[edit]Reception
[edit]Becca Rothfeld, in her review for The Washington Post, says that Hawley tries to write "a gender rule book" that is in "the awkward position of claiming that masculinity is both anassailable and endangered, both natural enough to be obvious and fragile enough to require defense."[1]
Ginny Hogan, writing for The Nation, says that while Hawley is correct in identifying there are modern issues facing men, but that he "wildly misses the mark" in identifying those issues[2] and urges that no one should read this book.[2]
Hawley attempts to separate the ideas he puts forth in Manhood from those esposed by Andrew Tate.[3] Despite this, politcal commentators and lawyers suchs as Kate Shaw, Melissa Murray and Jonathan Van Ness likened Hawley and the ideas in Manhood to Andrew Tate.[4] Rebecca Onion, writing for Slate, compares Manhood to the style of Jordan Peterson's "manliness" often described as just "clean your room" accountability.[3]
Lucas Kunce, a politician vying to run against Hawley in 2024, said to The Daily Beast "it's strange that Josh is writing a book on a topic he has zero experience with."[5]
