MODERATORS
They equate money with competence ignoring the fact that a lot of his money was illegally made.
Money == sex.
As long as women keep throwing themselves at people like Andrew Tate, men are going to look up to him.
He's a human trafficker and a rapist. The women in his videos don't have a choice but to do what he says.
You’re not wrong. But it shifts the blame to women when the onus should be on men to to be responsible.
It's not about being "responsible." Andrew Tate isn't "responsible" and women throw themselves at him.
It's about money. Andrew Tate has a lot of it, so he gets a lot of sex.
It's what encourages men to be as shitty as possible in order to make as much money as possible.
I don’t feel like explaining. It’s capitalism. Patriarchy serves capitalism.
Umm, then why do women prefer to have sex with wealthy men over regular ones?
How Patriarchy and Capitalism Combine to Aggravate the Oppression of Women. If people had the time to read more, a lot of these problems would go away.
Why don't women do something to change it?
Why do they still encourage each other to have sex with the richest men possible?
Because women don’t control society- Patriarchy. But they need security- capitalism.
It's not security, it's greed. Lol.
Which is what makes capitalism go brrr. If you were a woman, which would offer more security for your future; a man making 30k, or a man worth 5 million?
Yes, and valuing wealthy men over regular men encourages regular men to be as scummy as possible to gain more wealth. It also enables wealthy men to have shitty personalities because they know they will still get laid.
This has been my point from the very beginning, I'm not sure why you keep replying to me.
Because it’s capitalism. Not the women. Get rid of capitalism and equalize their choices. Take away their need for security, and everyone gets laid.
They could get rid of capitalism overnight by going after poor men instead of rich ones.
When everyone is rich, no one is.
