Hawley Says Feminism Has Driven Men to Pornography

November 2, 2021 at 10:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) argued that feminism is pushing men towards pornography and video games, The Guardian reports.

Said Hawley: “Can we be surprised that after years of being told that 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?”
