More and more men are being sucked into parts of the internet that circulate misogynist content, leaving their families to deal with the wreckage

With surveys reporting that an increasing number of young men are subscribing to these beliefs, the number of women finding that their partners share the misogynistic views espoused by the likes of Andrew Tate is also on the rise. Research from anti-fascism organisation Hope Not Hate, which polled about 2,000 people across the UK aged 16 to 24, discovered that 41% of young men support Tate versus just 12% of young women.

“Numbers are growing, with wives worried about their husbands and partners becoming radicalised,” says Nigel Bromage, a reformed neo-Nazi who is now the director of Exit Hate Trust, a charity that helps people who want to leave the far right.

“Wives or partners become really worried about the impact on their family, especially those with young children, as they fear they will be influenced by extremism and racism.”

    I meant it the other way around. Feel free to block me for a mistake as you suggest in your follow up post.

        I sadly just don’t know anymore, and was ready to block and move on when this guy came back with some reasonable reason that doesn’t makes any sense at all…

        I read this, as you didn’t know, so you were going to block. I was informing you it was an error, but the quoted text didn’t read as you were waiting to find out before blocking.

        I guess I don’t get how folk just block something they disagree with. I understand blocking bad faith actors. I don’t understand not finding out if someone was operating in good faith or not. My intention is generally to assume folk are in good faith unless there is clear information to the contrary.
