Apparently soup is for women….?

*Sigh* The last time we spoke about Fox News host Jesse Watters, he criticized former president Barack Obama for not convincing “his wife she has to do her duty and attend [Donald Trump’s] inauguration.” You know, as if Barack controls Michelle Obama.

Well, a clip of him is circulating once again as he shared several rules he believes men must follow.

During a segment of Fox News’s The Five, the hosts challenged Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s recent comments on the public response he received during the 2024 presidential election.

On the This Is Gavin Newsom podcast, Walz previously said that he may have been a “scare” to MAGA because he was not “masculine enough in their vision.”

“It just baffled me how much time they spent trying to attack me, that I was not masculine enough in their vision,” Walz said. “They focused on it obsessively, which I think again is their obsession, their weirdness.”

Responding to Walz’s words, Watters said that “real men don’t talk about how masculine they are,” before continuing, “I know a lot of tough guys… I have rules for men.”

Then he listed them: “You don’t eat soup in public.”

“You don’t cross your legs,” Watters continued.

“And you don’t drink from a straw, and one of the reasons you don’t drink from a straw is because the way your lips purse. It’s very effeminate.”

And finally, “You shouldn’t be drinking a milkshake. Milkshakes are for kids.”

The arguably bizarre list spread online as a clip of Watters’s rattling amassed nearly 16 million views and thousands of comments online. Here’s how people are reacting:
