Jesse Watters cited research while claiming that a desk job “makes you a woman.” It was a take so dizzy that “The Five” cohost Jeanine Pirro pushed back.
The Fox News panelists on Monday were debating a MAGA author’s claim that President Donald Trump’s tariffs will reverse a crisis of masculinity in the U.S. by bringing back jobs requiring brawn.
Watters, whose comments on gender are annoyingly frequent, weighed in.
“When you sit behind a screen all day, it makes you a woman,” he said. “Studies have shown this,” he continued as one of the panelists cackled. “Studies have shown this!”
“If you’re out working … you are around other guys; you’re not around HR ladies and lawyers. That gives you estrogen,” he said.
“You sit behind a screen,” Pirro snapped with the hypocrisy dagger.
In recent lectures on masculinity, Watters instructed men on how they should wave and belittled those who grocery shop with their wives.
And, fellas, don’t get him started on licking ice cream in public.
Watters’ latest blather fired up dissenters on X:
If BETA’s had a mascot it would be that guy 😂
