Article here. Excerpt:

'UK police chiefs have warned that young men are being radicalised into extreme misogyny online by influencers such as Andrew Tate. Speaking as the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) published a report into violence against women and girls, which it is calling a “national emergency’’, senior police officer Maggie Blyth has said that Tate and others like him are radicalising boys into extreme misogyny in a way that is “quite terrifying”.

The report estimates that at least one in every 12 women will be a victim of violence every year: around two million women. Nearly 3,000 crimes of violence against women are recorded each day, though police chiefs are calling it the “tip of the iceberg” because the figures do not include unreported crimes.'

And saying "feminism sucks" leads directly to wife-beating? What are police in the UK for, I wonder: being told how to think vis a vis boys and feminism or say, stopping the flow of toxic substances like fentanyl into their country? Seems it's easier to sit back and talk about ppl like Andrew Tate than it is to go stop drug trafficking, etc.
