Being An Andrew Tate Fan Is a Walking Red Flag

'For many of us, it’s not very hard to see why boys and men are in crisis. We live in a society which tends to casually and routinely denigrate manhood, commitment, marriage, and fatherhood.

Self-determination and sexual promiscuity reign. The birth rate is down, marriages are falling, and divorce is up. Being masculine in the right sense of the word is shunned. To compound the masculinity crisis we are facing, a great proportion of people are no longer able – or willing – to differentiate between male and female for fear of being seen as politically incorrect. This is well evidenced in the acceptance of and ideological takeover of transgenderism, especially among the young, many of whom accept the lie that there is no such thing as biological sex, hook, line and sinker.

The concept of traditional gender roles is frowned upon. We have, by some accounts, created a society full to the brim of weak and unmanly men who are afraid to be strong, who are afraid of their own masculinity, who are afraid to simply be good men. Some suggest that the over-policing of boys and men, brought on in part by feminism, has created many anxious, angry, insecure young men.

Feminist ideology – specifically our society’s obsession with female victimisation – is one branch of the problem. But fatherlessness and a lack of good father figures, in my opinion, is the more pervasive cause of the lack of direction, the shortage of confidence, and perhaps the effeminacy of some boys and men today. It goes without saying that there is a crisis of femininity, too – yet I would argue it’s harder for women to see the value of examining societal roles when men are pointing to a man who places no value on fidelity, modesty, or self-respect as an example to follow.'
