Andrew Tate said today he is being punished for “telling young men to work hard” and that he would be “embraced” if he told them to remove their genitals and “wear a dress.”
The 36-year-old Tate, who has been described as the “king of toxic masculinity,” complained that he had been banned from social media sites and jailed “to rot” for telling young men to “question everything.” pull, work hard and go to the gym’.
Tate claimed that if he “cut off his dick and wore a dress and told men to do the same,” he wouldn’t be seen as “poisonous to the mind of the youth.” Instead, he claims, he would be “promoted and embraced.”
The influencer has been accused of spreading misogynistic “rape culture” content to an audience as young as 13 on TikTok, with Tate speaking of assaulting a woman if she accused him of cheating.
Tate is currently under house arrest in Romania over allegations that he recruited young women and forced them to create pornographic content online. Last week, a judge extended his house arrest for another 30 days.

Tate claims he is being targeted because those in power are “afraid that I am so influential.” “They don’t want me helping men be good,” Tate tweeted.
He continued, “The logical extension is that my enemies are just evil. It’s good versus evil. It’s God against Satan. It’s the battle for humanity.’
Tate said he was banned from talking about him in schools around the world, having a bank account, using Airbnb, Uber or Spotify, and was in prison for telling young men to “question everything, work hard, go to the police’. gym, and get as rich as possible’.
He claimed that the British government is conducting an ‘active campaign’ not only to ban him, but added that British officials intend to charge him with hate speech.
The influencer’s notoriety in recent years has been linked to the proliferation of British teens using the Chinese video-sharing platform TikTok.
Tate, who has told rape victims to “bear responsibility” for the abuse, said in a video that he would attack a woman if she accused him of cheating.
When asked if a woman accused him of cheating and came at him with a machete, Tate said, “It’s knocking out the machete, banging her face and grabbing her by the neck.” Shut your mouth.’
Leading domestic violence charities have warned that such content is extremely misogynistic and has the potential to radicalize men and young boys to harm women.
Tate was arrested in Bucharest on December 29, along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group to exploit victims.
The notorious misogynist spent three months in prison before being placed under house arrest last month after winning an appeal against a judge’s decision to extend his time in prison for a fourth time.
Prosecutors have said the Tate brothers recruited their victims by seducing them and falsely claiming to want a relationship or marriage.
The victims were then taken to properties on the outskirts of the capital, Bucharest, and forced to produce pornographic content for social media sites that generated large financial profits, prosecutors say.
Tate and Tristan moved to a converted warehouse in Romania in 2017, where they were staffed with armed guards.
In their safehouse on the outskirts of Bucharest, the Tate brothers ran a video chat studio where several women were found during a police raid in April 2022.

Romania’s anti-organized crime agency DIICOT said in a statement following the December arrests that it had identified six victims in the human trafficking case who allegedly suffered “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group.
The agency said victims were lured with pretenses of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while coerced into committing pornographic acts for the crime group’s financial gain.
In January, Romanian authorities descended on a property near Bucharest associated with the Tate brothers and towed away a fleet of luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari and a Porsche. They reported seizing assets estimated at $3.9 million.
Prosecutors have said that if they can prove that the owners of the cars made money from illegal activities such as human trafficking, the assets would be used to cover the costs of the investigation and compensate victims. Tate also unsuccessfully appealed the asset seizure.
Tate is also accused of the rape of a Moldovan woman, who he claims followed him from London in March 2022, which he categorically denies.
In January, he told the Bucharest Court of Appeal that the alleged victim had voluntarily moved to Romania with him in November 2021.
Tate claimed she filed a rape report almost six months later when he refused to give her money to buy a house and become a TikTok star.
And last week it showed Tate is reportedly facing the possibility of being sued by three British women who alleged he sexually assaulted them.

The legal team piece together the allegations, which will become clear once they have the funds to bring a civil suit against Tate to the Supreme Court.
The women, now in their late 20s and early 30s, reportedly allege that 36-year-old Tate sexually assaulted them between 2013 and 2016, while the self-described misogynist ran an online sex business in Luton, Bedfordshire.
An investigation by British police into complaints from two women at the time resulted in no charges against Tate, who repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
The British women seeking to bring the claim against Tate say they suffered personal injury and psychiatric harm after allegedly violent sexual and physical assaults in the UK.
They are represented by law firm McCue Jury & Partners.
Tate’s views on women, masculinity and entrepreneurship, expressed in podcasts and shared online, became popular in 2022 when they were shared in short clips on social media.
He was eventually banned from several platforms for misogyny and hate speech.
Tate has repeatedly claimed that Romanian prosecutors have no evidence, claiming their case is a “political” conspiracy designed to silence him.
