Time Apparently Thinks Being Rich Is Toxic Masculinity – Which Is Insane

Time recently ran a insane piece about President Trump and how he must be stopped from spreading toxic masculinity.

The piece is titled, “How to Keep Donald Trump from Spreading His Toxic Masculinity to Future Generations,” and is written by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who is the wife of California Lt. Governor and gun control fanboy Gavin Newsom.

She wrote in part:

Sure, it’s normal as a teenager to think mostly about yourself. But that is why these boys need a role model to ask them to think beyond themselves. These boys need a role model to tell them it’s not all just about them, that they’re required to think about the greater good, that perhaps they must sacrifice their own ease to make way for someone who has had it harder. They need a role model to point out all the ways they have been lucky, and that it’s their duty given their privilege to work hard to make the world a fairer, more equitable place. They need a role model to tell them that being a good man means being kind and compassionate, empathic and caring, giving and loving.

Instead, they have a man who tells them success is determined by the size of your yacht and the length of your vacation in the South of France, deriding “some of these guys that never made 10 cents.” Instead, they have a man who uses a public stage to threaten his colleagues that they better do his bidding or he’ll say “you’re fired.” Instead, they have Trump.

Well, we finally did it America. We finally crossed the line into complete insanity. Guess what Jenn, money is a pretty solid indication of success. Is it the only indicator? Of course not. Having a wonderful family, making a difference in the lives of people and many other things can all be great measurements of success.

However, I’ve never once known a guy who owned a bunch of land and wasn’t a success, at least in respect to his finances. See, this is becoming a major problem in America. We’re being told that if you do fun things you’re part of this “toxic masculinity.”

Here’s a quick reality check for everybody: men like fast cars, big trucks, boats, beer, gambling, sports, hot women, guns, cabins, hunting, fishing, big houses and owning lots of land. If liking those things makes me part of “toxic masculinity” then I couldn’t be prouder to be spreading toxic masculinity. I’d love to shower people with toxic masculinity if that’s the case.

There used to be a time in America where we celebrated success, and we were told if we worked hard and were smart enough that we could have our own countryside estate. Imagine how miserable this country would be if we told people to look at losers with nothing to show for anything and told children to emulate them?

If you think the things I listed earlier are part of toxic masculinity then I want absolutely nothing to do with you. In fact, it’d be nice if you just left the country because people who hate everything awesome about America probably shouldn’t be voting in our elections.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
