An elite culture that denigrates masculinity creates a vacuum that empowers deviants like Andrew Tate.
It’s the question of the day. The above quotation propelled a 6,500-word essay in the Washington Post by columnist and author Christine Emba. It’s behind the online discourse over confirmed misogynist and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.For a generation, and particularly since the mid-2010s, the word masculinity rarely appeared in print without the preface — implicit or explicit — of “toxic.” The #MeToo movement and Donald Trump’s election created a moment where simply hating men was OK.
Young men, knowing that they were, in fact, different from women, and rejecting the notion that this difference made them “toxic,” have gone in search of a positive understanding of masculinity. The lucky ones landed on Jordan Peterson , while the unlucky ones landed on Andrew Tate. Emba, in the Washington Post, spent the length of a book chapter drawing her feminist and progressive readership toward acknowledging that there is such a thing as human nature and that it doesn’t always fit with a worldview based on radical autonomy and gender symmetry.
More directly, Emba states, “People need codes for how to be human.” This is subversive today. Former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, for one, infamously asserted that we all need to craft, from scratch, our own understanding of humanity.
