    No. We mean people like andrew tate. These guys aren’t men, They’re assholes. They don’t teach you how to be “men”, they teach you how to be assholes.

    No real man thinks he’s “high-value” and definitely doesn’t think women are worth less or deserve to be treated like shit.

    That’s not real men, that’s assholes.

    And yes, I’m gatekeeping the term “Man”.

      I’m not defending Andrew Tate here. My point is that when there is nobody else for these young men to look up to then they go to the only ones available.

      Name one good male role model you approve of.
