On 24 October, in the year of Our Lord 2023, online manfluencer and alleged sex offender Andrew Tate wrote on X/Twitter: “I reject women who have slept with more than 3 men. Vile.”

Heterosexual and boy-curious girls, memorise the date, for it was with that tweet and from that moment that at least two millennia of cultural slutshaming came to an official end. Andrew Tate is a nasty misogynist, a vacuous braggart and facing charges of rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. It is now in the interests of your health and safety to add at least four penis-shaped notches to your bedpost to ward him off – although you really should bang however many lads that take your fancy in order to be perfectly sure.
