that andrew tate is an “alpha male” and its a good way to live/behave.
that chinless fuck is ruining a large disenfranchised group of men
As someone who completely missed this Andrew Tate thing, does anyone have a good summary for me?
man who things being a misogynist is how you get women. incels love him. charges people for his “courses”
Also had a course on how to get girls to become cam girls for you using the “lover boy” method. Currently under house arrest and awaiting trial in Romania for human trafficking.
In recent years he’s been doing YT streams where he tells young men who are afraid about the state of the world that they’re pathetic and they just need to be more like him; and basically hate women because they caused all their problems.
Essentially hems a criminal shitbag that thinks he’s a genius and everyone else is stupid and is convinced it’s true as evidenced by the fact that his scams made him rich.
Sounds like this is a subject I can happily be ignorant of.
So is he one of those Mens Rights Activists? Or within that circle or so?
No, he is not. Hes a human trafficker and a scum bag.
The idea that men make more than women for similar jobs with similar experience is a myth that needs to die.
The idea was based on flawed data from the get-go, but it has persisted because it is an easy way to rile up the troops.
Whoo boy.
I used to work in the financial industry, specifically in a program geared toward women (trying to make financial services more approachable and inclusive). Much of their published “educational” material is about the harsh financial realities of being a woman, and the writers keep repeating this falsehood … as if the phrase “controlled pay gap” is profanity.
Don’t get me wrong, we should still be mindful of bias. We should acknowledge the pressure on women to take career breaks as caretakers (and, on the flip side, the pressure on men to be primary wage earners). And it’s perfectly valid to question whether pink collar work is undervalued and underpaid because these are traditionally female occupations.
But the women I worked with (most of them VPs in finance) simply preferred to believe that they were underpaid because of their gender. No matter what dollar figure you offered, no matter the industry/company/job role/etc., they would firmly believe that having a penis = 20% pay bump.
Like … that’s not how averages work ??
harsh financial realities of being a woman
We live in a time when everyone wants to be a victim.
I think anger feels more safe than sadness or fear, and not just for men. If you make an injustice narrative to elements of your life, you get to paint the surrounding moments with anger. It removes some of the sadness and fear from the hours of your day.
Also anger’s a directing-forward emotion. Anger motivates a person toward a thing, whereas fear motivates away. And sadness demotivates.
Anger is literally some people’s fuel for the day, because their desire isn’t strong enough to motivate them forward.
In order to have desire moving one forward, one needs a clear picture of what they want. But our world is so complex and fast-changing, that pictures of desired future states are hard to form.
As the world gets more complex, replacing the goal with an enemy allows one to keep moving forward without having to keep re-evaluating the goal.
With an enemy the goal is simple: warfare makes sense to us.
With something that would create stent desire, the goal is complex: good health and being of a certain role in the community and etc etc.
If people make simple desire goals, it can work. But they’re less profound so less powerful. “I want to have a red truck”. A person can work toward that but soon you have the truck and oh gee that’s nice but it’s not very fulfilling.
Having an enemy is simple, but hard. Which is perfect, because it lets you keep your eye on the same ball for a long time and build up momentum chasing it.
That anyone has their life together. Everyone is just winging it for the most part.
Yeah but there are degrees of having one’s life together.
So true. I hope more people realize this so that we can be kinder to each other.
That you can grow up and be anything you want.
Yeah, there are still people telling the lie, and still people believing it
Chris Rock said it best and it has always stuck with me:
“Stop telling kids they can be anything they want to be. You can be anything you’re good at, as long as they’re hiring.”
That thing is more about collapsing options as time moves on though. When you’re a kid you really can be ‘anything’ ignoring social and economic stuff. The probability curve is pretty open to anything at that point though. Once you’re thirty it feels squarely like that is less true and my options are clearer but more limited.
It’s scary but also awesome that you have so many open doors as a kid and adults that say this are mostly envying something they’ve lost and didn’t appreciate or see until later
