Mary McNamara: Andrew Tate isn't an alpha male. He's a whiny internet huckster

If Andrew Tate is anyone's ideal of masculinity, we are in bigger trouble than I thought.

On top of all the misogyny, racism, homophobia and classism the kickboxing champion and internet huckster has embraced as his brand, he's just such a whiner.

Seriously. Any time anything goes wrong in Tate's life — like, say, when he was kicked off all mainstream social media platforms last year for saying, among other things, that women bear "some responsibility" for being raped or when, just recently, he and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania in connection with human trafficking and rape allegations, he whimpers that there's an interplanetary conspiracy against him.
