GOP Sen. Josh Hawley tells men to stop watching porn and playing video games and return to being fathers, husbands and 'somebody who takes responsibility'
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 8, 2021 | Nikki Schwab

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley said conservatives needed to 'call men back to responsibility,' in a new interview that aired Sunday on Axios on HBO.

'Spending your time on video games, spending your time watching porn online while doing nothing is not good for you, your family, or this country,' Hawley said.

The Missouri Republican also suggested the left should be blamed for men's undoing.

Men whom are going their own way are harming nobody. This is not 1950 Senator Hawley. I partially agree with him the the Left and Feminism have played a role in denigrating men. But many men have decided today's modern women are not worth the effort. Who can blame men for refusing to marry when there is a 50% chance of divorce and women initiate 80% of divorces.

He is being attacked on the Daily Mail. I never thought I would see this in the USA.

“Men whom are going their own way are harming nobody. This is not 1950 Senator Hawley.”

At least go out and do something other than porn and video games.

All the good ones are taken.

Once that little piece of paper is filed, you have no leverage. None. If you get into a marriage with a selfish woman, you’re life is hell. You can say it’s a man’s social duty to be father and husband, but it will be all about her and not about being mother and wife. So make sure you take real care to find the right one, and not lose your wits over a piece of tail. If you do then you made your own bed. As cold as that sounds, that’s why a lot of men wont do it.

It is not said enough that Responsibility and Authority go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other.

And what’s he going to do about the woke system that’s punishing and burying men? He’s just piling on.

I have a few female friends who never married bc the men they met wanted them to “put out” but they were shy Christian women who were earnestly saving themselves for marriage like God wanted them to. Kinda average looking, but great hearts. Pushing 60 now. They would have been loving wives and mothers.

Really? No woman stops a man from being a strong, manly, responsible man, but his own wimpy self.

China Hawley couldn’t hand out enough stimulus money last year to help pay dudes to stay home and play games and watch porn.

He's mostly right - at least in sentiment - although nothing wrong with playing video games in moderation as long you don't let it take over your life...we all need a hobby to unwind with now and again.

But many of today's women are also part of the equation as to how we got to this state - not just decisions by men.

Men whom are going their own way are harming nobody. This is not 1950 Senator Hawley.

Why don't we have the values we had then? That's the issue. And it has been harmful to society. That's his point.

I have three young adult sons—one way to prevent this age group from doing nothing all day but video games and porn (maybe the only way) is for parents to decline to allow them to live at home after age 18 (except for during college summers and short term emergencies).

That is the reason when my wife threatened to moved out I was happy to see her go. My oldest daughter is in PA school and is as woke as you can get so I don't go out of my way to help her out either. I am done playing with wild leftists.

I haven’t played a video game since first metal gear solid but I don’t see how playing a game is any worse than sitting on the couch and watching tv. Really should be doing something else but as far as relaxing goes it doesn’t seem too bad. Porn is a problem for a lot of men but women shouldn’t be taking their clothes off either.

What proof does he have that this is actually happening on a meaningful scale? I personally think this is just often repeated and regurgitated nonsense. Sure some people are doing these things but that has NOTHING to do with the continued decline of our once great nation.

Hawley needs to do shut his trap and actually do something productive.

Sad but maybe if they had "put out" for someone they thought was otherwise a good man maybe things would have worked out differently. These women wanted the men to take a chance on them but did not want to take the same chance themselves. Christianity is a guide for life its not a stone cold law. If they missed out on a companion for life it's on them not the entire opposite sex.

Not hardly. Pot smoking is another. Pot porn and video games. I have friends and relatives with boys like these. They are at their wits end.
It is way more common than you think.

Women don't have tails.
