The article is ok but missing some details and falls too easily into calling Tate a misogynist and not acknowledging women’s active role and self interest in working for Tate or seeking men like Tate as partners.

Tate may be charged with serious crimes, but his version was not explained. He defends himself by stating the women willingly worked on sex lines and knew what they were doing and earned good money. Some women find his type of alpha male very attractive and are prepared to be one of his multiple sex partners. Tate and other men find this proposing attractive, indeed, most male sexual fantasies comprise of having multiple willing sexual partners. Don’t blame Tate, blame evolution. Some women are keen on this arrangement to get better resources than other women even if the feminist sisterhood don’t approve.

However, this is not good for society in general and haven’t the sisterhood helped us get here. Men are undervalued. If girls surpass boys at school it is celebrating but not the other way round. So, sisters, admit you have some responsibility and some of your group use short term mating tactics and like the male attention in cling high paid sex work or sleeping only with the high status males wit nice cars. Perhaps you spent too much time blaming men for evolution and didn’t encourage men and women to curb their baser instincts for the good of all. The word misogynist trips off the tongue and means men like Tate and others are blamed and branded toxic. Easy moral pints to score but shouldn’t we all value men and women?
