[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you raise a person without the discernment to see this guy for what he is? Not snarking you. I have an 8 year old and want to do better.[/quote]

You’re absolutely snarking me. So far you’re not doing better.  [/quote]

It’s a valid question IMO. My kid would never in a million years support this sexist charlatan. He recognizes that the way he talks about and treats women is vile. What values did you instill if he listens to anything that misogynist says and thinks it is true?[/quote]

DP.  My teenaged son despises Andrew Tate and is gleeful tonight over Tate’s arrest.  I have worked hard to instill the foundational values that led him to despise Tate, but I am not so arrogant as to assume he could never (and will never) go a different way.  As parents we don’t have 100% control over what they are exposed to, or what they will choose to do with that.

To be honest, I don’t love how gleeful my son is about the situation tonight, because they allegations against Tate are so awful, no one should be taking joy in this situation.  I worry that he’s lost sight of the fact that this happened because women were victimized and brutalized.  It’s not too slippery a slope from overlooking women as victims in this to seeing women as less than human, just like Tate does. [/quote]
