In Focus 🔍 | Andrew Tate is the misogynistic influencer that's seemingly 'brainwashing' the next generation of men. Today Metro explores the measures schools are taking to tackle the 'Tate problem' 👇
: an impressive feat for a man whose extensively misogynistic views had seen him thrown off most social media platforms.
The easy accessibility young boys have to this type of content is a constant worry to Katy Walton, who is mum to four sons: twin boys aged 12, and another pair of twins who are six. ‘My older twins both play football, and I was stunned by the physical rough play,’ she says. ‘Lots of shoving, really dirty fouls. I raised it to the school and I was disappointed with the “boys will be boys” response I received. It was odd that this sort of behaviour was just left to go unchallenged.’
‘He’s basically this fantasy figure for them, flaunting tangible markers of success. He appeals to a lot of these insecurities I see in young men, and poses as if he has answers to questions they find too difficult to ask out loud.’ David adds that the hegemonic viewpoint social media tends to offer has flattened the landscape, with boys looking for a sense of belonging to a wider group.
Victoria Howard-Andrews, the head of PSHE at St James’, foresaw Tate’s sudden surge of popularity could potentially cause problems. ‘Sometimes, when they’re young, boys want to be a bit provocative and inflammatory,’ Victoria explains. ‘It doesn’t mean they condone that behaviour – they’re just figuring things out and want to test boundaries.
‘We’re lucky that we have the time and resources to do this for our students – not every school can guarantee that.’Victoria has also been keen to alert the students about the dangers of being radicalised online.
