Australian teachers quit over Andrew Tate
Why are misogynistic influencers such as Andrew Tate reaching so many young men? And with some devastating consequences?
For some time, an alarming number of Australian boys have engaged with, and looked up to, misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate.
This week, the conversation about misogyny and the “manosphere” has resurfaced.
Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek has accused Nine’s reality TV show Married At First Sight of platforming coercive control and misogyny, Netflix has released Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere, and fresh research suggests roughly 40 per cent of teenage boys surveyed agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.
Tate’s influence is warping classroom conversation, driving female peers to the fringe of discussion and even causing some teachers to quit.
