I keep seeing posts mentioning this phenomenon more and more often.
For instance:
‘Andrew Tate phenomena’ surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher
Like, why? Why now? Why even? I really wish I had a time machine where I could go to the future and ask them what the general reasons were for this social development. But I feel like I’m looking for the specific thorn on a cactus that popped my balloon.
Kids are being exposed early to social media, the boys watch “stuff for men” and learn “how a man should be”. With that and the help of algorithms, what other out come could someone expect?
Not just the kids. The kids who were exposed to this stuff way back now have kids. It’s generational now.
