Fox Host: Boy Scouts Ban On Water Guns Is ‘Emasculating’ Future CIA Agents

A Fox News co-host said on Wednesday that a Boy Scouts ban on water guns and limitation on the size of water balloons was proof that boys were being emasculated.

“Outnumbered” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to former MTV "Real World" star and current Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI), said the ban would have an effect on future generations of America's spies and soldiers.

“If we keep emasculating our boys and not letting boys be boys,” Campos-Duffy said, “how are we gonna raise the next generation of hardcore CIA operatives, Navy SEALS?”

“That was a very nice, unloaded question,” former CIA officer and "One Lucky Guy," Mike Baker said.

Baker ultimately agreed with Campos-Duffy.

is enough to emasculate somebody, then that person might not have had a very masculine personality to begin with. Just a thought.
