Harry Styles just made history. He is the first man to ever appear solo on a cover of Vogue. Not only that, but he also chose to wear a Gucci jacket with a dress as part of his outfit for the photoshoot.
Fans could not help but go gaga over his new achievement and look. They applauded the singer for taking the step to redefine ‘masculinity.’
However, there were people like New York Times best-selling author, Candace Owens, who chose to criticize the look
“There is no society that can survive without strong men,” Candace said on Twitter. “The East knows this. 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.”

Some Twitter users agreed with Candace. However, an overwhelming majority of fans and other stars quickly came to Harry Styles’ defense. They called Candace out on her negative comments.
Olivia Wilde, the director for Harry’s upcoming movie, Don’t Worry Darling, clapped back as well. She said, “You’re pathetic” while Kathy Griffin warned Owens that there is nobody stronger than Harry’s fans. “Candy Owens doesn’t know what she in for going up against the Harry Styles stans,” she said.

More Stars Stick Up For Harry Styles
Another one of Harry’s admirers, Jameela Jamil also rose to his defense. She wrote on Twitter, “Harry Styles is plenty manly, because manly is whatever you want it to be, not what some insecure, toxic, woman-hating, homophobic d–kheads decided it was hundreds of years ago. He’s 104% perfect. Also…he looked fit as f–k.”

Moreover, Zach Braff added, “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.”

However, as people continue to stand up for the singer, Candace shows no sign of backing down.
On November 16th, she had another message for her followers about the Harry-Vogue situation.
“Since I’m trending I’d like to clarify what I meant when I said ‘bring back manly men,'” she began. “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.”
