Tate’s arrest doesn’t change the fact countless men + boys are being radicalised by mini-Tate’s like Connor below.
Lured into online communities, young men are taught to ‘reclaim’ an abusive form masculinity harmful to men + women. We need positive male role models to speak out.
Communities these ‘leaders’ like Tate + Connor offer are often closed/paid, allowing a safe and secure place to radicalise young men and boy without threat of being targeted themselves. We can only tackle these abusive incel ideologies with male icons speaking out against them.
The work of women like @karenwhybro who highlights dangerous men like Connor, are so important in this space.
These men create abusive online and real life environments for women.
What does wanting to learn more from Connor’s videos look like to young men and boys?
Well, this is what his link on his Tiktok bio takes you to 👇🏻
And this is the closed Facebook group he runs that cultivates and spreads these misogynistic and harmful views against men and women…
Incel ideologies are now franchise toolkits for men to be their own content driven creators making money off of confused angry men and boys, ready to be engaged by big personalities and be armed with masculinities that abuse men and women.
We cannot ignore other ‘leaders’ like Connor. We need positive male role models/icons to recognise this threat, actively speak out against them + show healthy forms of masculinity.
The repercussions of ignoring these lost men and boys are immeasurably dangerous to women and men.
Also, Connor is a flat-earther, so will be equipped to help ensure our men and boys don’t walk off the edge of the world.
For anyone confused about Connor’s content and why it’s bad (yes, there are some), please be clear that this is coercive and controlling behaviour. It is the most insidious form of domestic abuse and was made a criminal offence in England & Wales in 2015.👇🏻womensaid.org.uk/information-su…

As misogynists are confronted, false idols come out pretending to be our saviours. Case in point, Chris Hemmings.
Chris has threatened court action against MULTIPLE women who accused him of abusing them.
Here, he plays on teachers’ fears and pushes to teach more schoolboys?!
Those unaware of Chris might recognise him from this clip that went viral after he twisted the producers arms to get on air (confirm by ex-BBC sources). He was told not to share it. He did anyway because he wants power and control. Don't be fooled👇🏻
Here's some photos of Chris teaching schoolboys about how to be better men, taught by a man who silences women who speak out against him.
@GretaThunberg Immense burn. Thoughts and prayers to Tate’s manhood, or lack thereof. Wake up men, this is not the hero you are looking for.
@GretaThunberg Tate’s ideologies harm men and women. His big personality ropes you in, he shows you his wealth and calls you weak, he then challenges you to take power and to control women. Your attention gives him more power, money and influence, your life turns into serving him. Wake. Up.
@GretaThunberg Tate: "If you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must bare some responsibility.”
On how he’d attack a woman accusing him of cheating:
“It’s bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up bitch”
Netflix has been accused of re-traumatising both William and Harry by depicting the final moments of their mother's life and the walk behind her coffin in S5. Now they are recreating the Bashir interview that William called to never be aired again.
“It is my firm view that this Panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again.
“It effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialised by the BBC and others."
- Prince William, Dyson Report statement.
"My mother driving, being chased by three, four, five mopeds with paparazzi on. She was almost unable to drive because of the tears.”
“Being too young. Being a guy, but too young to be able to help a woman. In this case, your mother.
🧵A servicewoman in the armed forces was reprimanded by Royal Military Police for “sleeping around” when she reported rape.
Two servicewomen who suffered sexual abuse speak out about their experiences of the Service Justice System after being forced out 👇🏻thetimes.co.uk/article/don-t-…
Sophie Brook, 30, revealed a culture of misogyny in the Submarine Service as she described how women were ranked on a “rape list” during her time as a lieutenant. Admiral Sir Ben Key, the first sea lord, said the allegations of abuse were “abhorrent”.
In the 12 months to March this year, 68.3 per cent of rape cases heard in civilian courts secured a conviction. But of the 111 rape cases brought to court martial from 2016 to 2020, only 12 have ended in a guilty verdict — equating to a conviction rate of just over 10 per cent.
🧵The govt must tackle the abuse of the Child Maintenance Service, a scheme that victims say is being used against them as a means of continuing #economicabuse and #coercivecontrol.
"We are really concerned the CMS doesn't support survivors of domestic abuse.
"We hear a lot of stories from people who phone our helpline or who speak to us, where they feel...their ex partner is using the CMS to perpetuate the abuse, to perpetuate coercive control.
Increasingly, men online are being radicalised in cult-like followings to believe they are emasculated and forgotten. Recruited en masse to reassert their authority through misogyny + coercive control of women, we cannot ignore them, we must challenge them.inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
Some great discussion points by Robert Lawson, Associate Professor in Sociolinguistics, @MyBCU as well as pointing to the brilliant work of @hopenothate who have helped publish advice on how to combat radicalisation in schools.
