More and more men are being sucked into parts of the internet that circulate misogynist content, leaving their families to deal with the wreckage

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.”

    They want to go back to this time where women had no rights in society at all and were completely owned by their father and then their husband.

    Eh? Where is this one coming from?

    Right? Especially when some of the Red Pill’s most fundamental teachings say almost the exact opposite: that marriage was a transactional arrangement that women managed to Welch out of over the last two centuries, while continuing to nail men to the wall over if they failed to hold their end of the bargain.

    Because when you really look at that transactional arrangement as it was used for centuries, almost all of women’s obligations to the contract have been rescinded, yet almost all of men’s obligations to the contract continue to be enforced. And violently so, by “daddy state”.

    Now, how is this in any way fair? It isn’t. If this were any normal contract, a judge would throw it out in a heartbeat for being grossly biased in women’s favour.

    And yet, women continue to scream “misogyny” every time men try to re-establish balance/equality in that arrangement, either by restoring women’s obligations, or by reducing their own obligations.

    And that isn’t “equality” in any shape or form.

    include being anti-feminist

    Any man dedicated to true equality should now consider that term to be a pejorative, as it has become a thin veneer of legitimacy over an ocean of anti-male gender bigotry.

    I am the true threat to feminism: I am an egalitarianist. because if there is one thing that throws feminists into frothing rages, it’s true equality.
