The Newest Tutorial on TikTok by Andrew Tate: How to Beat Up Women - Mediummagazine

“I’m so glad I grew up without the internet or social media” is a phrase that most teenagers and young adults have probably heard from their older family members on various occasions. Blaming social media for all our current problems is certainly a little too simple, but when making these statements, our parents and grandparents have a point – a bigger one than we like to admit. Even as a 21-year-old, I catch myself thinking “I’m so lucky TikTok wasn’t around when I was at high school.” Because back then, I never would have imagined that a man whose exact words are “This MeToo era bullshit has not protected women, it has just destroyed the safety of men” has 4.5million followers on Instagram and videos that are viral all over TikTok.
If you haven’t heard of Andrew Tate before reading this article, congratulations, your TikTok feed must be one of the non-contaminated ones. And also, sorry for making you read through the following quotes of his.

The Infamous Andrew Tate & His Degradation of Women
Andrew Tate is earning his money as a self-proclaimed entrepreneur running the “Hustler’s University” and teaching young men how to become wealthy and (mis)treat women. While his videos have only recently gone viral, Tate is not entirely new to the internet. In 2016, the former kickboxer was thrown off Big Brother after a video was published of Tate beating a woman with a belt. According to Tate, everything was of course completely consensual.
After his house was raided by UK authorities on behalf of a woman claiming that Tate had hit her, Tate decided to leave for Romania under the pressure of the investigation. Tate explains in a video that if you’re a man living in any Western country, any woman can destroy your life, but “in Eastern Europe none of this garbage flies”. He also states that one of his reasons for living in Romania is that “I’m not a f**king rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want”.
And this is the same guy who now teaches teenage boys how to talk to women on TikTok – with an ever-growing audience.
How is it possible that a man, known as the King of Toxic Masculinity, has reached high popularity among social media users based on the fact that he degrades women? The 35-year-old has gone viral making statements like “The reason 18 and 19-year-olds are more attractive than 25-year-olds is ‘cause they’ve been through less dick” or “If you live exclusively just with a chick, you’re not going to be as competitive as a man”. It seems to me as though especially now, parents have every right to be concerned about their teenage boys’ social media consumption given that they’re learning that women are less worthy than men, nothing more than a possession and that men make themselves too vulnerable if living in a monogamous relationship. Another TikTok video shows him lying on a bed, explaining how to choke a woman and then force her to have sex with you.
