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 culture war swung too far in a certain direction between 2012-2023 and this is the inevitable result. I saw this coming from a mile away.

      Can you give some examples? Do you mean the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage in 2015? The #metoo movement in 2017? Black Lives Matter protests in 2020?

      What do you think has gone too far?

        I applaud legalized gay marriage and BLM protests.

        No, it pretty much just comes down to demonizing men, constantly, to the point that they are not even allowed to stand up for themselves. Just standing up for men when they get generalized is enough to get you censored now.

        That’s why you’ve lost gen z men. It’s not some mystery.

        I agree with him, but I also respect his decision not to answer.

        Unfortunately, people like you can’t stand when someone says something you don’t like so you constantly try to pull them into a debate.

        Not everyone is worth replying to, regardless of how much they beg for a response.

          I’m a bigoted asshole and I have good reason. No, I won’t elaborate. No, nevermind that my name is Pablo.
