The Trump campaign’s rhetoric about women is very similar to Andrew Tate’s
The campaign of Donald Trump is defending the misogynists Andrew Tate and the women who don’t want children: How serious are they?
There were a number of motives behind the move when Donald Trump announced that his running mate was an Ohio senator. It was a nod to rich supporters like Vance’s patron, Peter Thiel; a way to present the electorate with a more youthful face than Trump’s; and a play for the working-class voters around whom Vance grew up, as he wrote about in his bestselling book Hillbilly Elegy.
People who are in violent marriages should not be allowed to get divorced. The unborn fetus in a pregnant woman because of rape and incest is seen as ‘inconvenient.’ According to reports, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said it is immoral to have children because of climate change concerns. (She did not say this.) Adults with children should get extra votes, according to a 2021, speech by Vance.
Vance and the Trump campaign have dismissed these remarks as taken out of context, but like many other comments related to women that Vance, Trump, and their allies have made, they do not exist in a vacuum. They almost perfectly reflect the rhetoric of accused rapist and human trafficker Andrew Tate and members of the online misogynist community. Tate, the most influential and popular member of a group of professional misogynists, denied the allegations against him. The campaign of Trump is not just repeating misogynist talking points, but is also trying to get the votes of a group that has a history of trying to appeal.
Examples abound. In an episode removed from its YouTube channel, Tate called women who don’t want kids “miserable stupid bitches” and said that life without children is pointless. If you think you can work your ass off through your fertile years and then by 54 you will be ok, then you are dumb.
Trump has made derogatory comments about Harris, including calling her a “bitch”, as well as women, “dumb”, and “low IQ” on multiple occasions. In the last month alone, Trump has called Harris stupid and low IQ at rallies and on social media. Trump once referred to former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman as a “crazed, crying lowlife.” He referred to her as a dog.
What Makes a Man? The Case of Tim Walz in the Rise of Women and Girls in the era of the Internet and Black Lives
“The irony is that this was supposed to be an election about women and about women’s rights. And of course, it still is.” Reeves says, “But it’s striking to me how much of the debate and so much of the performance, almost of the election so far, has actually been about competing views about masculinity and manhood.”
This summer, philanthropist Melinda French Gates distributed $1 billion to causes supporting women and girls. Reeves was surprised when his institute received some of that money.
She realized that a world of men who are not functioning is not likely to be a world of flourishing women and that we need to rise together. He told Morning Edition that if men start struggling to do their job on the home front, it’s not like women will be unscathed.
Girls are less likely to attend college than boys due to the fact that boys perform worse in school than girls. Boys go on to live worse lives as a result, according to his analysis.
Reeves says Republican demonstrations of masculinity have become more performative, with increased bravado and machismo. This shift is evident in who has introduced Trump at past Republican National Conventions. Dana White, the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship introduced him at the convention instead of Trump’s daughter who introduced him at the two previous conventions.
He also highlights the significance of Harris choosing Governor Tim Walz as her running mate to contrast Trump’s style of masculinity. It’s good to see if they follow up with any policies. But a high school coach, a high school teacher—there’s a way in which Tim Walz is embodying a more service-oriented form of masculinity.”
“There are very many different ways of being masculine. But I would say that the longest and best established definition of masculinity that I found as I’ve done this work is really of being of service to others, of being of for more than yourself.”
According to Reeves, the ability to provide more than you need for your own survival is what distinguishes a man from a boy. It conjures up the idea of a family as a great one, though it is not necessarily that way.

Gen Z Demographics and Why Young Men Are Less Opportunistic than They Used To Be: A Commentary on the “Revisited Report of the Commission on the Young Left and Right”
According to recent polling, more men are going to vote Republican. But even among the younger demographic of Gen Z, women are heavily Democratic, while men are more likely to lean Republican.
Young women are more likely to go to the left than the right as a result of this, but what’s intriguing about this is the attitudes of Gen Z men. If anything, they’re more supportive.”
He says that people on the left are making a mistake by believing that young men are turning towards the right when it could be just as easily being a turn away from the left.
If young men feel that they aren’t being heard, they will be open to the right, and that’s because of their lack of belonging.
