As the corporate media continues its shameless propaganda campaign to rebrand Kamala Harris, the Washington Post is now claiming that the Democrat presidential candidate’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “modern female fantasy.”
Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell opens up her puff piece by declaring: “Move over, Ryan Gosling.”
Rampell continues by arguing that the so-called “second gentleman” is the type of “progressive sex symbol” that most modern American women want.
“Move over, Ryan Gosling,” the article begins.
“The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman.”
Since Minnesota’s radical Democrat Gov. Tim Walz joined the 2024 Democratic ticket as Harris’s running mate, the media has begun to promote the low-testosterone beta male image.
Media figures and Harris supporters have argued that Walz and Emhoff embrace a more low-T cuck version of “masculinity” that men should aspire to.
Emhoff left his prestigious law career behind to support Vice President Harris after the 2020 presidential race.
In doing so, Emhoff showed he was the kind of “fantasy man” women dream about, according to the Post.
“Emhoff appears to be a genuine mensch with an impressive career,” she continued.
“He’s smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions, as is obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail.
“But most important for this sexy sobriquet: Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
“What. A. Hunk,” the “journalist” added.
Rampell dismissed questions about Emhoff’s role model husband status after he recently admitted to an extramarital affair that ended his first marriage.
Emhoff’s affair was exposed when he impregnated his young daughter’s nanny.
However, the media has been suspiciously quiet about the scandal.
“Whatever his previous marital drama, that makes him the working woman’s ideal partner today,” the columnist continued her argument as she brushed off the affair.
“He loves his job, but he loves his wife more.
“He knows that ‘supporting’ one’s family is about more than financial support, and that temporarily setting aside his own professional ego makes him no less of a man.”
The columnist argued that the Democrats’ version of masculinity stands in sharp contrast to the Republicans’ version of manliness.
The article continues by arguing that most women fantasize about having a weak “wife guy” for a “husband.”
“Women at least want a mate who won’t resent their career success — a tangible concern, given that divorce has been statistically more likely when women received job promotions or outearn their husbands.
“Hence, the Emhoffian ‘wife guy’ fantasy.
“Which, needless to say, sharply contrasts with conservatives’ portrayal of manliness,” she argued.
“Instead of helping men appreciate how they fit into their evolving families and communities today, Trump offers sexist name-calling and weaponized nostalgia.
“‘Make America Great Again’ means returning to a 1950s-era economy, with its attendant gender (and racial) roles,” she scolded.
What women actually want is “to be valued and supported as much as they deserve,” by their husbands in private and public, she wrote.
“On that score, Emhoff looks like a dreamboat.”
Rampell isn’t the only media figure making this case.
As Slay News reported, CNN anchor Dana Bash recently said that Democrats are trying to appeal to men who might not be as masculine as their Republican counterparts.
“But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that,” she said.
ESPN analyst Mina Kimes also praised Walz’s “different kind of masculinity” in comments last week.
“We’re kind of seeing it in the NFL with the Kelces, and Dan Campbell – this idea that ‘big, tough football guy’ isn’t separate from showing emotion and empathy,” Kimes said on Pablo Torre’s podcast.
“Yes, they’re calling him ‘coach’ and whatnot, but in the same breath, they are emphasizing, ‘this man, the year he was a football coach, also ran the gay-straight alliance at the high school.’
“That’s really powerful in a way that goes far beyond politics and electability, which is the discussion we’re having.
“There are very few models like that in American public life.”
