The joyful Minnesota governor is a valuable spokesperson for Harris whose background and personality can help the Democratic ticket undermine Trumpās efforts to woo Americaās men.
Tim WalzāsĀ first official speechĀ on the Democratic ticket displayed all the reasons thatĀ Kamala HarrisĀ has been lauded for picking the Minnesota governor as her running mate. Personally, I think one outshines all the rest.
Walzās military background and his work as a high school teacher and football coach, along with his palpable joy andĀ open expressions of compassion for people in need, offer America a vision of what manhood can look like ā heās a ājoyful warriorā offering a vision in contrast with whatās being offered by Donald Trumpās bravado-driven campaign.
And heās clearly willing to challenge Team Trump on that front. He displayed that even before he received the call to join Harrisā campaign, using public appearances to refer to Trump and his allies asĀ ābulliesā who are truly weak at heartĀ and by mocking the GOP ticket for ārunning for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.ā
We need more good male role models. People with tender hearts and rough hands.
What do you mean by this? It sounds borderline, if not outright, like toxic masculinity. Thereās nothing about the shape of your hands that has anything to do about how good of a role model you are as a dad.
The idea is not actually about a manās physical hands. Itās a metaphor for putting in the work. That could be volunteering, going to bat for your community, spending quality time with your kids/grandkids/family, working long hours to make sure your family has what it needs to survive, etc.
Yes, some men do manual labor and have rough hands, but OP isnāt saying that all men should do manual labor, just that they should all put in the āworkā to make the world, their community, and their familyās lives better.
Hopefully this is the case, but it sounds an awful lot like āstrong blue collar dad is good, white collar dad badā to me.
Itās how I take it. Sometimes physically but always metaphorically.
Like I bet Steve Wozniak has physically soft hands but he put in the work. Heās just as righteous as a person whose hands are rough from all the physical work they did providing for others.
