Andrew Tate - who the heck is this loonatic?

I had heard of him before and knew that he was a famous misogynist, but I watched an interview with him. My gosh he is a madman.

He thinks that the female orgasm is a liberal lie.

He believes that men who have sex with women for pleasure rather solely to procreate, are gay.

He says that all women are simply sex workers, apart from ugly women, because they have to get jobs.

He believes that all the problems in the world are a result of women having the vote.

He says that men who play with their children are gay.

What can have gone so badly wrong in this man’s life that his mind is so warped and twisted?

Thanks for that great summary. I’ve never been able to bring myself to look into him.

How does someone become like this?
Does he make a living from being a professional misogynist & homophobe?

Basically yes.

There's this idea knocking around that women's rights are the biggest threat to masculinity.

And that "evolutionary psychology" is a valid tool to ensure both men and women know their place.(Men on top of women, with their hands deep in their pockets because Andy has deep insights to sell)

At the other end of the scale is Jordan Peterson, who at least uses big words, and has recently tried to distance himself from Our Andy.

But a similar vein runs through both their rhetoric.

I hadn’t either until now. I sort of wish I hadn’t as ignorance was bliss.

Even more frightening that there are people who agree with him.

If it was up to me I’d take all his money off him and give it to domestic abuse charities and de radicalising young men.

Basically what went wrong was the advent of the Internet that gave him a platform and exposure which he has been able to exploit primarily for financial gain. HTH.

He also believes that women are barely sentient.

His propaganda has spread to all males aged 13-25. What they think of it is down to what overall influences they have in their life, but I urge ANYONE with a male of this age range in their family to ask them what they think about Tate.

His father was a misogynist too.
