Fox News host Jesse Watters has been slammed for trying to be the “arbiter” of masculinity, after his on-air rant about women – and men – filming themselves while at the gym.<\/p>\n
Criticizing Democrat Eric Swalwell on a segment of Fox News’ The Five, Watters denounced men filming themselves in the gym as “try hards”<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the show, Watters<\/a> said, “You know who doesn\u2019t film themselves at the gym? Men. Women film themselves working out. That\u2019s who does it.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n “The only people who do this are professional athletes or fitness influencers. Especially married men, if you’re a married guy and you’re posting bench press videos – oh god. Is that thirsty? He is such a try hard. And every ‘realy guy’ knows a try hard and he’s one.”<\/p>\n A clip from the program has since been shared on X and viewed more than 84,000 times, with 180 comments. Many of these are people point-blank disagreeing with Watters, who was also criticized for his rules on masculinity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One person shared, “Why does this man think HIS rules for everyone need to be verbalized??” Others noted that, within the last week, Fox News<\/a> shared a clip of Secretary of Health and Human Resources Robert F. Kennedy JR. and Secretary of defense Pete Hegseth doing a round of pull-ups and push-ups in a testosterone-filled gym.<\/p>\n One person said, “Didn\u2019t Hegseth, RFK and other MAGA weirdos, film themselves helping each other do pull-ups, a couple of days ago?”<\/p>\n Another commenter said that Watter’s proportions were off, saying that “over 90 percent” of people filming inside a gym are male. Someone else added, “No-lots of weirdos go to the gym to film themselves. It\u2019s annoying”<\/p>\n “I was literally at the gym last week and a dude was filming himself deadlifting,” another chimed in.<\/p>\n DON’T MISS…<\/strong><\/p>\n Superman star fires back at late night hosts for ridiculing his decision to join ICE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
