Fox’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Is Feminization of America ‘Affecting National Security’?

During a discussion of a more “feminized” American culture on Fox & Friends Friday morning, Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked if the rise of feminism in American society is an issue that could have serious effects on national security and how the U.S. maintains a strong global presence. Nick Adams was on the show to talk about men being wussified not just in the United States, but all over the world, including his country Australia, where “we’ve gone from wrestling with crocodiles to wrestling with lattes.”

He argued that feminism leads to “angry women and feminized men” and that “it’s a very hard time to be a man in American society.” Adams said that when men want to speak up and voice their honest opinions, “they’re sweating more than Paris Hilton doing a crossword.”

Hasselbeck asked, “Do you see this affecting national security––how a nation operates in terms of being a strong presence globally?”

Adams said it does, explaining that “wimps and wussies deliver mediocrity and men win, and what America’s always been about is winning.” He added that people have to fight the trend by educating people “about the importance of being a manly man as opposed to an effete, urbane metrosexual.”
