So, has Tucker tanned his own balls yet?
Ya know Tucker, it is a whole lot easier to go talk to yer doctor and ask for a script for testosterone and swallow a damned pill rather than baking yer nutz .

The real story is that most of Carlson’s younger male fans are incels… involuntarily celebate.
Taking on Carlson’s asshole attitude (and Hawley’s as well), they have zero chance with women. As a result, they masturbate incessantly, which, wonder of wonder, lowers their testosterone levels.
QED
What is meant by incessantly? Until their prostate quivers!

Tucker Carlson’s personal, lifelong masculinity crisis in no way reflects the current state of American males, who prefer not to be associated with Tucker’s neuroses and low testosterone levels.

This is the idea of masculinity of Tucker, hairless chest, short tight pants…and imagine that Tucker is aware that in Classical Greece, women were for reproduction, men were for fun…

I’m finding it very difficult to wrap my mind around Carlson’s questionable bona fides WRT masculinity much less why anyone would take him seriously regarding the subject.
Shorter me: he’s a troll and this is just another gag; finis.

If Fucker Carlson put any higher wattage lamp in his inferiority complex projector, he’s going cause brownouts at Fixed Noise.

My suggestion is to listen to his screechy, cackling laugh just once before you decide whether to bring him on as your expert in masculinity.

He’s so full of it, his eyes are brown.
Someone show me where any of this is true in the real world (rather than the one in his rather vivid imagination). Maybe it’s true for him personally, but the rest of the men? I guess maybe because men can’t freely and irrationally beat their wives anymore is his evidence?

Tradition must be adhered to, no matter how barbaric or inegalitarian it is. If we don’t honor our traditions, all our traditions will have died in vain…

Good piece but the roots of the “White Manly Man Crisis” go father back to the anti-immigrant period of the late 19th century and early 20th century, especially with “hallowed” organizations as the YMCA and the BSA.

Do we need to bring up the bow ties?
ETA: Was just listening to a Fresh Air interview with NYT’s Nick Confessore, who has written a long series on Carlson ( What to Know About Tucker Carlson’s Rise - The New York Times (nytimes.com) ). His take is that Tuckums has a major Mommy issue, stemming from his mother decamping to France when he was a kid. From whence all the rest of his assholery derives (my interpretation).

He seems like a real-life “Mac” who never realized that “Charles Atlas” and the like are/were a bunch of hucksters.
