  1. Well as a result of the huge promotion campaign by the feminists I have had a look into the Andrew Tate world. Which on my brief research appears to be of a piece with the Kardashians etc. world, where women do anything and everything to be “sexy” and “get a quality man “, the latter apparently to be rich, fit and rich and… well rich, fit and with a penchant for buying houses, cars and lots of gifts. So rather than look at the whole issue, and maybe tackle the whole issue of superficial narcissism of celebrity culture. The remedy appears to be to accuse boys of being “base” and finding “role models” to inspire them to be gentlemen https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/labours-plan-tackle-misogyny-isnt-32227587 And of course meanwhile leaving alone the huge media circus and “influencers” driving the entitled narcissism of young women, such as Bianca Censori.
    In both cases Polly Hudson illustrates the likely failure of the supposed new policy, by quoting two movie stars, one 46 and the other 55, who are not likely to considered “cool” (or whatever is current teen slang) by 14 year olds.
    As I recall at that age I was hugely into Marc Bolam, Bowie, “progressive rock” and so on precisely because they were considered way beyond the pale ( and the lyric sheets had to be hidden from your mum). My school was visited by an “old” Cliff Richard, no doubt to present a good role model. But of course to us he was completely old in every way! So I’m sure a school sponsored set of “role models” explicitly setting out to address boy’s “base” nature and declaring Andrew Tate (are there any other similar????) the anti christ (well the anti feminist) has every prospect of success! Particularly if no one is addressing the matching sets of influencers and tik tock stars advocating girls get sexy and get themselves millions by looking “sexy” and bagging a rich guy. As far as I can see there will simply be a boom for Mr. Tate.

  2. another useless labour idea that refuses to tackle the root of all these issues. In other news, labour plans to introduce raneem law which is a sly backdoor way of introducing more legislation and police officers to tackle domestic violence.. by men, rather than just anyone( women included) ,a little read of the media and you will see it peppered with the usual VAWG grievances industry rather than you know…equality for all !, notice that Harriet wistrich manages to stick her oar in about DV by men and demanding the police need more training, I wonder who by? (whilst at the same time ignoring the highest preponderance of DV among same sex women relationships). Suspect it a courting move by labour in order to gain women’s( feminists) and Muslims vote( raneem law) which I consider will dishonour those who are genuinely abused( men and women) including raneem..
    Again, labour( and tories as well) have gone ostrich mode by refusing to see what is at the root of so much lack of reform in domestic violence. All the answers they can find in a mirror…
