I keep seeing posts mentioning this phenomenon more and more often.

For instance:

More and more men are being sucked into parts of the internet that circulate misogynist content, leaving their families to deal with the wreckage

‘Andrew Tate phenomena’ surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher

Like, why? Why now? Why even? I really wish I had a time machine where I could go to the future and ask them what the general reasons were for this social development. But I feel like I’m looking for the specific thorn on a cactus that popped my balloon.

      Stop telling young men and boys they are toxic in front of their peers.

      oh so you’re just done reading I guess then, because I already refuted that

      please define toxic femininity

      Traits of femininity that are toxic. Is that the best gotcha you have?

        It’s not about a gotcha, it’s about addressing a real problem facing young men and boys, and it’s the reason they are turning to asshats like Tate.
