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.”
Tradwife content is on the rise for women as well, more and more young people are buying into this mythical simpler past as the world gets more complex, alienating and difficult.
I can understand that but how come being a webcam girl and endure physical and psychological abuse fit in the “tradwife” narrative? It’s particularly support for Tate what I can’t understand
mythical simple past but they wouldn’t put down the fucking phone. anything but the phone!!
(regardless of gender)
I guess they never had new technology in the past.
Sorry if a dumb question but what is a “tradwife”? (Not a native speaker)
It is a shortening of “Traditional wife” as in a wife who complies with the old male/female value system. IE the man works and provides for and protects the family while the woman stays at home, cooks, cleans the house, watches the kids, does not talk back to her man because he is the head of the family and runs shit. Her job basically is to make life easier for him and raise his kids.
I’m reminded of the inspiration behind the Rust programming language.
“Rust is very much a language inspired from the past to save the future from itself.”
Sorry, rampant consumerism has been detrimental to our species as a whole. Now no matter how much we have, it’s never enough.
I’m glad people are fighting back against this ‘new normal’ that really only exists to funnel as much money as possible to the people at the top.
Also, if you leave Western nations you’ll see that this “mythical simpler past” is still alive and well. The rest of the world is looking at the West like we’re crazy, and most of us are. It’s called hysteria.
