I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest they meant "his partner Louise".
Yeah, looks like they forgot a word.
I'm surprised it's rape if it's "his Louise".
What the fuck?
Interesting interpretation. Given that is exactly way rape within marriage did not exist in the UK until the 1990s.
IE a wife was historically considered property. And this is to some extent the issue with the tate attitude.
PS I am in no way suggesting you think that. Just pointing out how coincidental the typo / missed word is.
PS be sure to confirm your body parts concent next time you feel lonely ;)
I was listening to the report on Radio 4 - the murders were heart-breaking enough but throwing Andrew Tate into the mix made me want to cry. It just feels like all the (albeit limited) progress that we've made over the last few decades is slipping between out fingers like sand and I am worried for the young generation of boys growing up with this constantly in the background, as well as the young women who have to navigate that minefield. Hopefully, this will help to underline quite how corrosive this kind of thing is but I don't know how you push back against it effectively, although the Men's Lib movement might be part of it.
I'd be okay with banning social media at this point. It's been weaponised by our enemies and it's only going to get worse now that the US has been taken by Nazis and Russians.
I'd be fine with smaller forums run by nerds on their own servers.
Yeah ultimately the reason misogyny needs to be taken so seriously is shit like this and the overturn of women's rights in some countries.
That said, misogynistic violence is not new and it hasn't been dormant. You have incidents like the shit what's his name, the incel with a crush on his sister who shot a bunch of people in California like a decade ago and you can draw a clear line from the École Polytechnique massacre through it to here with many other stops along the way.
Tate is telling boys and young men that they aren't real men unless they feel entitled to women and act on it. Incels had similar entitlement leading to Jordan Peterson's "enforced monogamy" stance.
