If a woman can make you a wimp, you really are a wimp already. She can't improve on nature.

These are the same kind of people who get a hard on for things like shock and aw.

This one was to back up Chris Christy and his "feminization" comment.

Just like global warming deniers, its not that hard to dig up some nutbar that's written a book with the opposing view.

Faux News does it all the time. In this case its to shield Christy, to give him some kind of legitimacy. Make it sound like because some crackpot sexist Aussie wrote a book then he's an "expert" and that will set the record straight, and at the very least prove that Christy isn't alone in his beliefs in order to create doubt in some minds about the issue.

And Elizabeth just sits there when he infers that the USA should cave into even more testosterone driven foreign policy, even after Iraq. That being a trigger happy cowboy makes the country more secure than a more thoughtful position based on diplomacy (because that's too much like a woman would handle things). And also that she sits there and applauds this sexist pig when he defines feminism as just a bunch of angry women.

What in the world does wrestling with crocodiles have to do with masculinity? He give no example of American men having become more feminine. He also give no example of how that supposed increase in feminine men has harmed the United States. What country is threatening to overtake the United States because it has more masculine men than the United States?

As another poster noted this is just an attempt to provide more cover and support to Chris Christie. We now know what Fox News is going to do to support Christie. It is not that Christie did anything wrong; it is just that America has become such a feminized country.

Testosterone driven foreign policy by trigger happy cowboys! Absolutely brilliant! I couldn't have said it any better myself.

She's a fauxbot and was bemoaning the fact that men aren't men anymore and that women expect them to do women's work around the house. This from the woman that got divorced from her husband partly because he wasn't supportive of her dreams of going back to college and wouldn't help her with their four kids while she went to school and worked. She's never remarried because she says men her age just want women to "wait hand and foot on them." Argh! The cognitive dissonance, it hurts!

Brit Hume's fawning remarks about the "masculine and muscular" Chris Christy. Hahahaha

On the Bill Maher show Mary Matlin Descibes Tucker Carlson as a "Chick Magnet"

MATALIN: Have you ever seen Tucker Carlson's wife? She is hot, hot, hot.

MAHER: Really?

MATALIN: Yes. They are friends of ours, so be careful about what you say. Tucker is a...

MAHER: I'm just reading his quote.

MATALIN: He's a chick magnet.

MAHER: He's a chick magnet. Okay.


If your describing Chris Christy as "masculine and muscular" on one hand, and Tucker Carlson as a "chick magnet" the other, and this is your idea of a non-wimp males, you have serious issues

Tucker Carlson
