Appealingly selfish, you mean. Nothing like providing an immature mind with role models who promote an ideology of irresponsibility, cruelty, entitlement, vengeance and total rejection of the rights of other human beings.

PLS can we have a gift link, @wsj.com ? We all deserve a glimpse into this pathology if we’ll ever redirect it toward becoming healthy men, in every sense of the word. A lot of us really are trying to understand how we go forward. 🚫 paywall!

If they really want to feel like rough-tough men, they should volunteer for the armed service of their choice.

"...confusing time...". Hardly.

Looks like bro forgot to put poligrip on his dentures and his uppers are falling out.

An all boys school, run by Catholics just now starting to timidly acknowledge a lot of their leaders/members routinely actively or passively hurt children & women, are raising boys who gravitate to people who routinely hurt & degrade women & children? Nope Can’t be right they follow the REAL GOD

That definitely should’ve been the headline yup

Seriously? They offer nothing but egotistical opinions. Narcissists that love the sound of their own voices. Anyone that takes them seriously is a moron.

Where’s the high school girl’s response? Nothing.

Report this article to bluesky for misinformation. Also fuck you wsj these men are scum 🖕🖕🖕

What on earth is appealingly simple about being a repulsive, violent misogynist? Where are such boys’ mothers, as well as their fathers… do they support the abuse of women? 🤔

What pathetic bullshit.

EVERY time I see his big dumb bald head

It’s a confusing time for idiots who desperately need to get away from their screens and grow some REAL balls.

So they are rotten boys who never learned to have morals or respect themselves

If ever there was a sign that your high school was failing in its mission...

There is nothing confusing about being civilized.

Oh oh oh, is it because they want to be the afraid of women cowardly misogynistic rapists that the Tates are?

They do???? Reallly?????

🤢🤮

future rapists of america.

Kids are dumb.

Pathetic

💯

They are scum. Period. and a whole new bigger generation of the puny little boys are being indoctrinated.

This is exactly what the Netflix miniseries "Adolescence" was all about. Vile human scum like the Tates are poisoning the minds of young men everywhere.

Weird.

what was the answer ? "Beat Her"?

Welcome to Trump's America. Trump's America role models: sex traffickers mafiaoso enforcers mass murderers conmen ...

We need another war. Maybe after these tools see their friends blown up in front of them with piss running down their leg they’ll think differently about how glorious all this is

Fuck this fucking dipshit

Cobra Taints

Yeah I guarantee you it's not really a "confusing time" for an 18-year-old at a private major-city catholic school whose parents are connected enough to place an op-ed in the WSJ: he's just gotta do the moral calculus on "will I still be liked enough if I embrace rape & human trafficking?"

💯 Why learn to control themselves, interact with women as human beings, learn how to read consent (particularly body language), and learn emotional management when some rich dudes are telling them that they can just force women to do what you want with zero consequences?

The significant part is they were raised by fucking morons and losers that somehow equate Tate, Trump and Musk as the definition of masculinity when they are the farthest thing from it.

Where are the fathers?

We have failed to create environments for hearts and souls to enjoy life in comparison to the amount of fast food we eat.

Why did Elon spend $300 million to help Trump win the presidency? Rest assured — it wasn’t about principle. It wasn’t about government efficiency. It was never about making America a better country. Rather — it was about Musk’s wallet. It always was. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...

Yawn. They "love" these 2 sex trafficking rapist clowns because their parents are cunts who raised them broken and are likely MAGAt KKKultists who worship Mango Messiah and the rest of the KKKristofascists. You know...the people you market your fascist collaborator trash to in the first place.

Start with All Boys High School and it never ends well.

Hatred is very simple.

Perhaps you must be a man to understand the appeal. I avoid going after people’s appearance, but these dudes are ugly. The one posted a picture of himself in a Speedo and it appeared that he was missing some parts down there.

It’s about going backwards, where people can treat others horribly and it’s ok. Americans voted for a felon, who has been found to have raped (at least) one woman, it’s about making that kind of mentality ok. Decent people (and there is more of us than them) need to stand up and stop it.

So they love rapists and pedophiles? Maybe someone should report those boys to cops, they might be doing those things themselves.

And this is why my daughters will know Krav.

Having a primary audience of hormone ravaged adolescents is actually not quite the flex they think it is

Ok, we'll, buddy, part of growing up is realizing that the people offering simple answers to complicated questions are full of shit. So there's that.

Reading this I can’t help but think of the confusion & mixed messages women have experienced for THOUSANDS of years. “U can be whoever you want.” “Don’t be loud or aggressive, though.” “Be a nice girl.” It’s ALWAYS been a man’s world, many still don’t take us seriously. If we disagree, WE are wrong.

Domineer women and act like a jerk, get rejected, become angry, and start hating women. Congratulations. You’re now on the path of becoming a misogynistic incel. Sometimes you do have to think for yourself and stop listening to the idiots out there.

Oh they fall for the okey doke too, case and point Kevin Samuels.

Cliff notes version: the boys at his high school are simpletons

Stop sugar coating these pricks and propping them up when you’re supposed to be neutral.

