Sen. Josh Hawley gave a whiny, hate-filled speech at the 2021 National Conservatism Conference yesterday during which he complained about how straight, white, cisgender men like himself are being attacked by left-wing extremists and it has to stop because it’s turning otherwise nice guys into porn addicts!
“They believe that America is a systemically racist, structurally oppressive, hopelessly patriarchal kind of place,” Hawley howled. “The Left want to define traditional masculinity as toxic. They want to define the traditional masculine virtues—things like courage, and independence, and assertiveness—as a danger to society.”
Seriously, what a drama queen. And that’s just the beginning.
Hawley went on to say that, as a result of all this, “American men” (read: straight, white, cis dudes) are “working less, getting married in fewer numbers; they’re fathering fewer children. They are suffering more anxiety and depression. They are engaging in more substance abuse.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Many men in this country are in crisis, and their ranks are swelling!”
Later in the speech, the antigay senator claimed that women, too, are under attack because LGBTQ people are demanding language be inclusive.
“Many of my Democrat colleagues in the Senate won’t even say the word ‘mother’ any more, for heaven’s sake,” he griped. “‘Birthing people’ is the term of choice, as if women don’t exist.”
“And leftwing advocates across the country are trying to destroy women’s sports, as if women and men are somehow interchangeable. All that too is part of the deconstructionist agenda!”
We could go on, but we think you probably get the point by now, so we’ll summarize the rest of Hawley’s speech with bullet point quotes. Here’s a sampling of a few more things he said…
- “This past week the [Biden] Administration celebrated the introduction of an ‘X’ gender marker on American passports. X means neither male nor female, if you’re keeping up.”
- “University curricula abound with seminars on masculinity and its defects.”
- “Even our military academies are in on the act. West Point reportedly held mandatory events last year addressing ‘gender norms,’ including ‘toxic masculinity.'”
- “Boys are increasingly treated like an illness in search of a cure. If boys are too rambunctious, they’re diagnosed with hyperactivity disorder and medicated into submission.”
- “Hollywood delivers the toxic masculinity theme ad nauseum in television and film.”
But the real kicker of Hawley’s speech came towards the end, when he said… Well, maybe it’s best if we let him do the talking.
Remarked Hawley, “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?”

SEN. JOSH HAWLEY (Q-MO.) on “strong and healthy manhood in America:
“We need men who will shoulder responsibility, men who will start and provide for families, men who will enter the covenant of marriage and then honor it.”

Josh Hawley wants you to believe that under no circumstances would a man ever look at porn or play a video game unless someone had criticized their masculinity.

If Josh Hawley is an expert on masculinity then I’d like to take a few minutes to share my thoughts on quantum physics.

Josh Hawley says American men are "watching porn and playing video games because their masculinity is being criticized." Mostly by their parents who keep asking, "Josh, when are you going to move out of our basement, stop picking your nose and get a job?" pic.twitter.com/NSY6sbo2aP

Josh Hawley must be a porn addict and has had his masculinity critized.

There is so much idiocy in what he is saying that I just can’t break it down here in this format.

He sounds more fragile than delicate crystal, and far less appealing, interesting or intelligent. Also, despite claiming to be a Christian it appears he hasn’t really done enough exploring in that religion’s holiest book or paid much attention to the life of Christ, who was anything but a paragon of toxic masculinity. This is on you, GOP, and Missouri, which sent this whiny, pro-treason man-baby to the US Senate.

The very first thing I found terribly wrong with what this douc*bag said was when he mentioned the lack of courage and assertiveness and independence as if only straight cis white men were capable of those attributes. I have know trans-women who have shown more courage just by leaving their homes than this little dribble of pre-cum has ever shown in his spoiled little existence. I have seen disabled children show more independence and more put upon women show more assertavness than him also. HE is a fool and an entitled little rich punk who by the way should be arrested for his involvement in Jan 6 and then we would see him finally serve a purpose that he may be capable of – a jailbirds girlfriend

He’s a traitor who craves political power. He should be under DOJ surveillance, but at least on all right wing watch lists.
Pandering using the language of televangelists and drawing on the deep cesspool of “wedge issues” isn’t anything new for members of his party. Nor is the political tactic of seeking to divide the electorate so that extremists who represent a minority can game the election and sneak into power. The danger nowadays is that once they get in to power, they won’t leave – see Hitler and other authoritarian leaders throughout the world. What if Pence had gone along? Hawley and his kind don’t give a rat’s ass about democracy.
He’s a traitor and he should be vilified and prosecuted for his behavior on January 6, 2021 in the failed Republican coup attempt.
Also, many of the jobs traditionally held by poorly educated men have disappeared from the economy due to digitalization, robotization, and the export of manufacturing jobs (see Republican party). Meth is a scourge throughout the land. With lame politicians like this a*sshole Hawley nothing will get better. Hell in a handbasket….

Honey, you’re from one of the states who are at the top of the list when it comes to PORN VIEWING. When they’re not viewing porn, they’re trying to diddle their sister or in many cases their little brothers.
Phillip
Perhaps after his home is raided by the EFFA-BEE-EYE, they can scan over his huge porno collection and see exactly what he’s into watching. He’d better hope he doesn’t have any ‘under-age’ porn of either sex in his collection. 😉
People like him who have to beat drums as to how macho they are, usually aren’t.
