Tampa Bay Young Republicans celebrate 'intoxicating' masculinity

The invitation for the event was decorated with pictures of assault rifles, a handgun, a hand grenade and a whiskey-rocks glass.



Is it “toxic” masculinity?

No, say the Tampa Bay Young Republicans — it’s “Intoxicating Masculinity.”

That was the name of an event the organization had this week to celebrate masculinity, which in their words is under “a blatant attack and HATRED of masculinity” by “liberals (who think) men being manly as ‘toxic,’” according to the event invitation.

Young Republicans President Jake Hoffman of Tampa, who’s running for a state House seat, said about 200 people attended, about half of them women. The event featured drinks and cigars.

The invitation was decorated with pictures of assault rifles, a handgun, a hand grenade and a whiskey-rocks glass.

They really do take delight with their "in your face" assholery.

Don't fucking ruin whiskey on the rocks for me!

Have your stupid guns and grenades (Okay, not grenades because seriously, DaFUQ?), but don't ruin a nice relaxing pleasure like whiskey on the rocks for me, a sweet, middle-aged, not-crazy, not sexually-frustrated guy.

Do us all a favor, and just you all kill each other and leave the rest of us alone...

And the 100 women were probably just there to get intoxicated.
