Is anyone else absolutely tired of these bOtH sIdEs takes?
Is anyone else tired of this “both sides are bad” nonsense? Like, it’s honestly insane how people act like women and men suffer equally in society. Everyone knows women have it worse. These “neutrality” takes do nothing but secretly help men by pushing the narrative that women are just as bad as men, which feeds directly into internalized misogyny. These women literally compare a few toxic women to the violent misogyny and hatred men embody. Men literally hate women and openly say they wish they didn’t have rights, they have whole podcasts with millions of views where they spew pure vitriol and dehumanise women, but somehow women saying they hate men BECAUSE of that is “equal”? No. It’s not the same at all.
And honestly, a few women being toxic just proves that we’re human, like no shit. You didn't prove anything by saying that. You just found out women aren't perfect angels which is a patriarchal expectation that's put upon them. That doesn't prove any "neutrality" argument or that both sides suffer equally. A lot of the toxic behavior women have is a way to cope with the patriarchy that forces them into impossible positions. It's also funny how when women show toxicity, they’re IMMEDIATELY judged. When men spew hatred and violence for DECADES, no one calls for neutrality. No one says “Oh let’s just be neutral and blame both sides!” No, we’re expected to accept that men’s violence is just a normal part of life or it's just how society and gender dynamics work.
It's the same as when men spew misogyny nobody says anything and if women react they're called dramatic, but if a woman says anything SLIGHTLY bad or negative about men EVERYONE starts talking about how "we are all flawed 🥺🥺" and to not live in a miserable victim mindset.
The moment a woman is less than perfect or shows frustration, suddenly it’s both sides. These women who date women and start claiming they “understand” men are so naive and deluded. They don’t understand that our actions relate to the context of a patriarchal society that’s constantly trying to keep us in check, and they use that to dismiss our valid frustrations. Like yeah there's toxic women because women are human beings and aren't perfect, but the cultural context of the society we live in, conditions the behaviours of both men and women to be different and constructed in a way that always puts women in MUCH greater disadvantages. We aren't "equally" toxic. Like it's not even comparable. This is just pure gaslighting lmao.
It’s honestly laughable. Men have been systematically horrible for centuries, oppressing women and pushing them down at every turn. But when a woman or a few women show toxic behaviour it's a gender war emergency and we need to talk about both sides being toxic? When is that energy when men scream from the rooftops that women and girls are lesser than and don't deserve rights?
It's so funny how people claim both sides have it bad, they "both" have their own struggles and need to take accountability, but how come when men, from EVERY SINGLE TIMELINE, are asked if they’d trade places with women, they ALWAYS say no, and even make fun of women for being women??? Men LITERALLY admit that being a woman is worse, and that’s been consistent across every poll, ever. For example there's multiple studies showing that when kids are interviewed in a classroom and the boys are asked if they'd like living as the opposite gender and vice versa for girls, the answer from boys is followed by STRONG disapprovals and degrading sexist jokes, such as "I'd k*** myself if I was a girl". So how can anyone still claim there’s some kind of neutral, equal experience? That we both have it bad and both need to take "accountability"? This accountability word is used soo out of place it annoys the hell out of me lmao. If men think being a woman is such a downgrade, maybe it’s time we listen to the people actually living the experience of oppression instead of pretending there’s some equal “toxic” problem on both sides. When we truly get to the root of the problem, we're able to find ACTUAL solutions on how to solve these issues, but pretending things are equal is just pure delusion and ignorance. Like it's literally denying the society we live in.

The Andrew Tate Effect in Schools

The “loverboy” method involves seducing victims into false romantic relationships to exploit them sexually. What Tate has described of doing MULTIPLE times, is the EXACT definition of this.
Remember what he said on his website: “My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she’s quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she’d do anything I say, and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together.”
He took this down and literally pretended he never said this in the BBC interview.
He has said on fresh & fit: “They were all from different places in the world,” (referring to the women he has recruited) “I had them all fly in, sat them all down together.” Totally doesn’t sound shady.
In an interview, Tate explained: “You have to instill a sense of fear and respect in her.”
He openly talked about leveraging relationships to recruit women: “You promise them a dream… and then you exploit them later.”
He has admitted from HIS OWN MOUTH, that he has exploited them. He has SPECIFICALLY used the words “exploit” and “obedience” himself MULTIPLE times. There are clips online that you can see where he says shit like this.
Tate has also explained how he would uses women in the business to recruit other women: "I'm going to find the girl, and I'm going to bring her to you, and you're going to tell her how good it is to work for me, and how great it is to do this webcamming thing and how smart we are.”
He has explicitly said: “I don't mention webcam until after I've had sex with the girl”.
I wonder why that is if he’s completely innocent and this business has no manipulation or illegal activity involved in it whatsoever. Withholding information for the purpose of deceit is literally FRAUD.
Even Tate’s former bodyguard described scenarios that align with the “loverboy” method: “Some of the girls misunderstood the reality and believed they were his girlfriends.”
He also claimed: “Over 50% of my employees were actually my girlfriends at the time and, of all my girlfriends, NONE were in the adult entertainment industry before they met me.”
All of these suggest deliberate strategy to lure women into romantic relationships with the intent of coercing them into sex work, which is exactly what the loverboy method is. You can’t look at this and pretend like this guy has good intentions and this is perfectly fine and legal.
Jordan Peterson and other figures of the daily wire have also consistently criticised him and called him out on his crimes, but tell me more about how it’s the “lefties” who are clueless. Ben Shapiro has done a whole video exposing his crimes and the fact that a lot of his wealth is fake as well.
Andrew Tate has also publicly expressed his disdain for paying taxes and described evasive behaviors: In a video, Tate stated: “When I lived in England I refused to pay tax.”
This is a BLATANT admission to evasion of taxes. Like I said, he has admitted all of his crimes on CAMERA. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that he’s a horrible person and guilty of everything he’s done. You can literally watch like a few clips of him and tell what kind of person he is. This is if you have common sense and critical thinking.
He even further explained his approach: “Ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away.”
"I like Eastern Europe as a whole because corruption is far more accessible," he said. "I find it offensive that a police officer in England will stop me and refuse to take a bribe." His own words.
Contradictions in Tate’s statements about his webcam business also prove he’s a pathological liar and is guilty:
In an interview, Tristan claimed they no longer operated the webcam business.
However, in a 2020 interview, Andrew Tate stated: “I’ve been running a webcam studio for nearly a decade.”
Turns out you’re just brainwashed and full of yourself. Who knew.
