Candace Owens is “Not Sorry” for Trashing Harry Styles for Wearing a Dress

Conservative author Candace Owens won’t apologize for her scathing critique of singer Harry Styles for sporting an effeminate look on the cover of Vogue magazine.

Here are all the ways Owens and her liberal critics clashed on social media:

Just Vogue

Styles made history as the first solo man to appear on the cover of American Vogue, but appeared in less than manly fashion when he wore a designer ball gown.

Candace Comments

Owens was less than impressed with his look. “There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this,” she tweeted Saturday. “In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.”

It is an outright attack.

Bring back manly men. https://t.co/sY4IJF7VkK

Harry’s Fans

Owens endured an onslaught of comments from fans defending the musician. When one sent her a collage of other rocker’s in dresses, she replied: “I’m impervious to woke culture. Showing me 50 examples of something won’t make it any less stupid.”

PSA: Mining pictures on the internet of men in dresses is not going to suddenly make me attracted to men in dresses.

I’m impervious to woke culture. Showing me 50 examples of something won’t make it any less stupid.#BringBackManlyMen https://t.co/7NKrrGiZSf

Since I’m trending I’d like to clarify what I meant when I said “bring back manly men”.

I meant: Bring back manly men.

Terms like “toxic masculinity”, were created by toxic females.

Real women don’t do fake feminism.

Sorry I’m not sorry.

DEFCON 1

After blogger Matt Walsh commented that “a bunch of whiney idiots are mad she said men who wear dresses aren’t manly,” Owens replied: “Wait until they find out that I also think women should be feminine— and I enjoy cooking for and taking care of my husband. DEFCON 1.”

Celebrities React

Hollywood stars rushed to defend Styles’… Style. Lord of the Rings Elijah Wood told Owens, “I think you’ve missed the definition of what a man is. masculinity alone does not make a man, in fact it’s got nothing to do with it.”

in fact, it’s got nothing to do with it

Frodo

Owens clapped back with a hilarious reply: “DON’T TEMPT ME, FRODO!!!”

Sorry. One of my favorite movies.

Jameela Jamil

The Good Place actress, who is also a fellow Brit, commented that Styles is “plenty manly” and “104% perfect.”

Harry Styles is plenty manly, because manly is whatever you want it to be, not what some insecure, toxic, woman-hating, homophobic dickheads decided it was hundreds of years ago. He’s 104% perfect. ??

Wigging Out

In a follow-up tweet, she posted an image of actor Nicholas Holt in a period wig on the set of 2018’s The Favourite. “Also… this was at one time considered very manly, she wrote. “Wigs, make up, tights, frills… maybe this is the comeback of the “manly man.””

Scrubs star Zach Braff retorted: “Our whole lives boys and men are told we need to be manly. Life is short. Be whatever the f–k you want to be.”
