In a post on social media Wednesday, Gov. Tim Walz wrote, “I want to talk to all the guys for a second. Think about all the women in your life that you love — daughters, wives, moms, cousins, neighbors. This election is about their lives and protecting their freedoms.”
Actor James Woods responded to Walz’s remarks: “That’s why we are protecting them from you, and your promotion of mentally ill men in their bathrooms… You, the destroyer of their bodies, their dreams, and their futures with mutilation masquerading as ‘gender affirming care.’ You’re a monster, and a dangerous one at that.”
Walz previously signed a law requiring tampons in boys’ school restrooms, which critics argue affirms the idea that boys can menstruate and deepens gender dysphoria in schools. Republicans highlighted this legislation after Harris chose Walz as her running mate, dubbing him “Tampon Tim,” a nickname some Democrats embraced.
Walz’s recent post on X/Twitter appeared aimed at male voters, as the Harris-Walz ticket is seen as less “masculine,” according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey. The poll showed Walz trailing Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, in perceived masculinity. Additionally, a Minnesota Star Tribune survey found that male voters in Minnesota favor the Trump-Vance ticket over Harris-Walz by 53% to 37%.

To appeal to male voters, Walz has promoted a pro-Second Amendment stance on the campaign trail, despite the Harris-Walz ticket’s support for banning semi-automatic rifles. In August, Harris and Walz advocated banning AR-15s and other firearms labeled “assault weapons” by Democrats at their first joint campaign event.
