Todd Starnes: Liberals Want To Criminalize Masculinity

Fox News radio host Todd Starnes told listeners at the Values Voter Summit (VVS) that mainstream media discussions about “toxic masculinity” are parts of a “war on men” that aims to “criminalize masculinity.”

In his address to VVS, which is hosted by the anti-LGBT Religious Right group Family Research Council, Starnes complained about the Boy Scouts of America’s recent decision to allow young women to participate in the organization.

Starnes said that Mark Hancock, who runs the Christianity based scouting organization Trail Life USA, told him that the Boy Scouts’ decision was “nothing less than a war on boys.” Starnes elaborated on Hancock’s remarks to him, claiming that “the mainstream media” spread the notion of “toxic masculinity.”

“It’s not just a war on boys. It’s a war on men. And there are those in this country that want to feminize men. They want to criminalize masculinity,” Starnes said.

with as much ease as they did fifty years ago.

I know with my daughter, it was impossible to get a group because we all worked. I couldn't be a scout leader. The cub scouts are just looking for a way to consolidate the mission.........for parents.

Democratic men are one hell of a lot more masculine than Republican men. Since they have confidence in their sexuality, they can be macho without violating a woman's space and body. Or they can be gay without hiding it while peeping in men's rooms.

Once sex is related to anything, then is when they want to regulate.

Otherwise, nothing should be regulated no matter how dangerous, how toxic, how costly, only if it relates somehow to sex.

“I saw men, grown men, wadding into the flood waters, running into the bullets to save people,” Starnes said, receiving applause from the crowd. “And I didn’t hear the mainstream media complaining about toxic masculinity then.”


Well asshole, what about the gorwn LGBT woman that saved your body Steve Scalise. What about the woman soldiers that scared Al Qaida because they were living proof that our women could beat their macho asses any day of the damn week?

If I recall correctly, he had been arrested multiple times for spying on female customers in his Detroit nightclub in the bathroom.

whiny little boys just can not handle the concept that their penis does not entitle them to special rights, privileges, and respect over non-penised persons. they don't want to work for it, like everybody else.
