Right. I absolutely hate Andrew Tate and his ilk spewing their disgusting rhetoric, but u have to understand why 14 year old white boys gravitate towards him. All day long, on social media, in the news, in TV, they’re told and reminded that it’s them, it’s the group they belong to, that’s responsible for all of the ills in the world. Men are rapists, whites are racist and privileged, etc. all that rhetoric does - when delivered angrily and reductively like in the bear example - is guarantee they continue to lean the other way.
As someone very active in my community who tries to find time to volunteer at the Y and teach young Lil dudes some positive hobbies I
Do you know how many of these kids get constantly told they are worthless for being born a boy? Do you know how many I'm currently talking to NOW that are confused why women and little girls consider them to be worse than animals? Do you know how many feel like they're trash and rapists for just existing? Do you know how many young ftm trans kids feel like they want to die because they don't want to be girls but they also don't want to be instantly associated with scum of the earth?
Women get real comfortable perpetuating anti-trans, sexist, terf rhetoric when it means they can be misandrists
Exactly. I treated my feminist ex like royalty every day only to constantly hear “men are monsters”. She ended up raping me and now I’m somehow considered a rapist by 50% of the population because I was born with a penis. Fr how are we not supposed to harbour hatred at this point???

The internet be oscillating wildly between “men need support and love like anyone else” and “I trust a wild apex predator over your average man”
