Having been following the Greta / Tate stuff on a number of different sites (and cheering Greta on so hard!) I see time and time again men (and yes it's men) posting about how if they were allowed their masculinity, Tate wouldn't have the fans but they get told that masculinity is toxic, how it's been taken away from them, how they are an "underclass".

What exactly has been taken away from men?!

As far as I can tell, Tate followers don't like the fact that women will no longer put up with being second class. Won't put up with being harassed or sexually assaulted. Are willing to stand up for themselves and be counted.

Are this section of men really so very weak that they are so threatened by this?

But they think he won that exchange

A lot don't and are Xmas Blush that they believed in him. You'll always get the die-hards and paid, but AT's main audience is teenage boys and they've seen him burnt by GT and become an embarrassing internet meme.Xmas Blush

🤣🤣🤣

He failed in his response by boasting about how big, red, thrusting and powerful his many cars were, thus proving her point.

hotdiggetydog · 29/12/2022 22:56

He's a breath of fresh air!

LexMitior · 29/12/2022 23:01

I don't think so. He has big emissions

Are you genuinely suggesting we should and take people who think a woman's sole purpose in life is to stay at home and be a fuck toy seriously?

You may not but a lot of young men do.

LexMitior · 29/12/2022 23:07

Well they are either deprived, depraved or a bit simple.

Tate is having the piss ripped out of him by men and women everywhere.

Good!!

CitronVert22 · 29/12/2022 23:16

We should take seriously his popularity and the influence he is having over the next generation of men. I didn't take seriously the idea of Brexit or Trump at first.

Of course the problem is the Streisand Effect. I say 'Ugh, Andrew Tate!' and someone goes and Googles him and decides he's got a point. I genuinely am not sure how we approach that problem.

PurpleButterflyWings · 29/12/2022 23:17

GRETA fucking rocks! Grin

I am aware of that, but that doesn’t answer the question I asked.

Do you think people with those sorts of beliefs should be accommodated and listened too?

Thingstodotoday · 29/12/2022 23:19

Apparently he’s been arrested! Praying it’s true!

Sux2buthen · 29/12/2022 23:24

So apparently he denied he was in Romania for this trafficking accusation but in his video replying to Greta he had a Romanian pizza box that showed the truth.
That's what I've just read anyway.
Amazing

I don’t think they can be ignored if they are gaining traction and followers.

I have a good friend who very, very early when Trump was running, posted a bumper sticker of a Trump supporter. She thought it was funny! Hahaha we found one type thing. She lives in Texas. He ended up POTUS, despite bragging about grabbing women by the pussy.

That's fucking hilarious, you couldn't make it up! What a fanny.

What an utter idiot. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

If that ‘fresh air’ is really toxic fumes you’re dead on.

The man is a woman hating cunt.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 29/12/2022 23:39

The pathetic insecurity shown by Tate and his ilk is ironically the opposite of the "masculinity" they claim to have been robbed of.
They are cowards whose only recourse is to lash out and blame / bully others in response to their own failings. The curse of the internet is that it amplifies their minority view to a level where it seems to have some importance.
Greta's response was fabulous.

BabyOnBoard90 · 30/12/2022 00:22

Tate isn't the problem. The issue is the obsessed individuals that hate / love him.

I really thought that people on the left would have learned something, after Brexit and Trump, about ignoring disenfranchised groups.

Brexit and Trump made me think if it's the 'disenfranchised' voting for that...I feel even further away from them than before.
If being disenfranchised makes them feel less powerful? Sadly and unfortunately I'm ok with that.

Their allies are not their friends, but being a women and all the other things they would hate about me....I'm not going to be able to respected and I'm pitted against their ideology. Their voting pattern shows me that.

I really thought that the disenfranchised who voted Brexit and Trump would have learned something about the cunts who manipulated them.🤷‍♀️
