“The woke mob is…forcing men to withdraw into dens of…porn.”
You mean that’s not where the men in question were in the first place?
Some years back there was a line of “thought” that “attacking” porn amounted to “attacking” the male gender itself because looking at porn was supposedly a perfectly “natural” thing for men to do and no one had any right expecting men to NOT look at porn (or some such damned thing, as noted, it was years ago). Apparently something changed.
Asking men to stop harassing people or at least apologize for past harassment means taking away their masculinity? You’re insulting your whole gender, there.
I’m no “conservative” but I do worry about the fact that young kids are now seeing hard-core porn from a very young age. I think it has to warp your view of sex. I was 15 before I saw hard-core, and that was just a few photos. Now, they’re seeing films when their still pre-pubescent.
War in the Ukraine and Putin’s madness and time devoted to this subject, er, ah….say what? Quite a loooong time ago that this subject made the headlines….Zzzzz.
By “American masculinity” does he mean like when we tortured people in Afghanistan on the word of someone who may or may not have their own agenda or does he mean domestically when we turned a blind eye to how the police would abuse their power and brutalize minorities? Or maybe he remembers the 80s when we funded terrorists to “fight the commies” or make things easier for American businesses. It sure seems like conservatives don’t know the difference between being a man and being a bully.
Josh Hawley is in the pocket of the Evangelical Taliban and other ultra-right-wing Christian movements. They are the ones who funded his campaign for Senator in my State of Missouri, and they are the ones he reports to. His goal, of course, is to run and win the Presidency. If he wins, it would be the death knell for civil liberties in this country, especially for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community.
patrick murphy, loony squiggles, montana bill, rikitikiDA, klemubermoron, ammosexuallydysfunctional, opspecial ed, JAwholikebluegrass, where do you stand with Senator Hawley on male masculinity?:
In the fifth panel, has Mark developed a late-middle-aged paunch? If so, GT has aged him just as my older brother has aged naturally, but my brother has more of a beard that has been trimmed in a way to fit within a COVID mask for the safety of his patients and himself. (He is a pediatric neurologist, so some of his young patients are extremely vulnerable.)
Porn does not fuel male desire. Male desire fuels porn. And porn fueled Captcha, PayPal, was a big factor in the VHS/Beta Max war as well as DVD-HD vs Blu-Ray war. VHS and DVD kept it going when theatres were closing and catalog companies were closing down. The reaction to Traci Lords almost single handedly wrote several federal laws in regards to proper ID requirements for adult performers as well as accelerating more secure drivers licenses (California, and almost all the other states used a license that was basically a black and white single layer easily manipulated photograph) One of my aunts was a sex therapist and her daughter is one now.
Hawley made this comment some time ago. That’s ok. Mo. voters may need a refresher course in his stupidity. Time to vote him and the other R’s out. The fascism of the Republican Party is currently on full display.
Apparently there is an IPSOS poll out that more than 60% of Americans disapprove of the new FL “reeducation” bill. They are angry with the govt interference in education. Well luckily we can fix that easily, vote out the republicans, governors, state legislators and especially senators and congressmen.
Josh Hawley must watch porn for the same reason I do, to be disgusted with what is being shown on the screen and disgusted with myself for wondering if my partner would try some of that crap.
Some sources that I respect state that porn is “bad.” Other sources that I equally respect state that porn is, well, “acceptable,” at least. Fortunately, God has blessed me not just with a memory and with an imagination but with a remarkably low sex drive (which simplifies life A LOT, lemme tell ya), so I just don’t mess with it. I am, of course, a flawed and imperfect human being who occasionally fails to meet the standards that he sets himself.

Josh Hawley (Fascist-Missouri) Sings:
When I was a punk folk had no doubt
I’d commit treason with my trademark pout
I did my level best to prove them right
When I told a mob of traitors to go out and fight
(When he told a mob of traitors to go out and fight)
And though the Biggest Lie was nothing but a ruse
They revolted just for me—also Trump and Cruz
(And though the Biggest Lie was nothing but a ruse
They revolted just for him—also Trump and Cruz)
I’m never never modest so my horn I’ll toot
I gave that my of traitors my own Fascist salute
And when the mob rampaged I quaked with fear
With a certain brownish discharge coming from my rear
(With a certain brownish discharge coming from his rear)
But in the aftermath I voted straight and true
To acquit my fellow traitor, Donald you-know-who
(But in the aftermath he voted straight and true
To acquit his fellow traitor, Donald you-know-who

Porn is “Problematic”? And what about action videos? I’d rather see people making love than making war. Sex is messy but killing is far worse.
