\"Josh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hawley Knows The Problems Facing America\u2019s Young Men. But Is He Man Enough To Address Them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

November 19 is International Men\u2019s Day. As men face high rates of mental illness, drug addiction and suicide, International Men\u2019s Day (IMD) aims to bring awareness to the reasons men might be uniquely vulnerable and to present systemic solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does Missouri\u2019s self-proclaimed manhood expert Josh Hawley think about this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Josh Hawley seems to understand the issues at hand \u2013 men are paid less than their fathers were for the same work, aren\u2019t receiving adequate education and struggle with mental illness and drug addiction \u2013 he doesn\u2019t seem that interested in solving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMD is clear that their mission is to promote positive male role models, improve gender equality and highlight discrimination against men in social expectations. Hawley\u2019s Manhood book, released earlier this year, does the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley blames men for their issues, claiming they have no purpose and aren\u2019t trying hard enough because they are \u201ccontent to be dependent\u201d on their families and the government. He mocks men who live with their parents, battle drug addiction and face unemployment, saying they have \u201cdisinterest in work\u201d and are \u201cincapable of living on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Hawley has the power to address the issues plaguing young men. He could write and pass legislation diverting more resources towards mental health or addressing drug addiction. Instead, he backed legislation to undercut labor<\/a> and education<\/a>. Hawley would rather pin the responsibility on his constituents than vote to improve their lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course phony Josh Hawley would milk men\u2019s issues for political points without fixing them \u2013 he has no problem doing the same on labor<\/a> and veterans\u2019 issues<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Hawley adds insult to injury when he advocates in his book for a bootstraps approach \u2013 the banker\u2019s son and Yale grad never had to work hard for a thing in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this International Men\u2019s Day, let\u2019s advocate for real change, and push Josh Hawley to do the same. If he wants to make manhood his passion project, he needs to put his money where his mouth is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
