No I do not like Andrew Tate.

But, I am growing tired of waiting for wider society to acknowledge the real problem…

Because sadly there will always be those like Tate – the real question is, why do so many follow him?

Why was he able to enlist an army of followers so easily?

Why are his words and message so reverberant and magnetic to so many?

And what is the real lesson behind his bombastic words, chauvinism, and hubris?

Well the answer to that is – we have failed boys.

And yes, all of us.

Andrew Tate’s profound success is inversely proportionate to our own failure, with both being truly monumental.

We are the ones who abandoned our boys.

He just went back to scoop them up with promises of fairytales, and cheat codes to riches.

Worse, not only have we failed to learn this lesson, but we are in the process of repeating it, and perhaps to even worse consequences.

We are doubling down on our condemnation of boys and men.

Doubling down on our incessant bigotry of ‘toxic’ this, and ‘patriarchy’ that.

Doubling down on our own ignorance, unwillingness, and disinterest in actually talking to boys about who they are, how they feel, and what they want.

The beat of anti-male bigotry bangs on; frog-marched into our classrooms, spat out of tv screens, and yelled into the chasm of social media.

The left, for all their calls for ‘accountability’, take none for themselves.

The progressives, and their continual prescriptions of ‘bitter pills to swallow’, spit out their own, like big babies.

And the feminist movement, after their endless policing of ‘problematic language’, hold onto their own words of anti-male hatred with an impressive vice-like grip.

Because the fact is – we, as a society, only ever talk about boys, and never actually talk to them.

And the results hurt us all.

So to the men on the left, are you as lost as I am?

And where do we go from here?
