In Josh Hawley's world of 'masculinity,' women are second-class for the military draft

Sen. Josh Hawley’s anti-woman crusade is relentless.

Not content with calling for a new emphasis on “traditional masculinity,” Missouri’s junior senator is now stepping up his opposition to registering young women for a military draft.

“I’m in favor of keeping the Selective Service,” Hawley said, “but I’m not in favor of forcing women to fight against their will.”

Let’s begin with the obvious: How can a senator who constantly wails about vaccine mandates support a system that requires anyone to fight against their will? How is a military draft less tyrannical than a jab in the arm?

Having an over bearing father is part of it. Boys who grow up witnessing their mothers get put down develop unhealthy attitudes towards women.

This is the same guy who said that women should not work outside the home, have dinner on the table by 6pm, be ready to satisfy her man when he wants her to. A real 1950's kind of guy.

Now it’s starting to look like a whole political party is based on that. Trumpublicans
