Curious, have any of you truly listened to what they say and do? I have because I saw my son being influenced by them and I must be honest, I wish I had heard what they have to say at his age. I have implemented much of what they speak of in my life and it has had a tremendous impact.

Who is Andrew Tate?
Mr. Tate, who is British and American, is a former kickboxer who has gained a large online following by marketing a brand of antagonistic masculinity tied to lavish displays of wealth.

Online and in interviews, Mr. Tate has expressed sexist views, saying that women hold some responsibility if they are raped and that they “belong” to men in marriage, while men should be providers and protect them.

Mr. Tate sells access to an online “academy” and a “War Room,” an online community where his fans discuss get-rich-quick schemes and other subjects. Educators in Britain have warned that his messaging is reaching young boys who are wrestling with their own ideas of masculinity.
Concerns over his influence led several social media sites to bar Mr. Tate in 2022, but he has maintained an active presence on X, where he shares pictures of his luxury cars and rails against “the Matrix” — his conspiratorial term for a network of corporate elites, mainstream politicians and feminists who he claims are victimizing men.

In an indictment filed in June 2023, prosecutors in Romania accused Mr. Tate and his brother, along with two Romanian women, of forming an organized criminal group in 2021 and trafficking women across Romania, Britain and the United States. The brothers have so far successfully blocked that case from going to trial.
