BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate, the polarizing influencer known for his controversial views, recently utilized the platform 'X' (formerly Twitter) as a platform to denounce weakness as a global epidemic.
He asserted that the world greatly requires the presence of strong men.
Tate's comments often have generated significant backlash from social media users who have frequently criticized his conception of masculinity, characterizing it as toxic and as normalizing misogynistic ideals in today's society.
Andrew Tate calls out weak men
In his discussion on denouncing weakness as the current global epidemic, Tate chose to highlight a segment from one of his 'Emergency Meeting' podcasts.
In this clip, Tate confidently stated, "A woman is in a night club and then she feels threatened. The first thing she does is say to the man, 'I have a boyfriend.' She invents a man to protect her, an imaginary man. The idea that you don't need a man and that's somehow going to make you safer is asinine."
Tate went on in the clip, emphasizing, "Because weak cowardly men will sit there and do nothing while little girls are stabbed to death on a bus. I would have done something. You understand? Stab me, fine. I'm not a coward."
Furthermore, he expressed, "The real epidemic on this earth is weakness. All these 'men.' Accepting b**ch position, afraid to speak up against the mob, and selfishly just trying to get by. The world needs STRONG men, now more than ever."
