"MASCULINITY IS BACK," Says Gay Liberal Media, In Transparent Attempt to Win Back Male Voters Who Aren't Gay or "Trans"

Via Beege Wellborne: Steve Jobs' widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic announces "MASCULINITY IS BACK," but only for Democrats pretending to be masculine.

Actually-masculine Republican men, those who aren't just pretending as they run for office, are still Toxic and Ick.

Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. "There's nothing wrong with being masculine," Poindexter told me. It's okay, he said, to be "a manly man."
Poindexter's own manliness credentials are fully in order.

Yeah I'm sure to a gay media writer he seems super-manly.

...
Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men.

You can tell this guy is really an advocate for men when he declares there's nothing wrong with the Democrat agenda: They just need to "message" to men better.

The party-wide reckoning that Trump's win spawned has centered in part on why Democrats lost working-class men whose life experiences resemble Poindexter's--and how the party can win them back. In Poindexter's view, Democrats' struggles with men like him owe less to policy than to culture. "It's all vibes," he said.

"Vibes" is something leftwing women like Kamala Harris talk about. Men talk about actual policies and results.

You are kinda gay, dude. You are very effeminate. And you're claiming that the Democrats' Pink Agenda just needs a splash of blue paint to cover it up and it will be "For the Men."

You're not proposing actual changes -- just "bluewashing" the Democrat anti-male agenda.

...
Critiques such as Poindexter's have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats' effort to "win back the manosphere."

Democrat Party operatives call you to pitch you propaganda stories would be helpful to them?

No shit. I never would have guessed.

The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who "are engaging culturally in male spaces"--a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean "manly men," or perhaps "guy's guys," but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party's problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn't describe himself as "engaging culturally in male spaces."

No, the whole idea of "spaces" is, get this, something leftwing women babble about.

In case you weren't already certain enough of it: The piece admits this is all a political con-job by having their "Masculine Manly-Man" declare that the Democrat Party doesn't need any actual ideas from men to support men and in fact nothing in the Democrat Party agenda is anti-male.

It's just perception, man.

Like your sex. It's all a construct.

For the most part, Poindexter and the other men Democrats are running this year aren't offering up any new male-centric ideas. That's not what's needed, Poindexter told me. Within the party's agenda, he said, "I can't think of a single piece of legislation that's bad for men." But, he argued, Democrats have hemorrhaged support from men like him--the ones who sweat more than type for a living--because the party has relegated them to the periphery.

This is the left-wing, extremely feminine idea of "centering." It's not that men are actually being harmed by anti-male policies, this faggot is arguing -- it's just that we don't feel "centered" and "included" in Democrat Party group-photos.

But the propagandist finishes on The Big Takeaway s/he was ordered to really pound home for the masses:

If nothing else, Democrats are embracing their masculinity again, and they'll soon find out whether that's enough to win men back.

Oh yeah, they're so masculine now I can't even take it.

What is really creepy here is how top-down this disgusting leftwing hive mind operates. Their political commissars say "We have to do something to attract some straight men" and within months, all of their media organs are pumping out the same message.

It's like an alien cult. All of their brains are connected by invisible amoeba-tentacles.

Meanwhile, at the New York Times, a woman wonders: Why don't men at my workplace hit on me any longer?

Go On, Date Your Co-Workers
July 6, 2026

This is how they describe the picture running with the article:

A strangely-shaped paper clip reminiscent of Mickey Mouse's head holds down a piece of metal, studded at its sides; a photo, almost like a postage stamp in shape and resting upon the piece of metal, shows two birds fornicating. A brass, more standard paper clip sits upon the metal, as does, above and off the metal, another. The birds are blue and yellow, the hazy background green fading into orange. All is a metaphor for corporate drudgery interrupted by the subtle eroticism of nature.

Karens are lonely and horny and so they're announcing that men should brave lawsuits and #cancellation to f*** them again.

Don't bother, they're bad at sex. They're bad at pretty much everything.

Last year I developed an office crush. My friends warned me against doing anything about it, typically using a crude metaphor about keeping your eating space clean. Dating people you work with just seems like too much trouble these days. It's not that people aren't attracted to Jack in client relations with the smile lines and overzealous David Lynch obsession; it's that it feels as if the risk outweighs the reward.
But a return to office romance could be the solution to the sense many people have that modern dating is broken. Dating apps ask us to consider potential romantic partners not as full human beings with a caffeine addiction and tension-defusing sense of humor but as a set of optimized digital parameters.
Only 16 percent of U.S. workers went on a date with a colleague last year, down from about 40 percent in 2009.

Gee, why do you think that is, NYT? Can you offer any kind of explanation?

