Agree. Andrew Tate is a reaction to an easy way to make money. The misogyny is and was always there. It just needed a lightening rod.

Men like Andrew Tate become popular because of the covetous nature constant competition impresses upon the male mind.

It's a feature of the system. It's not a reponse to anything.

Feminism is somewhat reactionary. It can be seen as an attempt to level of excesses, or a means of holding homeostasis in the system. But it's also disruptive and under its own impetus, actionary in other words.
