A reminder: The ground rules
  • Listen to others - Please do not talk over each other. It is ok to disagree, but we should not make assumptions and when we disagree, we need to challenge the statement not the person
  • Respect and privacy - Use respectful language and body language. Discuss examples but do not use people’s names or identify anyone inside or outside of the classroom
  • No Judgement - We can explore beliefs and misunderstandings about a topic without fear of being judged
  • Level of participation - Do not put anyone ‘on the spot’; everyone has the right to choose not to answer a question or join a discussion if it feels too difficult
  • Seeking help - Anyone who feels they need to discuss a particular topic further may see their tutor at the end of the session

Why are we talking about him now?

Are all of Tate's comments like this?
Tate often hides his misogynistic views within ‘populist’ ideas (ideas that most people will agree with.) For example, much of this content taps into insecurities about body image and agency.

He also focuses a lot on stereotyping men and their success, and gets the attention of young people by talking about his “money, success and power”.

Match up the key words with the definition:
Term
Definition
This stands for "involuntarily celibate." It is often used to describe a person (usually a man) who is unable to find a romantic or sexual partner, despite wanting one. Some people who identify in this category have formed online communities where they discuss their difficulties with finding partners and sometimes express misogyny and other hateful views.
This refers to beliefs or actions that are far outside the norm or mainstream. It can refer to any extreme ideology, such as religious extremism or political extremism.

A set of cultural or social traits traditionally associated with men or boys, such as strength, courage, and aggression. It can also refer to qualities or characteristics that a person (male or female) exhibits which are considered traditionally masculine, such as competitiveness or assertiveness. Think about why this might be ‘toxic’ or harmful.

The hatred or dislike of women, or the belief that women are inferior to men. It can manifest in many different ways, such as through sexist language and behaviours, discrimination against women, or violence against women.

This is an extreme and prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own group, especially men over women. It can manifest as an attitude of superiority or entitlement based on gender, and can also involve the belief that one gender is naturally better suited for certain roles or tasks.

Let's hear his views
He says we’re not all the same – this is clearly true. So why is he then talking about women as if they are all the same?

You may privately agree with him about this – you may feel that women do indeed tend to be more emotional and that men make better pilots. That’s ok. But let’s break down the argument…

Do you think you would have been able to complete the challenge? 
The facts:
  • Charlene and Jill did not succeed because they are women.
  • Babatunde did not fail because he is a man.
  • Their gender was irrelevant to the task.
  • We all have different things that we are afraid of, different things that we are good at.
  • We are all different.

Stereotyping
  • When Andrew tate says he wouldn’t want a female pilot, he is stereotyping – in other words saying “all women are like this…”
  • What other examples of stereotyping can you think of?
  • Stereotypes treat people who share one particular characteristic, such as gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, as if they are all the same
  • It’s as illogical as saying people who share the same eye colour are all the same – look around and see if that is true!

Why does all this matter?
  • Stereotyping can lead to prejudice, discrimination, hate or even violence. Let’s go back to the female pilot as an example and see what might have happened if she’d experienced misogyny:

  • Sexist Name-called by boys at school may have made her believe girls can’t be good at science and stopped her ambition in its tracks
  • The Prejudiced views of the university admissions board could have prevented her getting a place on the aeronautical engineering degree
  • Misogynistic Discrimination by the recruitment team for the flight company could have prevented her from getting the job
  • Online Hate meant people might have attacked her on social media, undermining her confidence
  • Extremist views may have led to someone physically threatening or hurting her because she is a woman in a ‘man’s world’
