"[T]he MAGA movement is about sexual grievance, even more than racial resentment," writes conservative David Frum. "It is an expression of male disgruntlement that depends on the votes of men " not just any men, but those who feel disrespected and undervalued."

Andrew Tate offers unhappy men an exciting fantasy: They don't need education or challenging work; they don't need families or children; instead, they can fulfill themselves by dominating and brutalizing women. In this scenario, women will do the chores and provide sexual favors to order, while men can be little sultans ruling their harems as they harden their hearts against empathy and love.
"Why MAGA Likes Andrew Tate: The same reason Trump likes tariffs: Both aim to put women in their place."
