Yesterday was a big day for performatively emotional displays by henpecked men.
00:00:21.300
During the January 6th hearing, one man after another took turns bawling his eyes out,
00:00:27.400
The most grotesque and nauseating spectacles came, as always, from the politicians.
00:00:31.640
Here is Representative Adam Schiff getting choked up for unclear reasons.
00:00:36.420
We deem elections illegitimate merely because they didn't go our way
00:00:44.460
And if we're so driven by bigotry and hate that we attack our fellow citizens as traitors,
00:00:49.380
if they're born in another country or they don't look like us,
00:01:14.160
And Adam, I didn't expect this would be quite so emotional either,
00:01:30.980
See, he timed his emotional breakdown for when he mentioned bigotry.
00:01:34.360
We have to be nicer to people who don't look like us.
00:01:46.880
So he timed it well, but the acting needs a little bit of work.
00:01:54.640
Adam Kinzinger, a Republican, sobbed even louder.
00:01:57.480
It was an inspiring moment of bipartisan emasculation.
00:02:05.100
And thank you to my colleagues on the committee.
00:02:09.800
I never expected a day to be quite as emotional for me as it has been.
00:02:15.300
I've talked to a number of you and gotten to know you.
00:02:19.580
I think it's important to tell you right now, though,
00:02:22.680
you guys may individually feel a little broken.
00:02:27.580
You guys all talk about the effects you have to deal with.
00:02:30.340
And, you know, you talk about the impact of that day.
00:02:41.680
You know, democracies are not defined by our bad days.
00:02:46.980
We're defined by how we come back from bad days.
00:02:56.360
And for all the overheated rhetoric surrounding this committee,
00:03:15.640
Now, it goes without saying that neither of these men have shed any tears,
00:03:18.620
as we discussed earlier, for any of the victims of any of the horrific BLM riots last year.
00:03:22.560
Police officers were bashed over the head with bricks, beat, attacked, berated.
00:03:29.100
A retired police officer was murdered in cold blood and left for dead in the street.
00:03:31.920
Neither of the crying Adams have ever shed any tears for those officers.
00:03:37.420
By the way, that should be a band name, the crying Adams.
00:03:40.840
That's because their tears are fake and manipulative.
00:03:42.980
Fake and manipulative tears from anyone are disgraceful, but from a man, even more so.
00:03:48.440
Even leaving aside the rank dishonesty here, this is also part of a larger problem.
00:03:57.220
The fact that grown men will now cry to get what they want,
00:04:02.600
only shows, again, that masculinity is in a dire state in this culture.
00:04:07.120
There was a time when that sort of display would have been considered embarrassing and weak.
00:04:13.180
But now we're meant to take a man seriously when he cries in front of us,
00:04:37.020
Your bride is walking down the aisle at your wedding.
00:04:39.720
In the latter two cases, a dignified tear or two may be acceptable,
00:04:56.640
before embarking on a three-year voyage to Mars.
00:04:59.720
Maybe you're watching the end of the movie Rudy.
00:05:04.740
the point is that men should comport themselves
00:05:18.100
Yeah, it's possible to go overboard in that direction,
00:05:45.980
Men are encouraged to be women, in other words.
00:06:09.520
They don't want to be doing most of the comforting.
00:06:14.380
so I will allow the ladies to correct me on this point.
00:07:18.600
She's not any great cultural force by any means,
