Jesse Watters Slammed for Bizarre “5 Rules for Men” Live on Fox News!
Jesse Watters has been widely ridiculed after listing his five “rules for men,” – a list that includes no milkshakes and no soup.
The Fox News host was responding to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s claim on Gavin Newsom’s podcast that MG focused on his m@scul1nity “obsessively” during the 2024 presidential election.
“I have rules for men,” Watters began on Wednesday’sThe Five. “They’re just funny, they’re not that serious. Like, you don’t eat soup in public. You don’t cross your legs. And you don’t drink from a straw. And one of the reasons you don’t drink from a straw is the way your lips purse. It’s very effeminate.”
Referring to Walz, he said: “His excuse was, ‘well I was drinking a milkshake.’ Again, you shouldn’t be drinking a milkshake. Milkshakes are for kids.”
Watters also claimed that real men “don’t wave simultaneously with two hands.”
“We wave with one hand, not both hands at the same time,” he said.

Jesse Watters set out his list of rules for ‘real mean’ on Fox News show The Five. The list, prompted by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, includes no drinking from a straw and no eating soup in public.

Viewers made fun of Watters on social media and a photo of the MG host drinking from a straw also resurfaced. Others suggested that his list for men represented a deeper “insecurity” within the Fox presenter.
“The insecurity LMAO,” one person commented on X. “Just drink the milkshake, Jesse. Nobody cares.”
“Watters’ m@scul1nity is so fragile, even a milkshake threatens it. Maybe he should focus less on straws and more on growing a spine,” another added.
“Can Watters be any more insecure?” a poster asked on X. “If I want a god**** milkshake, I’m buying a milkshake.”
Others also shared a photo of President Donald Trp, who Watters often backs, drinking from a straw in 2016.

Watters was triggered after Walz appeared on theThis is Gavin Newsom podcast his week, where he claimed that MG voters are “scared” of his m@scul1nity.
“No, I’m serious, because they know I can fix a truck, they know I’m not bull****ing on this,” Walz told Newsom, who laughed initially.
“It just baffled me how much time they spent trying to attack me, that I was not masculine enough in their vision,” Walz added.
The former Democratic vice presidential candidate was often attacked by Watters during the election campaign.
Watters was outraged when Walz had a milkshake at a campaign stop in September and railed about it on his show.
“Women love m@scul1nity, and women do not love Tim Walz, so that should just tell you about how masculine Tim Walz is. The other day you saw him with a vanilla ice cream shake. Had a straw in it,” Watters said. “Again, that tells you everything.”
