Will Trump Step in to Help the Manosphere’s Most Infamous Stars?
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the arrests of Andrew and Tristan Tate on the manosphere and the cultural impact of their brand of toxic masculinity.
The arrests of misogynist influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami have shaken the so-called manosphere and given hope to many women who say they were abused by the pair (allegations they strongly deny). While it appears Trump administration will not intervene in their extradition fight, there are still questions as to whether their brand of toxic masculinity is too deeply embedded in the culture to remove. We talk to a reporter who uncovered how the brothers allegedly exploited women and leveraged social media to make millions. Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and violence.
