Julian Zelizer : Since Joe Biden's decision to step aside, the biggest contrast in the race has been between Biden and Kamala Harris .

Zelizer says a disparity of the intragender variety has also come to the fore: the difference between how the men of the right and the left define masculinity.

The new Democratic man is embodied by Harris surrogates like Doug Emhoff , whose first solo public appearance since his wife became the de facto nominee was at Planned Parenthood .

Frida Ghitis: Men in the Democratic Party can comfortably say Pap smear.

She says it's invigorating to see Walz ’s traditional form of public masculinity in service of a party that seems finally to be taking women's rights and liberation as a moral concern.

Ghitis says Walz, 60 , looks like a beardless Santa Claus and has the vibe of a neighbor who will fix your lawn mower.
