Record Yahoo Video with a Screen Recorder.If it does, I’ll acknowledge that he’s at least trying to be part of the solution. I hope that the senator’s new book speaks manfully about the domestic and sexual violence that’s the ultimate show of weakness, and a lot bigger worry than some wounding words from libs. But some mostly male-perpetrated violent crimes - rape, for example, and homicide, which is both surging and committed by men in 90% of cases around the world - certainly are. Men themselves are not the problem, lazy, suggestible and oafish as Hawley makes them sound. “Can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness, and pornography, and video games?” he asks.įirst, many men I know are on the contrary working hard to make this world a better place.Īnd to blame all bad-boy behavior on liberal aspersions is the opposite of calling men back to personal responsibility. ![]() Of all the disingenuous claims Josh Hawley has made, this is among the most ludicrous. They are? Examples, please, of anyone, anywhere, speaking out against any of these attributes, which aren’t only masculine, by the way, and are prized across the ideological spectrum. Hawley claims that the left is eager to cast “traditional masculine virtues” like courage, independence and assertiveness as “a danger to society.” While suicide rates are still far higher among men, the increases there, too, are greatest among middle-aged women. He’s also correct that American men are “suffering more anxiety and depression, they’re engaging in more substance abuse,” though the greatest recent increase in alcohol abuse has been among women, and the idea that mental illness and addiction are the handiwork of progressive meanies is just silly. Porn really is degrading and problematic, even though someone who never calls out or publicly distances himself from our porn-star-paying former president might not be the ideal messenger on that point. We’ve got to say that spending your time on video games, spending your time watching porn online … is not good for you, your family or this country.” Not only conservatives think that. “As conservatives,” he’s said, “we’ve got to call men back to responsibility. Remember, no one loves your drolleries at Josh Hawley’s expense more than Josh Hawley does.Īnd brace yourself, but some of what he’s written in the book, at least based on what he’s said about it in interviews, happens to be true. “Josh Hawley Is Writing to Remind You He’s Not a Total Pussy: The scurrying senator from the Show-Me State has a big, manly-man book in the works.” “ Mob-Fleeing Dweeb Josh Hawley Is Writing a Book Called ‘Manhood’ ” Some headlines about the book, which comes out on May 16: “ Manly Dude Josh Hawley To Release Book On ‘Manhood.’” That’s still happening, of course, and it’s still indefensible. Which did not, however, make it OK to respond to his “steak tartare speech about the left’s supposed War on Men by questioning his sexuality.” Men are so fragile, he argued, that a harsh word can turn them into layabouts and porn addicts. I wrote then that Hawley’s speech on this topic “was his usual all-you-can-eat buffet of victimhood. Katie Hill, “like anyone thinks Josh Hawley is masculine.” “That would be totally wrong for the champion of American masculinity. “I hope no one photoshops Josh Hawley in drag makeup,” tweeted former GOP consultant Rick Wilson. “Josh Hawley kisses his wife like his parents are making him eat broccoli for the first time,” tweeted writer and producer Chase Mitchell. Josh Hawley first pitched the themes of his upcoming book about manhood 18 months ago, the response was not just merciless but at least arguably homophobic.
