Summary

Josh Hawley identifies the defining roles men are called to play in order to exercise their “masculine virtues.” The second of these is that of father. What are the virtues Hawley thinks fathers embody? And are they really virtues that only fathers can embody? And exactly what kind of a man can even be a father? Finally, how do Hawley’s answers to these questions reveal the ideology at work in his account of “manhood”? Join Dan as he answers these questions in this week’s episode.
