Harry Styles made history on Friday (Nov. 13) as the first solo man to grace the cover of Vogue. As if Harry were the first man to gender bend (HELLO DAVID BOWIE 50 YEARS AGO), for some reason a few right wingers are bent out of shape over Harry’s feminine fashion choices.
“There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence,” conservative commentator Candace Owens wrote while retweeting the photo shoot. “It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.” LOL CALM DOWN GIRL. But if she did that, Owens wouldn’t receive the attention she seems to crave.

And hey, why not conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. He must be jealous that Candace is trending.
This is perfectly obvious. Anyone who pretends that it is not a referendum on masculinity for men to don floofy dresses is treating you as a full-on idiot. https://t.co/cioUNBh4bi

The Left knows this; they openly say that gender is both important and socially constructed (which is why they tell you that a man can be a woman, e.g., despite no biological underpinning).

Harry is trending at No 2 on Twitter. Fans, famous and not, are coming to his defense, while dunking on Owens and Shapiro.

fun fact: the strongest men are the ones willing to break gender stereotypes. and society relies on woman just as much as it relies on men. personally, i think we’re doing pretty good thankyou Candace Owens. all hail King Harry Styles??? pic.twitter.com/GAQwTS4Dxw

I said it about Kurt as a teen and I’ll say it about Harry Styles as a middle-aged-woman: men in dresses aren’t the problem. Men in bad cargo shorts are. pic.twitter.com/cqJgfdfk0P

Folks mad at Harry Styles about to get BIG mad when they realize the "founding fathers" wore heels, wigs, and long robes.

So, in today's edition of "People Are Really Pissed" some folks can't wrap their minds around Harry Styles simply wearing a dress.
Oh honey, it's just fabric! People are dying in the world and these folks are mad about fabric. Jesus be an almighty wall.

This is pretty much my take on the controversy: “Can’t decide if it’s a good or bad sign that today’s Twitter Controversy is completely manufactured right-wing outrage bait.”
Possibly both?

Here are a few photos of Harry from his Vogue issue. The outfits are fun. The people criticizing Harry might want to lighten up. Owens and Shapiro: Probably NOT very fun at parties.
