With surveys reporting that an increasing number of young men are subscribing to these beliefs, the number of women finding that their partners share the misogynistic views espoused by the likes of Andrew Tate is also on the rise. Research from anti-fascism organisation Hope Not Hate, which polled about 2,000 people across the UK aged 16 to 24, discovered that 41% of young men support Tate versus just 12% of young women.
“Numbers are growing, with wives worried about their husbands and partners becoming radicalised,” says Nigel Bromage, a reformed neo-Nazi who is now the director of Exit Hate Trust, a charity that helps people who want to leave the far right.
“Wives or partners become really worried about the impact on their family, especially those with young children, as they fear they will be influenced by extremism and racism.”
The conversation around this is almost always disingenuous. Older people have the views they were raised in, and they think reality is the same for the younger generation.
Meanwhile, there are practices like the progressive stack that send white or male people to the back of the line (literally) in the name of equity. I imagine opposing that would also be “anti-feminist”.
There’s now a generation of young men who were told “shut up, it’s our turn now” and surprise surprise, young men are tuning out those people.
Funny enough, if the gender gap in early teaching were taken more seriously it would be less of a problem.
