Andrew Tate - we’ve all heard the name. He’s a self-described misogynist and what’s more worrying, is that he has a huge influence.
Eight in ten boys aged between 16 and 17 have seen his content, according to charity Hope Not Hate. They also found that boys were more likely to have seen Tate’s material than had heard of our Prime minister, Rishi Sunak, which is mad.
But what’s the impact of so many men our age seeing this kind of sexist, misogynistic content?
This is Noted and I’m your host Mary Mandefield. This week, I’m exploring how online toxic masculinity affects the real world and what we can do about it.
I speak to my colleague at The News Movement, Freddie Feltham. He’s looked into influencers like Tate, and talks to me about how they became so popular. He also shares his own experiences of figuring out what ‘being a man’ even means in today’s world.
Dan Guiness is from Beyond Equality, which is a charity who works with young men in schools and universities to help tackle misogyny. He talks about the sorts of things people in power are doing to deal with this problem, but also how we can have an impact in our own lives, too.
As always, I want to hear your thoughts on this. What do you think about the culture of online masculinity? And people like Tate, and their influence? You can send a message or a voice note, our Whatsapp is 07723735241.
