I would argue violent porn and misogyny in society are the soil that has allowed Tate to grow,’ she says. ‘It’s a deeper problem, but what we can do as teachers is make young boys feel empowered to call out sexism and racism in their mates.

[41] My older twins both play football, and I was stunned by the physical rough play,’ she says. ‘Lots of shoving, really dirty fouls. I raised it to the school and I was disappointed with the “boys will be boys” response I received. It was odd that this sort of behaviour was just left to go unchallenged.’

Victoria adds she’d not personally seen more sexist behaviour at St James’s in the wake of Tate’s rising infamy, but some care was needed around more vulnerable boys who had swallowed up his diatribe.

Dennis, a public-high-school teacher living in Brooklyn, calls the atmosphere in his mostly white classrooms “the New Victorianism.” Everyone wears baggy hoodies and sweats. It’s the fashion, as if no one wants to risk gender or body presentation. But it’s more than that. Dennis believes children live in two worlds, and the real world is “constantly hidden” on their phones. They are anxious and inhibited, fearing censure or punishment, about saying what they really want or think, and so they share their unmasked selves on finsta with a small, curated group. School, which used to be a noisy place, has become quiet. Timothy, a public-high-school teacher in a majority Hispanic and Asian community in Queens, echoes Dennis. He says that in school, boys complain to him, “I can’t be me.” Liles, Jordan (December 30, 2022). "Did Andrew Tate's Video of a Jerry's Pizza Box Lead to His Arrest?". Snopes.

He has been present when adults at school — parents, teachers, or administrators — talk about boys as “inherently dangerous,” reflexively wanting to “contain” or “control” them for the smallest hallway infraction so that a minor conflict doesn’t blow up into a big one. These adults talk about “safety” and “accountability” — ostensibly to protect other students, but really to protect themselves from legal or reputational consequences. Dennis believes that hardly any straight boy has the language to speak truthfully about how he envisions romance, dating, or sex because “they know if they say it aloud, someone will censure them or say they are encouraging rape culture.” So they confess their dreams to him in private in his office. And what they say is “I want to make a lot of money. I want the life I want. I want to be free.” Dennis adds, “It feels very Bret Easton Ellis.

Since the release of the 1999 sci-fi film about people living in a simulation, where a man is given the choice to take a red pill and “wake up”, the metaphor has been repeatedly repurposed in a range of conspiracy theories, as well by fringe online groups who use “redpill” to mean men waking up to the “reality” that feminism subjugates them. David is doubtful that Tate has the longevity to keep young boys intrigued for much longer, but Victoria is less optimistic. She believes the beliefs and behaviours evident in Tate’s ramblings are sadly more deeply ingrained in society.
