Andrew Tate Quotes

[On how he would respond to a woman if she accused him of adultery.] It's bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up bitch.

Internet sensationalism has purported the idea that im [sic] anti women when nothing could be further from the truth. (statement to The Guardian)

It appears the insanity of the ruling elite is exposed worldwide now. They have one command, do not speak out, behave as sheep.

[On his assertion women are men's property.] I'm not saying they're property [...] I am saying they are given to the man and belong to the man.

And Tate fed into that by saying, "Hang on, what's wrong with being a bloke? What's wrong in male culture? What's wrong in male humour?" He fed into those things. His was a campaign of raising awareness, his was a campaign of giving people perhaps a bit of confidence at school or whatever it was to speak up.

It is no secret that the internet is awash with ugly and harmful content. However, it is rare when someone like Andrew Tate rises to become one of the most famous people on social media because of their harmful content.
While many are already speaking out against Tate, there is a legion of (primarily male) supporters who consume, venerate and share his dangerous content.
Here in the UK, it is not an exaggeration to say that many young students returning to school at the end of the summer holidays will have seen something produced by Andrew Tate. The effect that Tate’s brand of vitriolic misogyny can have on the young male audience is deeply concerning. His content is widely celebrated by his fans for having brought back "traditional masculinity".
However, we also know that misogyny can be a gateway to other extreme and discriminatory views, and there is a serious danger that some people, sucked in by his sexist content, will align with his wider far-right politics.

We had a good chat, Tate and I, but the guy gives me the horrors. Not all the time, but enough of the time, I simply hate what he thinks. If I had a son, I'd hate the thought of him being exposed to it, and I’m far from wild about my daughters having to deal with teenage boys who have soaked it in. I even agonised about whether I ought to do this interview. Although if the most googled man on the planet can't be written about in a newspaper, then I’m honestly not sure what any of us are here for.

I'm a realist and when you're a realist you're sexist. There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist. (same YouTube video)

This is a set-up. It is absolutely disgusting. Thirty of those girls say we have done nothing wrong. Two are the mothers of our children.

[On his move to Romania, avoiding rape charges being "probably 40% of the reason"] I'm not a rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free.

Tate was a very important voice for an emasculated ... you three guys, you are all 25, you are all kind of being told you can't be blokes, you can't do laddish, fun, bloke things ... That's almost what you're being told. That masculinity is something we should look down upon, something we should frown upon. It's like the men are becoming feminine and the women are becoming masculine and it's a bit difficult to tell these days who's what.

playing a comedic character (statement to The Guardian)

[He] maybe took that alter-ego of masculinity too far in his relationships with women.

Men are expected to spend their lives working for women and children that are not their own. They can be ejected from a marriage at any time, for any reason, and by default will lose their children in the process. It is little wonder that, as in the Roman Empire, “marriage became unfashionable, especially among the men—but perhaps it would be more just to say that marriage on these terms was despised, for there seemed to be few advantages to be gained, many to be lost” (Unwin 1934). Conservative commentators often lament this attitude and blame influencers like Andrew Tate, but they confuse the cause for the effect. Men didn’t suddenly change their attitude towards marriage; marriage itself changed and men’s attitudes have slowly adjusted to the new reality. Browbeating and hectoring (“man up!”) cannot replace the old incentives.

[In a video for Hustler's University, considered a scam by the media, on how to gain further recruits via online comments.] What you ideally want is a mix of 60-70 per cent fans and 30-40 per cent haters [...] You want arguments, you want war.
