This may sound like a joke, but it’s seriously affecting boys of this generation.Teachers are alarmed by how much Andrew Tate’s message has resonated with teenage boys.

“Andrew Tate grew his brand online, racking up millions of young followers with his flashy lifestyle and version of “masculinity” while going unnoticed by most parents and teachers.

Today the British influencer, who appeared on the celebrity television show Big Brother, is in a Romanian prison as part of an investigation into organised crime, rape and human trafficking.

As Tate, who denies the allegations, waits to find out what will happen next, the misogynistic philosophy he has built is still thriving among social media followers. In the real world the effect has been significant.”