I'm not sure "trafficking women" is appealing or simple.

Just like their rapist in chief

At no time did I ever consider someone like Tate a role model. Sorry everybody, I'm forced to invoke this one.

So, in their "confusion" they chose the most rancid role models they could find?? They're angry at society's assumption they're bad people, and their response is not to improve themselves, but to double down by worshipping the tates??

I got a message to hs boys: start talking like rapist sex traffickers and you are going to catch a smack, try me out

And 4 year olds like "appealingly simple" answers like 'yes, you can eat all the candy, never have to share, and can stay up as long as you like'. Also, no one is telling white boys to feel guilty. They're just telling what happened and what's still happening. It's up to them to decide what to do.

Some dumbass think they have it all figured out.

Andrew Tate enjoys violently sexually abusing minors and forcing brainwashed teenage girls to have surgery.

Why can’t I like” this multiple times?

That’s the nut of the right-wing extremist message: its simplicity. Yes/no. Women/men. Dems/Reps. Right/wrong. Unwilling to expend the effort to think, wanting someone to make it easy for them.

Pretty sure the whole Right Wing Macho Boy thing is about being too witless to get a girlfriend.

Well said!

Well this is embarrassing for the author, their school, and their parents. Fucking moron.

We need laws against this or it gets worse.

These parents want their sons to win at manhood & patriarchy and that involves a lot of taking.

"If we follow their sexist, racist lead, they promise, we’ll be alphas too." If you follow an alpha's "lead," you're a beta. That's what a beta IS.

that kid’s life sounds ripe for a movie! wait……..

So the answer is beat your woman before you rape her? Very simple.

Simple? Or simple minded.

They need to get over themselves or they will never be happy or get laid. They will just be sex offenders.

White parents are MIA

I have way more faith in our youth than that sentiment.

Lol, yeah the answer for them is to hate women and treat them like objects. Its simple because its meant to appeal to the dumbest among us. Life doesnt have simple answers.

So, is this as school for orphans? The Tate Brothers are absolute fuckwits. Are there literally no other men?

What school? Every admin, teacher and coach should be fired if this is the culture of the school.

What about their dads? Their uncles? Too busy playing video games, day trading, buying cryptocurrency, and trolling online?

To deny that this era is confusing for young men and boys in some of the ways described in the article would be shortsighted IMO

If the problem is simple answers draw more focus than complex ones, we may as well just wrap it up now, because all the real answers are complex. Everyone wants simple answers, but part of growing up is realizing how naive that is. And it's got nothing to do with being a man.

It's appealingly simple only if you are fucking stupid.

Dominant-leaning guys who are smart do fine with academics in school. The not-smart (and mean) boys are forced to become bullies to get their way.

And yes, Clinton's personal record is terrible. But compared to the vile traitor now infesting the White House, he's an altar boy. The WSJ's smug elitists will never acknowledge that.

Some of us remember the WSJ excoriating anyone who defended Bill Clinton, especially in 1998, as an enabler of America's moral downfall. Now, apparently in the minds of the conservative elite, being a degenerate is OK.

To be a violent rapist? Really? That's the answer? Wow.

Appealingly simple says it all, and it’s not good.

Objective perspective deficiency. bsky.app/profile/spla...

Thank God we have The Wall Street Journal to give a platform to a high schooler who wrote an essay explaining that boys are misogynistic. We are all in a different place now.

So … lies. Not answers. LIES.

Maybe someone should tell the boys that he is grooming them to be fucked and sold and bought by the highest bidder.

When you're given "permission" to treat everyone around you like shit, and act like you're superior, you're probably going to like it, when you're young and stupid. Sometimes even when you're old and stupid.

This is a great summary

A confusing time indeed

US capitalism has created a non-society where parents no matter how devoted have almost no power to instruct their own children. I assure you, this is FAR less severe anywhere else in the world. Irish lads are still hobbledehoys at 16 but they're not dangerous, rudderless psychopaths.

I went to an all boys catholic school in the 90s and they were nice boys by and large but they were weird as fuck about women and that was long before the internet or alpha influencers got at them.

Our kids are getting dumber thanks to shitty ass parents who use the phone as a distraction and a babysitter because they're unqualified to raise kids. Parents are the reason that the younger generations are failing down the alt right pipeline faster than in recent years

Every time is confusing. Pretty sure growing up during the Great Depression was pretty freaking confusing. The problem is evil people are being given a platform and their message is being amplified.

Omg, really? 🙄 Happily passing on reading the article written by a sheltered, egregiously out of touch child.

I'm starting to worry about wide-spread lead poisoning at this point.

I blame META

Putting your kid in an all boys school is the first problem.

“answers that are appealingly simple" = blame everyone else for the fact that you are a repulsive loser.

uh, where's this kid's father? where are all their fathers? are they just absent completely from their lives? if you have to look to a freaking sexual offender as your role model, what does that say about what's going on in your own home? WHERE'S THE FATHER!?!?!?!

😐🙄

Lmao but he is such a dweeb
