Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently discussed how Donald Trump affirms insecure men’s idea of masculinity and insecure white folks’ idea of race.
She pointed out that right-wing men often display sexual insecurities and childish behavior, especially towards attractive feminists.
“Donald Trump affirms insecure men’s idea of masculinity,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
Left-wing critics at Salon argued Greg Gutfeld’s recent comments about Ocasio-Cortez reflected such behavior.

Gutfeld argued that Ocasio-Cortez is simply projecting “her own insecurities about her boyfriend’s masculinity.”
“This is why she is so pro-illegal immigration: she is projecting her secret desires for young, virile men who are coming here in droves,” he said.
The perceived toxic masculinity within the MAGA movement has been identified by some as a psychological defense mechanism for men who secretly believe themselves to fall short of masculine ideals.
