Josh Hawley Is Reportedly Writing A Book About 'Manhood'—And Everyone's Making The Same Joke

Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley was widely mocked after it emerged he is writing a book about masculinity set to be published in May 2023.

The book, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues Americans Need, expands on concerns Hawley has expressed about the decline of traditional male gender roles and expectations in the United States.


The notion masculinity is being attacked–namely by the left wing–is a popular one among Republicans like Hawley, who last year accused "the Left" of hurting "the future of the American man" and went on to claim the "deconstruction of America begins with and depends on the deconstruction of American men."

To that end, the book's description declares "The American Founders believed that a republic depends on certain masculine virtues" and American men should "stand up and embrace their God-given responsibility as husbands, fathers, and citizens."

Yet funnily enough, Hawley has been branded a coward given he was mocked just last week after the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 insurrection revealed surveillance footage of him fleeing the United States Capitol during the attack he helped incite.

The book's announcement inspired many Twitter users to make the same joke.



Last year, Hawley made clear during an appearance on Axios on HBO that he intends to make toxic masculity a signature political issue, telling the documentary news series that the left is telling people like him that their masculinity is "inherently problematic."

Hawley's remarks have been criticized as a "conspiratorial vision" and amplification of the ongoing culture wars between Republicans and Democrats.

They also serve as obfuscation for the role he played ahead of the January 6 insurrection given that he was the first Senator to object to the certification of President Joe Biden's electoral win.

While he has since claimed he doesn't agree with former President Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 general election was fraudulent, he has issued contradictory and unrepentant statements likening the left to a "woke mob."

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
