This "Man Enough" campaign ad toes the line between reality and satire
· Oct 11, 2024 · NottheBee.com

No, this isn't this week's SNL cold open. It's an actual campaign ad.

Watch:

Satire or reality?

Well, it's sort of both, apparently — a slightly comedic ad on modern leftist masculinity, created by leftist Jacob Reed, who says of his creation,

I think this resonates with people because it's a view of masculinity we see in our lives but is rarely reflected in the media — especially when some of the loudest voices on the subject are the most insecure and bombastic. Our friends, family, and neighbors are complex men. They can change a tire and enjoy a romcom; chug a beer and run to the store to get tampons for their wives and daughters — the strongest men are the most secure in their masculinity. With the rise of role models like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff on the national stage, I think the left is finally finding its footing on how to talk about masculinity — I think we're overdue for a redefinition of what it means to be a man in America and I hope this campaign can start to shape that conversation. Because even though it's more sketch comedy than political ad, what these men are saying is true — except being afraid of bears. A bear will straight-up kill you.

Yeah, uhh, the only males I know who hold these "masculine" attributes are feminine men like Tim Walz.

I mean, look at the guy sitting in the bed of the truck.
