Just shocked at having heard some of the things this famous kick-boxer has done and said about women. I had no idea who he was until DD showed me videos and I read a bit more about him.

Why is he allowed to spout such vile nonsense, IMO he shouldn’t even have an Instagram account.

He says women have to accept some of the blame for having put them self in a position to be raped. And that a woman going to a bar alone would be equivalent to parking your car where it can get stolen.

He moved to Romania because it’s ‘easier to rape women there’ and says although he wouldn’t he likes the freedom of being able to if he wanted.

Why is a sporting figure allowed to perform that openly hates women?

My ds school have been having massive problems caused by young boys listening to this hateful man. Dh and I are having to constantly explain to ds why Tate is so toxic, as totally unexpectedly ds got caught up in it all, (luckily I get notifications from his YouTube account so I found out). The pastoral team are doing what they can to address it with ds year group. They are all year 9 so aged 13/14, very impressionable age. In my opinion this guy has been grooming them, he’s needs locking up 😡

I know this thread is from a while ago.

There have been a few threads about him before, one from a woman whose gullible misogynist boyfriend was defending him.

As always on threads like this, I thoroughly recommend the book Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates - www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/aug/27/laura-bates-on-the-men-who-hate-women-idolise-murderers

he's not just a one-off, there are entire, large, subcultures based around this thinking. As that interview shows, it's filtering into UK schools.

His reasons for where he lives are not the issue, so let's not pretend they are.

that is not why he moved to Romania at all. I don't think you have really spent the time listening to his long form interviews if you think that is why he resides in Romania.

He is a thoroughly vile excuse for a human being.

There are loads of accounts that think he's amazing and repost his stuff. It's scary.

I can't think of kick boxing and MMA as sports to be honest. Most of their male practitioners seems to be utter scumbags.

I know this word gets used a lot on MN, but to say he's vile would be a massive, massive understatement.
