#9/10 times its a strawman arguement

[ebenelephant]

so like, in case anyone was wondering, the fact that andrew tate 'supported mens mental health' and encouraged dudes to go to the gym and have better self esteem and such is not actually good enough reason to defend his online presence (seperate to the literal human trafficking)

even if you think that you didn't take in his political messages, I would bet money that you did, because the guy who myself and a friend got into an hour long debate about this with in our english class referred to someone female-presenting as 'dominatable' and 'like a weak animal' this morning – just the tip of the iceberg of the increasingly concerning misogynist rhetoric he's been developing over the past months, perhaps the past years.

obviously this isn't an exclusively andrew tate related thing; toxic mens rights 'activists' are a dime a dozen and often vile. this is just the situation that I find myself privy to, and I felt like it was important that people were aware.
