British news host Piers Morgan couldn’t stand that James Bond actor Daniel Craig was spotted in New York carrying his weeks-old daughter with wife Rachel Weisz in an “emasculating” front pack.
Oh 007.. not you as well?!!! #papoose #emasculatedBond pic.twitter.com/cqWiCRCFt3

Twitter users wailed.
One tweet urged Morgan to return, for the good of society, back to “1888 where your thoughts on masculinity were formed.”
Morgan tried to explain in a later tweet that 007 should carry his baby in his arms, not in a wussy “papoose.” But anyone who has ever carried a baby during a stroll knows that’s just not practical.
He’s not carrying it, that’s my point. He’s using an emasculating papoose.

James Bond would never use a papoose to carry his babies. https://t.co/6aZZSFUEjy
So someone came up with a more macho alternative for Morgan.
Here is a more manly version of a #papoose for you @piersmorgan pic.twitter.com/pHAMGP7KjZ

Others straight-out skewered Morgan, while lots of dads posted sweet photos of themselves proudly carrying their own babies.
Proud to wear my kid all day every day. If you’re not secure enough in your masculinity to wear your kid, well... there’s something wrong with your idea of what it is to be a man.

Fragile masculinity much?

I'm pretty sure Daniel Craig could kick the crap out of Piers Morgan, even while still carrying his child in the papoose.#GoodDad #Bond #JamesBond #papoose #NotEmasculated https://t.co/D13KKcHvAI

Emasculated? I don’t think I’ll ever feel more of a man than when I’m looking after my children. Dick.

Ahaha, Piers, you flaccid old dick. I’ve seldom been happier in my life than when walking around with my babies strapped to me. What a loss for you that you’re too much of a man to be a dad. pic.twitter.com/PE6V5OrXBn

Daniel Craig is an actor Piers, he isnt "REALLY" James Bond. Also real men carry their own baby. It means we are secure with our own masculinity.

Looks like a hot dad

I see a loving father.

In my experience, women find a man who cares for children to be both masculine and appealing.

Unlike when @piersmorgan goes for a walk in public, and the sound of vaginas slamming shut is deafening.
Heres me with my son. Couldn't be happier to be associated with the likes of James Bond. #DanielCraig #JamesBond pic.twitter.com/u8VKp2sNYD

Alrighty then... I’ll never understand the British sense of humor... Hope you’re well!

did you hit your head or something

Bugger off, Piers, you Gooner Neanderthal. How do you say “asshole” in the Queen’s English?
