        Which is ironic, because it predicts toxic masculinity 20 years before it became a widespread phenomenon. Andrew Tate is basically Tyler Durden/the narrator in real life.

          20 years before it became a widespread phenomenon

          err… toxic masculinity has been mainstream since the beginning of recorded history.

          Males in Athens who in adult life willingly submitted to anal penetration were derided as kinaidoi, a term of abuse which had the connotation of effeminacy.
