For weeks now, musician Harry Styles has received backlash over his pastoral Vogue cover shoot.
Most notably, right-wing pundit Candace Owens said it’s time to “bring back manly men.”
There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence.
It is an outright attack.Bring back manly men. https://t.co/sY4IJF7VkK

“There is no society that can survive without strong men,” Owens tweeted. “The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminisation of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.”
On December 2, Styles borrowed that last line — “Bring back manly men” — for his own new caption:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

I have zero attraction to cross dressing males so this Vogue would get tossed into the fireplace upon delivery. Good advertising plot tho. Gotta give him that. He probably hated doing the shoot, short the dollars.

Thanks for nothing— a specialist in everything and an expert in nothing

Nobody cares what you’re attracted to.

Ooh stop. The sun, moon, and stars revolving around you temporarily blinded me.

Not everything in the world is about you, Josh. Some people like to look outside the box society tried to put them in, and aren’t doing it to get YOUR attention.
Josh447
Oh dear Gaaawd the guy’s just out for clicks.
Now think positive. From my viewpoint there’s more boys in dresses for YOU. Whatever gets you goin go for it!

Josh stays shading non gender conformity as well as effeminate males, but he always talks about how he doesn’t care what people do. He’s one of those supposedly “open-minded” people who still gets irritated and dismissive when folks don’t align with how he sees the world and sees people.
Harry may or may not be doing it for attention. But if society didn’t make such a big deal about that shit there would be no attention to get. Male performers have been rocking “women’s clothes for decades. And males in general have been rocking all types of clothes for hundreds of year.

Why act like Candace Owens is a relevant person to respond to? She is a grifter who is taking money to be used to give cover to racist Republicans.

Exactly!

Oh, the burn.

Oh Candice! “Strong men” don’t shriek at the thought of being soft and fun and genderful.

Marxism is being taught to our children? Right under Betsy DeVos’s nose? I’m outraged!
DhammaKamala
Haha! Right! Tell me again who’s in charge of education – at least until January 20, 2021. All the right can do is fearmonger about the left being Marxist, or Socialist, or Communist. I wish they’d pick one and stick with it.

So she’s saying she prefers leather daddies? Bears?

Candace Owens needs to stop worrying about Harry Styles wearing a dress. Yes worry about Marxism but don’t worry about how someone dresses. I think Harry looked really great in his dress.
PhillyProud
As if toxic masculinity isn’t bad enough, but a woman wanting to bring it back? Phyllis Schlafley much?
Doug
Owens is yet another female who believes her gender is weaker and inferior to men.
I think this makes Styles even hotter.

her stupidity has most likely resulted in wider coverage of this photo than would have been the case if she’d kept her thoughts to herself.

Why is Candace Owens so worked up about Harry Styles? Doesn’t she have her own White British husband? She should focus on her own man first before spewing sexist and genderist BS about Styles.
