Children who grow up fatherless often lack the tools to thrive in a healthy environment. They are raised in survival mode, applying lessons learned from that mindset. Survival mode essentially means being in fight-or-flight mode all the time.

Take, for example, the hunter-gatherer era, where men in the tribe taught their children how to hunt and survive in the world. Imagine if one of those children had no male figures in their tribe. They would have to learn everything from scratch while also keeping the tribe alive at a very young age. This would force them to do whatever it takes to survive. The same principle applies to fatherless kids today—they often don’t have the tools for healthy living.

The real world is vicious, unempathetic, and hyper-competitive, and for men, it’s always a case of survival of the fittest. This isn’t true for women in the same way. However, these women, unaware of how the male world operates, raise their children—especially boys—as if they were girls. This sets the boys up for failure. They struggle to meet the requirements needed to be providers, which society often deems the primary role of being male. There’s a massive gap between how these boys are brought up and what society expects of them. As a result, they take different paths to bridge that gap and learn these skills. Some choose the wrong path, others the right one—it likely depends on their environment.

Because nothing comes easily to them, and they have to fight for every single thing, they become hardened and develop extremely polarizing views. These views aren’t fabricated; most of the time, they stem from their lived experiences. Similarly, Andrew Tate’s perspectives aren’t pulled from thin air, it is his own lived experiences. To take up his world view or not is upto each individual. Personally, I think some of his views are extreme.

The problem with women is that they don’t understand that the world has always been brutal—and always will be—for men, where survival of the fittest reigns. They have a huge disconnect from the male perspective, yet they still pressure men to conform to their way of living. What do you think?
