A Democratic Senator from Connecticut expressed his opinion that society could no longer “avoid the biological” and evolutionary differences in men and women.

Chris Murphy said that in a Twitter thread, after reading “Of Boys and Men” by author Richard Reeves, he felt that the left was “missing the crisis” going on with “men today,” adding that it needed to be talked about.

Murphy’s tweet comes after Sen. Josh Hawley‘s (R-Miss.) book, “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs” received negative feedback and reviews even before his book was released.

“We cannot avoid the biological/evolutionary differences between men and women,” Murphy wrote in his Twitter thread on Saturday.

2/ We cannot avoid the biological/evolutionary differences between men and women. It’s not “toxic masculinity” that causes men to commit 90% of murders, for instance. Both biology and thousand of years of culture have wired men differently. Policy has to acknowledge that.

Murphy said that the book written by Reeves shares similar themes to the ones discussed in Murphy’s book, “The Violence Inside Us: A Brief History of An Ongoing American Tragedy.”

Both men discuss an “identity crisis happening with men,” says Murphy, speaking of his book and Reeves’.

“In one short generation, they lost their roles as primary family earners,” Murphy writes in his Twitter thread, calling out the right for saying “we should go back to the 1950’s” while also saying that the “left is wrong” for telling men to basically forget about it.

A survey from the Pew Research Center released in April showed that women today either earn the same as their husbands or are out-earning them by roughly $53,000.

Murphy highlights how Reeves talks about implementing policies that are geared towards “men’s needs.” Such policies include providing boys with more “hands-on instruction” or providing “non-married fathers” with more rights and expectations.

“More paths (and less shaming),” Murphy writes of men who decide to go into fields such as, “teaching, health care, and social work.”

4/ Reeves is smart to suggest policies shaped toward men’s needs. More hands on instruction for boys, who learn differently. More rights (and expectations) for non-married fathers. More paths (and less shaming) of men who go into teaching, health care, and social work.

Murphy points to Hawley’s book as an example, saying that instead of progressives thinking that “men and masculinity is just something the right talks about,” they should start addressing it as well.
