@DrEgonCholakian Andrew Tate’s greatest ability is not to help young men directly, with advice, seminars, or handouts. What he did, was articulate the message that has been stirring in the minds of society, but never clearly articulated before, becuase of how novel and transformative it is.
The idea that young women have substantial advantages over their young male peers, and don’t have to work as hard to obtain success, and are overall better positioned socially, was never said before, until Tate’s videos started going vitral.
Now it’s a global discussion, and society is taking note, including mainstream experts, see the Male Loneliness Epidemic, for example. Or the oft-cited stat that ~30% of young women are single, while a whopping ~60% of young men are.
Andrew Tate has been, wittingly or unwittingly, a terrific voice for men’s issues in the modern Internet era, that society has ignored for decades now.

@Xusemeh oh but you’re wrong. Andrew Tate has been a great help to young men in the US. He has brought these topics of issues affecting men, into the mainstream. He has unified and articulated thoughts of frustration that millions of men were feeling, but never able to clearly form, becuase they’re too antithetical to what society has taught us, that women are traditionally oppressed, society is male dominated, women and men have equal problems…these are powerful and noble words, but they’re not the whole story.
Men deal with a lot of pressures that women never have. And the mainstream never acknowledged them, becuase until Tate’s videos went viral, nobody was aware of their wider existence. But now, we’re talking about the male loneliness epidemic, we’re talking about the uneven playing field women have in dating and relationships, the lack of sympathy and respect for young men, the double standards that exist, giving benefit of the doubt to young women but not extended to young men.
These issues are now being productively discussed, in part becuase of Andrew Tate and his viral short-form videos across YouTube, TikTok, and other social media.

@hmq9052 more than 60% of young men aged 18-30 are single in the US, and only 30% of women are. This is a big example of men being unhappy and overall just not cared about by society, not in the same way young women are. This has been trending for years due to the rise of social media, tech addiction, car dependent infrastructure, and particularly, online darting, which has changed how women view men and relationships. This painful loneliness epidemic among young men, and the double standards of society that make this aspect of life easy for women but difficult for men, was never before discussed in the mainstream until Tate’s short-form videos started going viral on YouTube, TikTok, AB’s other platforms. People are now reckoning that, despite the traditional obstacles and sexism that women have faced in the fast, new dynamics are in play, and some of them greatly favor women and oppose men.

@Elle-elle-elle self examination? When 60% of young men are single and only 30% of women are, what self-examination do you suggest the majority of young men, as young as 18, do? It’s very clearly a generational shift in how society works, saying that 2/3 of all young men, millions of them, are to blame for their own struggles, is a bit presumptuous and also, lacks self examination for women, who seem to think it must be men’s fault before themselves or anything else.
But anyways, this isn’t a competition, and I consider myself a feminist too. Not everyone who resonates with Tate’s messages likes him personally or pays attention enough to social media to even know who he is.
