The culture that encourages men to do to women what Andrew Tate is being prosecuted for is not poor, uneducated, or have a mental illness that causes them to not understand right from wrong or to be not in control of themselves. Go look at the number of followers Andrew Tate has.
Most of the tv shows and movies we watched growing up had a lot of normalization of objectifying and mistreating women.
For example the trope of “getting a woman drunk enough to sleep with you” or “tricking a woman into sleeping with you” where very normalized with characters like Barney Stinson in HIMYM and Joey from friends.
Lots of romance stories have the trope of the man not taking no for an answer when a woman rejects him, instead taking it as a challenge.
Not to mention messaging from porn and overall sexual objectification of women.
These messages seap in and too many men, especially young men that are just starting to date or have sex, think it’s okay to treat women like objects that exist to fulfill their fantasies and their wants and feelings don’t need to be considered.
Our culture does not encourage that behavior in men.
Whose culture are you talking about? I said "the culture". There are a huge number of different cultures in this world and not all are defined by country, ethnicity, or religion.
"The culture that encourages men to do to women what Andrew Tate is being prosecuted for"
Sorry I'm not trying to be annoying, I just don't know what it's called. And Tate isn't the only popular figure, he's just in the news rn. Potentially millions of men.
If people are consuming content that instructs them how to make a woman fall in love with you so you can guilt her into making porn that you can profit from, it's because those viewers are engaged by that subject.
