JD Vance went on to tell the audience that they should not let this "broken culture" define them for enjoying simple pleasures like telling jokes, having a beer with friends, or being competitive. The crowd responded with audible praise, signaling their support for Vance's remarked, according to Mediaite.

"I think that our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge. You should you should try to cast aside your family. You should try to suppress what makes you a young man in the first place," Vance said.

He added, "And I think that my message to young men is don’t allow this broken culture to send you a message that you’re a bad person because you’re a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends or because you’re competitive."

The vice president's remarks were not limited to just men, as he continued to express his dissatisfaction with the broader cultural message. Vance argued that the prevailing culture seeks to turn everyone—regardless of gender—into "androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same and act the same".

"The cultural message — and I think the president’s and mine is the exact opposite –but our cultural message is I think that it wants to turn everybody in, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same and act the same," Vance remarked.

He concluded his criticism by emphasizing his belief in the natural distinctions between men and women, highlighting the importance of thriving in their respective roles.

He went on to say, "We actually think God made male and female for a purpose. And we want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women. And we’re going to help with our public policy to make it possible to do that."
