Andrew Tate uses mother to tell what ‘literally all men want’, gets called out for misogyny

From preaching to men and mansplaining women, Andrew Tate has now dragged his mother into his controversial view on the ever-going man-woman debate. His misogynistic mindset took a step further this time as he made derogatory remarks about his own mother.

The controversial influencer portrayed his father as a chess prodigy, dismissing his mother as a mere “dinner lady”. In the past, Tate has many derogatory and ill-informed remarks about women and about what men “actually” want from women. His fame skyrocketed due to his contentious and hyper-masculine worldview.

While much is known about his father, Emory Tate, an accomplished chess player with an International Masters's title, very little information is available about his mother, Eileen.

This was the first time when Tate talked commented on her mother publicly. In a recent tweet, he called his father as a genius chess player and CIA operative while calling out his mother as a “dinner lady” with “absolute zero in common”. He went on to place his father on a pedestal, claiming that his mother only provided meals and kept the house clean, while remaining silent most of the time. He concluded that he loved his mother, reinforcing his distorted perspective on what men supposedly desire.

However, this one-sided and misogynistic tweet didn’t go well with other people. One Twitter user critiqued sarcastically that it seemed like his father had low expectations, as valuing “healthy meals” and “a quiet” wife seemed to be the extent of his priorities.

They humorously added that romance novels were probably not on his reading list. Another critic reminded readers that Tate had previously revealed his parents' divorce when he was 10, and his father, despite having a high IQ, failed to provide any financial support. This left his mother and children to spend time in a homeless shelter before finding accommodation in public housing.
