 I asked former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, what happened? What has made masculinity such a fixation of people like Hawley and Gorka? Those men want to talk about manhood, first and foremost. OK, fair enough. But then she added. But also some people do see what they call the feminization of our young boys, which is don't play with trucks. They'll call them him or her in the classroom. Treat everybody the same. This is a pervasive idea in conservatism right now.
