"Tate teaches men to be ruled by insecurity, to control everyone and everything. With the prevalence of mental health issues affecting young men, you can see the appeal.
We are in the middle of a referendum on what it means to be a man. I sense many young men feel the world is telling them what masculinity is – including a shouting Tate – without bothering to ask them or listen to their thoughts. You’d be surprised by how open to discussion many of his fans are, and how critical they can be when they are faced with Tate’s views without the bravado.
Listening a little more to what men actually think, and how they can navigate a new world steeped in equity rather than domination, might make the future for Tate and those like him a little less secure."
