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2329231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
