Masculinity: From Durkheim to Andrew Tate
Zoe Strimpel reflects on the power of the 'manosphere' and, in particular, that of self-professed misogynist, Andrew Tate.
Zoe Strimpel looks at the history of masculinity and its moments of crisis, from Emile Durkheim at the end of the 19th Century to self-professed misogynist, Andrew Tate, today.
'The contemporary manosphere', she writes, 'doesn't appear to have any positive idea of what men should be, apart from rich, priapic and nasty - and within the long history of masculinity in crisis - this feels new'.
