‘Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the problem’: why young men are turning against feminism (www.theguardian.com)

Teachers describe a deterioration in behaviour and attitudes that has proved to be fertile terrain for misogynistic influencers

“As soon as I mention feminism, you can feel the shift in the room; they’re shuffling in their seats.” Mike Nicholson holds workshops with teenage boys about the challenges of impending manhood. Standing up for the sisterhood, it seems, is the last thing on their minds.

When Nicholson says he is a feminist himself, “I can see them look at me, like, ‘I used to like you.’”

Once Nicholson, whose programme is called Progressive Masculinity, unpacks the fact that feminism means equal rights and opportunities for women, many of the boys with whom he works are won over.

“A lot of it is bred from misunderstanding and how the word is smeared,” he says.

But he is battling against what he calls a “dominance-based model” of masculinity. “These old-fashioned, regressive ideas are having a renaissance, through your masculinity influencers – your grifters, like Andrew Tate.”

I also blame CBC and other supposedly legit sources for giving this fuck air time and even asking him about the Israel/Palestine war as if his opinion matters.

Also so called journalists like this who remove all responsibility from Tate for being a rapist piece of shit

When did the CBC give this guy air time? I looked for it, and all I found are articles critical of him by the CBC.

Perhaps the user meant BBC. Someone from there did an interview

I still choose to blame the Canadians

They've been too nice for too long, something's fishy, I'm keeping an eye on them

Every year, they preform a dark ritual and cast their nastiness into their geese before the geese migrate south for the winter.

Never ask a Canadian why they no longer have an Airborne Regiment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Man, I was just telling my girlfriend today because we had a Canadian friend coming over. He was so polite and communicative in texts, I'm sure he's up to something.

Also I wanted to add, his humble manner really gets under my skin.