Maybe something to do with a all-consuming moral panic you stoked and profited from?

Workplace crushes -- a surefire way to inject excitement into office mundanity -- have waned, too, with the share of workers reporting one collapsing from 49 percent in 2024 to just 22 percent in 2025, according to a human resources industry group survey. The decline has been decades in the making. While about one-fifth of adults over 50 said they met their partners at work, just 13 percent of those 18 to 29 said the same.
Of course, workplace romance was always fraught, with its legacy of predatory bosses, favoritism and, when things went wrong, career retaliation. Years of sexual harassment training and more watchful human resources departments taught us not to go there. (About a quarter of workers now fear harassment allegations, one industry survey found.)
But where else in adulthood except the office would you bond with a potential paramour you share so much of everyday life with?

Below, the Masculine Manly-Man running for office as a Democrat that The Atlantic is ordering its readers to get behind.

I’m Brian Poindexter - I’m a union ironworker, and I’m running for Congress because working people's lives keep getting harder and harder while billionaires keep getting richer and richer.

Posted by: Community Notes at July 15, 2026 05:39 PM (PVBkQ)

'Becky' was 'basic' -- which is to say, exhibiting White culture. It was aimed at young and single women, who could be made to feel self-conscious and insecure.

'Karen' was assertive, wanting to speak to your manager. It was aimed at soccer moms and middle-aged women, those with the confidence to stick up for themselves, to flip it on them and use it against them.

30 I'm trying to recall if I ever went on a date with a co-worker. Maybe at my first job, ca. 1974. Girls in high school and college, sure. But not at the radio stations where I worked, not at the courier company (all the women played for their own team), not in the computer field, and not at the university where I last worked.

Too much risk for too little payoff.

81 Masculinity never left. We just made things so SAFE that the Left and many Women decided that we were unneeded, and could be ignored.

But things are getting unsafe again, so suddenly they will notice us, and welcome us... right up until we make things overly safe once again.

This same pattern has happened time and again throughout history... just now it has a very Political outlook to it...

169 The Atlantic: Democrats became great by fighting the Left. In the DSA era, liberals need to remember their history and fight for their values. By David Brooks.

What's up with The Atlantic? Has anybody noticed the aggressive PR war the magazine has launched againt the DSA in the last month? - specifically after the recent DSA wins?

I’ve been convinced The Atlantic has consistently been on the conservative end of the Democratic Party. The New York Times isn’t much better.

David Brooks? The David Brooks who once described himself as a "recovering conservative?" Who laundered the Iraq War and defended torture.

David Brooks is truly a professional wrongman. It's remarkable that, for every claim he makes, the opposite is true. That's honestly impressive to be for 0-2854 on takes.

The Atlantic is controlled opposition. They have always been a shit rag.

People want the DSA. Get with it or get out of the way.

They wrote so many hit pieces on Graham Platner. Like one every other day. It seemed excessive at the time. So I guess now they’re taking a victory lap?

172 I've been narrating this crap for a year. It's more than transparent and they will use any and every trick in the book to "win" and subsequently destroy masculinity.

Weird how the shit I always talk about that I'm certain sounds insane, ends up just being the world we live in 6, 12 and 18 months later.

Yes - one can argue that everyone saw this coming and that Democrats will spin any story and eventually stumble on one you thought they might do - but I have literally explained what they are doing each week here as it has happened. The "toxic" men are absolutely part of the push.

Posted by: Billythesquid at July 15, 2026 07:11 PM (gN+5I)

I met DH when I was his boss. I was an architect, he was a draftsman. I fixed him up with my upstairs neighbor. After they went on a date, she asked me why we two were not together. I said don't shit where you eat.

A month later I took a different job. A year later we were married.

I still think office romance is a bad idea, mostly for the woman, who will forever be known as the whore. But it may be worth changing jobs for. We've only been married 28 years so far.

187 These coordinated media/politics "frames" and "narratives" are so transparent now that literally no one is foled, and no one cares.

For decades the Let had great success with coordinated messaging, especially pre-Internet when it was harder to get alternative info. Teh arrival ofn theinternet broke their "narrative monopolky," but also provioded them with many more tools to brainwadha nd trick the public.

The left has by niowngotten tos used to being able toncome out with some "frame" or "talking" point" that suddenly apears "everywhere" simultaneously that they just assume it will work.

But they overdid it so many times, and proposed such insulting and patently false narratves with ever i creasing fequency that they burned through any credibility they might have had with the piublic.

Now, the avergae person sees these kind of gimmicks, and rolls their eues and says, "Democrats are masculine?Don't make me laugh." And clicks onto the next topic.
