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.

    One teacher said she’d had 10-year-old boys “refuse to speak to [her]…because [she is] a woman”

    Does this come from Tate? This could also be a child from a family with partiarchal values. Tate is not the only source of influence. But one incident shouldn’t be part of an article because it is an exception.

    What is the general reason for social development? The elite is creating the cirucumstances for change. Why? Divide and conquer.

    On an individual level, masculinity makes sense because going to the gym and being confident makes life much more simple than trying to feel compassion with everybody. For boys, masculinity is the common denominator among all cultures. So in a multicultural society, that’s what is going to be established as the fused culture of the next generation.

    Girls have the same problems, but their answer, being pretty and doing makeup, doesn’t cause trouble and is thus ignored.

    To change this, new forms of education must be developed because math and geography don’t teach the necessary skills to deal with this complex world.
