Why Does Horrific, Abusive Misogyny Appeal to Millions of Men and Boys?
Tate says women are inferior and morally deficient and deserve to be abused and young men and boys believe him
I read a news story saying Andrew Tate’s “dangerous influence” might end this year. The piece suggested his influence may be over because the UK Crown Prosecution charged him and his brother with rape, bodily harm, and human trafficking.
I could weep at how naïve that is.
Meanwhile, ten year old boys in the UK are refusing reply to their teacher because she’s a woman. They’ll only reply to a male teacher’s assistant.
I wish I was kidding.
In a recent poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK, sixty percent of teachers said social media has negatively affected behavior in the classroom and many came right out and named Tate directly. As one teacher said:
“I have had boys refuse to speak to me and speak to a male teaching assistant instead because I am a woman and they follow Andrew Tate and think he is amazing with all his cars and women… These were 10-year-olds…”
My god. Ten year olds. Won’t reply to the teacher because she’s a woman.
