Andrew Tate, who has been quite a controversial figure on social media after his misogynistic comments, was banned from Twitter in 2017.

Why was Andrew Tate banned from social media?
Although his demeaning comments about women never stopped, Andrew Tate’s name wasn’t as popular as it is today until 2022. Tate identifies himself as a self-help personality who guides his male audience more young. However, his advice to the public is far from helpful as the 35-year-old casually promotes misogyny, objectifying that women belong to men and nothing more.
It was in 2017 that Andrew Tate was banned from Twitter for his comments on the #MeToo movement. “[I]If you put yourself in a position to be violated, you have to put up with it [sic] some responsibility, Tate tweeted. “I’m not saying it’s OK, you got raped. No woman should be abused regardless. However, with sexual assaults, they want to blame the victim, whoever it is.

I have to say that Elon and Andrew Tate have the same broken boy inside. The child who can’t stand rejection, who can’t stand not succeeding. Forever thirteen, feeding on what they understand to be love.
I can see why he let her back. Poisonous nerds of a feather.

I didn’t know who Andrew Tate was, but my 12 year old son did.
Parents, they’re coming for your boys. They sell misogyny and racism to white cishet boys, in a package that sounds appealing. Talk to your kids, have tough conversations. It is important.

The highest suicide rates in the West are among middle-aged men with money. The more you have, the more you have to lose. These guys equate money and power with the value of a person’s life, and while being poor sucks, there’s more to life than material wealth.

fully wish that men like andrew tate would just admit that they are insecure about their masculinity and therefore need to force women into submission to feel a sense of purpose and identity so that we can all move on something else collectively
