Jesse Watters Claims Sitting Behind Screen Erodes Masculinity

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked controversy during a segment on 'The Five' by claiming that men who work desk jobs are more feminine, stating, 'When you sit behind a screen all day, it makes you a woman. Studies have shown this.' His comments, which were made in the context of discussing President Trump's tariffs and a supposed 'crisis in masculinity,' drew immediate laughter and criticism from fellow panelists, particularly Jeanine Pirro, who pointed out the hypocrisy of Watters' own desk job. Critics online condemned his remarks as outdated and reflective of personal insecurities, questioning the lack of evidence for his claims. The incident reflects broader discussions on masculinity and employment in America, highlighting tensions between traditional views of masculinity and modern work environments. Watters has been known for his provocative statements, and this latest incident adds to his controversial reputation.
