In just one week, you’ll be able to read all about Josh Hawley’s manhood
By Graham Gremore · 43 comments· Updated on January 26, 2024
Josh Hawley‘s hotly-anticipated manifesto on masculinity is almost here, y’all!
The quick-footed, anti-LGBTQ+ senator’s new book Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs hits shelves next Tuesday.
The 256-page tome, published by Regnery Publishing, “calls on American men to stand up and embrace their God-given responsibility as husbands, fathers, and citizens.”
“Practical, down to earth, and urgent, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs is required reading for every American patriot,” the description reads.
Early reviews have been rather limp and uninspiring.
Martin Pengelly at The Guardian writes that Hawley “dwells at length on pornography and its deleterious influence over modern American men” and blasts guys like social media influencer Andrew Tate, for “sleeping with as many women as possible, berating them, abusing them and celebrating it all as manly, as ‘freedom’.”
Hawley claims that the left is eager to cast “traditional masculine virtues” like courage, independence and assertiveness as “a danger to society.”
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. Of all the disingenuous claims Josh Hawley has made, this is among the most ludicrous.
“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.
First, many men I know are on the contrary working hard to make this world a better place. And to blame all bad-boy behavior on liberal aspersions is the opposite of calling men back to personal responsibility.
It’s also getting dragged on Twitter…
In honor of Josh Hawley (R – Virginia) dropping his manly book of mantastic manhood for men, aimed at insecure boys, we should have a thread highlighting his manliness. I'll start. Here's ubermensch Josh manily shopping for manly wine in the middle of a workday. Like a man. pic.twitter.com/8VmvkSMYlZ

Sprint and get your Josh Hawley "Manhood" book today! He's so excited to tell you all about his manhood. Hope you like short stories. pic.twitter.com/uIWoqixBJi
Josh Hawley had the first stop of his book tour for his soon-to-be-released book on "Manhood" — and this was the warmup act the night before: pic.twitter.com/K4gIGkV67o
To promote the book, Hawley recently spoke at Stronger 2023, one of the biggest conferences for Christian men in America, where he gave a widely-ridiculed speech about a dude’s “purpose” in life.
The Josh Hawley ‘Manhood’ book tour has begun, and I am insanely inspired already. pic.twitter.com/qfqF84djEJ
Despite previous reports that it would not be released in hardcover, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs will be available in hardcover, ebook, and audio format on May 16.
Karen’s other publishing credits include a 1991 letter to the editor of the Indianapolis Star in which she railed against LGBTQ+ people.
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Not surprised that the thin-wristed, fine-boned, insurrection-supporting, and traitorous Senator is obsessed with “manhood” and pornography.
How sad that American politics have sunk this low. Rick Santorum, however misguided, seemed sincere, but Hawley, who is a Stanford and Yale Law graduate, is just a cynical panderer, even worse than Ted Cruz, his fellow Senate pariah.
The sensible people of Missouri should expel him from office as soon as possible.
Uncensored Hardcover – December 17, 2008
by Joe Oppedisano (Author)
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
A bold, masculine, and completely uncensored continuation of the best-selling photography book Testosterone, Joe Oppedisano’s Uncensored is a journey of men and their deepest desires. From straightforward pinup portraits of uninhibited men and their raw sensuality to elaborate fantasies of bondage, sex, and ecstasy, Uncensored delivers the quality you ve come to expect from Oppedisano and amplifies it ten-fold!
Uncensored documents Oppedisano as he bravely steps outside his realm of dark, erotically charged dungeons. Each page is injected with a compellingly tantalizing display of flesh as he embarks upon his mission with a successful mix of masculinity, sexuality, glam and ironic humor amidst stunningly bright locations. Rugged men openly engage in displays of bondage on urban sidewalks while muscular athletes are captured in breathtaking form surrounded by lush landscapes. Through the lens of his camera, Oppedisano opens a new door with Uncensored, which proudly takes audiences both new and old to another level of artistic vision only previously imagined.
Features some of today’s hottest porn stars including Steve Cruz (cover model), Colton Ford, Tober Brandt, Jake Deckard, Erik Rhodes and more.
The thing is: We are a nation desensitized to porn. And the explosion of social media standards. In the 1990s, we took the anoxeric and cutting trends seriously. Now there’s a side that exists that would like to put their heads in the sand. I think about the autistic teens who took on new gender identification in the course of a mere pandemic year as exhibit A.
Not it’s not look over there. I lived it with 25 therapists. Had I had a therapist who affirmed my masculinity (which is viewed as toxic in popular culture), I wouldn’t have spent seven years of my life going down an unnecessary path towards trans medicalization. Josh Hawley ain’t wrong.
@Jared: HBO should make a series about you! I thought “Shrinking” was kind of Boring.
Seriously, what did you personally see as detrimental about social media, in your case? I think most of us are open to the argument that social media tends to put teenage peer pressure on steroids. (As it does with the grumpy grandpas and their RWNJ conspiracy theories.)
Eventually the deranged RIGHT WING GOP TROLLS burn out and fade away into oblivion. They always do. Why they find enjoyment in poking smart, Gay, liberal minded men here is beyond me. But knock yer selves out dudes.
Tho it might be a good thing……….. you all have an outlet to vent your innermost, assinine thoughts. Just don’t go postal in your village green.
Jared here. That’s usually what people say about me. HBO needs to make a documentary about my gender transition horrorshow. Plopped down at an ex-Crip airbnb by a boldface LGBTQ agency in Los Angeles. One therapist told me to rub cocoa butter on my buttocks to release the woman inside. I have a conservative PR consultant. Last year, The Daily Wire wanted coverage. It’s been a journey for sure.
Missouri had a very respectable, smart, liberal Democratic senator, Claire McCaskill; and Josh came along and used the worst of Trump tatics to boot her out of office; campaigning with lies. Claire held her head up high and didn’t stoop to his level and somehow he won. since then he has continued to embarrass those of us who live in Missouri. I don’ wish him any harm but do pray for the day that he’s arrested in a Motel Six with an underage naked teenage boy that he’s tied up and then inflicted the worst horror on that boy anyone could imagine: Josh has forced him to listen as Josh reads his book to him.
Regnery Press is virulently anti-gay. It will publish ANY crap about the LBGT community so long as it contains every lie, distortion and falsehood they can find about us. I’m not surprised the only publisher Hawley could find is Regnery.
Too bad that many of these politicians are easy on the eye but hard on your ear.
Hate paid. Just go ask the Catholic Church and many of the larger and smaller religions.
There was an interesting account in The Daily Mail this week. Gay man. He had a lot of internalized homophobia and felt validated by escaping through a feminine identity on social media. (Oh! This is Jared Northcutt by the way.) What does the LGBTQ+ community propose about addressing this issue? In a perfect world, how would they propose we address the nuances? That’s what the Republicans are exploring. Y’all can keep avoiding the issue or begin to enter the conversation.
The Republicans aren’t exploring. They’re targeting. And we’all aren’t avoiding the issue. We’re disagreeing with you. Either you’re cognitively compromised, or the ‘troll’ accusations are true.
You identify an “article” from a right wing tabloid about a single person and consider that an “issue” that the gays need to address? And are saying the Republicans are “exploring the nuances” of the problem you’ve identified as “internalized homophobia?” What the actual hell are you talking about bro?

