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 article illustrate the Hypergamy concept. The men in that case might feel inadequacy after leaving the traditional role of breadwinner, which caused cognitive dissonance in his leftist views and make him vulnerable to the propaganda.

witch caused cognitive dissonance

Ahhh it was the witches all along

Before we rush to judgment about witches. We really should test them to make sure that they are witches.

[–] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ooh maybe some sort of test in the water?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We have to see if the witches float!

Im in a bubble where these guys are like the most laughable parody of themselves so maybe I'm biased but... I mean nobody is taking this kind of stuff serious right? I mean cool, free speech and such but dumb behavior had consequences, right?

You caught on early, and rejected it. There are plenty of new recruits introduced every day, who are taking it seriously.

[–] pablodaniel 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's probably 50/50.

50% of the people are using it as entertainment and laughing at/encouraging those who take it seriously. We can call them the 'trolls.'

50% of the people are actually taking it seriously and don't know any better. We can call them the 'tools.'

there was plenty of warning signs for Years, even before the pandemic. if you look at how pickup artist operate, and then go on youtube. Tate isnt even a new phenemon, hes a culmination of the above problems. hes just the latest symptom, as was JOE ROGAN.

[–] pablodaniel 4 points 1 day ago

Agreed.

It's clear though what kind of males fall for these influencers; the ones without good male role models or father figures in their lives.

Why don't they have good male role models or father figures? I think it's because they feel they can only choose between 'cuck' and 'chad' so when their insecurity flares up, they instinctively go with 'chad.'

Balance is lost among men in our society. There's no 'firmness' anymore. Either men are pensive emo teens, or they're boisterous blowhards like tate.

Anyone in between is ignored and forgotten about.

Yeah but in the olden days they were on a print ad in the back of Popular Mechanics, not the leading talk show in the nation.

To answer the headline: divorce, I hope.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yes. It is worth trying to address issues first, especially with kids/finances involved, but if nothing works divorce still does.

I would no longer recommend marriage tbh

[–] carbonari_sandwich@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When economic independence is rare, divorce is rare.

[–] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess getting rid of no fault divorces helps that too

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Seriously I've already had this conversation with my husband. If no-fault divorce seems imminent we are divorcing preemptively.
