Jesse Watters Offers Mind-Numbing New Claim About Masculinity—And Is Instantly Dragged

Problematic Fox News MAGA pundit Jesse Watters has made another bizarre claim about masculinity.

Having already taken exception with eating ice cream, drinking milkshakes, and taking bubble baths, Watters is now targeting tech jobs.

In Monday's episode of Fox News The Five, the group discussed whether Republican President Donald Trump's tariffs will make men in the United States more masculine. A clip of a self-described MAGA author was played where the woman claimed Trump’s tariffs will reverse a crisis of masculinity by bringing back jobs requiring brawny men.

Host Greg Gutfeld set up the premise by asking:

"Could Trump's tariffs be the ultimate testosterone boost?"

After comments by panelists Harold Ford Jr. and Jeanine Pirro, Gutfeld said to Watters:

"Jesse, you said in the green room, the crisis in masculinity began with the first male flight attendant. Can you elaborate?"

Watters then stated manual labor makes you masculine while computer-based jobs make you a woman.

You can see the moment here:

Watters said:

"When you sit behind a screen all day, it makes you a woman. Studies have shown this. Studies have shown this."

"And if you're out working... you are around other guys. You're not around HR ladies and lawyers that gives you estrogen."

Watters didn't provide any information about the studies he claimed prove his point about men transforming into women because they work in a tech job. Certain species of amphibians and fish can spontaneously change their sex, but humans cannot.

His fellow panelists openly laughed at Watters ridiculous claim.

Pirro asked Watters:

"What do you do? What do you do?"

Watters told her to let him finish, but Pirro responded:

"You sit behind a screen."

So according to Watters, he's now a woman and studies prove it.

People online dragged Watters for another in a long line of bizarre claims.

Watters is seemingly obsessed with masculinity, having previously said on The Five that he has "rules for men."

His rules included not eating soup in public, not crossing their legs, not drinking with a straw because it's "effeminate," and waving with only one hand. At the time, the public labeled Watters as insecure.
