Religious Right activist Dave Daubenmire has been anything but shy about criticizing the male students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, for not acting like "real men" and tackling a shooter who opened fire on the school last week with an assault rifle, killing 12 students and five faculty members.
Daubenmire returned to this theme on his "Pass The Salt Live" webcast this morning, fuming that male students today are not being taught the virtues and responsibilities of masculinity.
"This will sound horrible, but I have to say it," Daubenmire stated. "Instead of the aftermath of these shootings in Florida being, 'Hey, dude,' where young guys are saying to each other, 'I'm gonna learn to fire a gun, I ain't ever gonna let this happen again, I'm gonna learn to fire a gun,' instead the reaction is, 'Oh, please take the guns away.' The exact opposite message! Meet power with power! That's manhood, masculinity!
"We don't even teach it, we have no concept of it," Daubenmire lamented, adding that "guys like us who really get it" are ridiculed by people like Howard Stern and organizations like Right Wing Watch.
"Most guys don't have the stones to stand up and say, 'I don't care what you say!'" Daubenmire screamed. "'It don't bother me! Here's what I think! Suck on that one, bud!'"
After Daubenmire fumed that the fear of offending others is "so womanly," one of the participants in the livestream piped up to share his theory that most men today display a lack masculinity because "they just want to sleep with the women."
"Boys, your life would be a lot easier if you'd quit letting your peter rule your life," stated Daubenmire. "I shouldn't have said that either, and I'm not sorry."
