Tbh it really feels like that Andrew Tate / Adin Ross / Jake Paul crowd is really impacting things

[JustHoran]

The amount of Tiktok guys who stan Andrew Tate has BEEN concerning to me

In general, I believe gendered socialization influences how girls tend to adopt more liberal traits, such as being kind, caretakers, and peacemakers, while boys often lean towards conservative traits, like being perceived as strong, suppressing emotions, and being skilled in fighting. This can explain why girls often become the primary friends of gay boys during school years, with few straight boys in the mix. Over time, these distinctions usually blur as boys learn they can't solve everything through fighting, and girls discover their voices, especially with the impact of social media. But with this rise of social, the hyper-conservative traits taught to boys that they usually grow out of are being amplified by figures like Andrew Tate, Red-Pill, and the Manosphere through their content. It’s sad.

The Andrew Tate effect

[AintNoOtherMe]

Girls are more prone to influence and peer pressure

 

[Armani?]

Young Men still vote majority Democrat so this is more about the underlying label of liberal being associated as "non masculine"

[Robert]

The far right are trying very hard to radicalise young men, just look at Andrew Tate and Elon Musk. 

[Sugden]

i mean is this realy shocking

men and teen men expecially love to be edge lords

[Cain]

The more marginalized group wanting a political party that betters their rights while the privileged group wants a political party that wants to keep the status quo intact?

Shocking

Remember when they were killing infant girls in China in the 80s/90s? Maybe we should switch it to western boys, for the better future

And with the portraying of men in the Barbie movie the data is to be expected.

[imabadkid]

not surprising. it's part of the right-wing grievance machine. TBH as women continue to advance, make money, become educated, etc. more men will go over to the right side.

[Beyonnaise]

I think the answer is probably more aspirational, positive influencers who are masc bodybuilder types but not toxic. It's not like these boys are so profoundly moved by the intellectual rigor of Tate. They just see that he's rich and muscular, and then take his word as gospel.

[Happylittlepunk]

Men in general tend to be more conservative it’s natural thing. 
 

however if we talking politically it’s not like liberals have made an effort to be make things more easier or accepting of men. Especially in a world were a lot issues for young men are not being taking seriously. We’re are the liberal voices at trying to help young guys? Andre Tate and other right wing conservatives are getting attention cause they are the ones talking about it. But I don’t think seriously you guys are ready talk about it.

Just curious, are you male?

[Digitalism]

I find it funny that you think people like Andrew Tate are the reason this is happening. Men have always been horrible  (it's the reason Andrew, Jake Paul,etc which are from an older generation exist) they were just afraid to talk about it in public now it's cool to show it. 

[Sylpher]

Not surprised. The Left is openly anti-male at this point.

Actually they're standing up for themselves against the misandrist Left.

[DeepEnd]

Men are pathetic

[Dessy]

Honestly I find the fact that ~65% didn't answer from the two options more interesting. This poll say something but not the whole story