Josh Hawley’s manhood is like a thin mist on a very windy day, so no thanks!
ShaverC
But you would still tap that.
woodroad34
The “thin mist” being someone peeing on your leg and saying it’s ‘raining’. That’s what the book will be and probably even something more solid.
DBMC
Now we know what’s in Shaver’s spank bank, we may never sleep again.
Kangol2
Shaves is projecting as usual, but you tap away on Miss Hawley, hunnnnty, and no need to tell us about it!
abfab
“TAP”. How hip, how cool, how last century, how telling. How fuukking bizarre.
dbmcvey
I can’t even with Shaver’s tapping.
baugera
You mean like a fart in a blizzard!
Mary Jane
Thin is always in and he is easy on the eyes but really, what does he have to lose by selling his manhood?
Mary Jane
I absolutely love Matt Friend. Where is his hardcover?

In 20 seconds would be more accurate.

Here’s a good book for you to enjoy, bitch boy.

This headline got me excited. Fake news.

You like that pasty thin lipped bad kisser, huh?
But yeah, Josh Hawley’s manhood is fake.

uh huh ? Josh stop trolling gay sites. It’s not very manly

The right wing troll desperately throwing up word salad to deflect from self hating closet case Republicans putting out books about “Masculinity”? lol

Embarrassing. The “run away guy” writing about manhood.
abfab
He has TWIT written all over his face.
Jim
Josh’s manhood. In his dreams
DBMC
And apparently in Shaver and Jared’s dreams.
Fname Optional Lname
Josh Hawley doesn’t believe he should have to wash his manhood because there are janitors that get paid to do those kinds of things
Matthewnow
Does he swallow?
DBMC
Josh Hawley’s Manhood, it’s a short story.
abfab
A story about SHRINKAGE. More like a pamphlet.
