We systematically delved into Tate’s messaging on Telegram and his website so you don’t have to!
While contrasting to his vile click baity, misogyny vids @ tweets, Tate’s self-help advice is insidious ideological scaffolding that leads to + celebrates misogyny

1. A box a teenager checked on a form 20 years ago (that was accurate) isn’t newsworthy.
2. The source clearly had political motives and you hid that.
3. One the byline reporters on the “story” is an avid follower of an open white supremacist.
4. Pictures of tweets? Really? You that lazy?

A Muslim son of immigrants, backed by and backing Black and Jewish leaders, rising in NYC politics isn’t just coalition-building, it’s the American promise realized. It terrifies bigots precisely because it works. Diverse power-sharing isn’t a threat, it’s the future. So New York. So necessary.

nice life news: I am rejoining the Faculty of Arts at Monash Uni, as Professor of Sociology from September.
Mixed emosh: the collaborations & friendships I’ve made in 3.5 years in Edu have been rewarding and transformative.
But, I am *really* excited to return 'home' to School of Social Sciences.

I had the extraordinary honour of being a keynote ar ‘Masculinities in Transition’ international conference in Stockholm.
I borrow from Polanyi (!) to think about double movement that pulls young men towards reactionary AND caring masculinities, & suggest the margins can inspire a hopeful imaginary

New from @drstephaniewescott.bsky.social & me in Critical Education Studies. We advance SRGBV as an essential classifying, clarifying and categorising concept to encapsulate gendered abuse, misogyny, sexual harassment and sexism experienced by women, girls and non-binary young people in schools.

Why is environmentalism class divided?

My new paper in The British Journal of Sociology maps attitudes to green issues in the social space of economic and cultural capital. Spoiler: it’s not just about being rich.

Young men have more advice and potential role models at their fingertips than at any point in history.

The ones choosing misogynist grifters are doing so because "you are an aggrieved little Viking prince who is being cheated out of his rape and pillage" is the easy message, not the only one.

This is an excellent piece by @steven-d-roberts.bsky.social et al. It's interesting how feminism and women so often seem to end up being blamed for the issues boys and men face, when it's actually patriarchy which is in so many cases at the root of our problems: womensagenda.com.au/latest/how-t...
How the discourse on boys’ alienation is fuelled by anti-feminist agendas
The idea that boys are turning to the manosphere because masculinity is under attack is misleading and a strategic, ideological narrative.
