It ain’t amusing at all. My eldest is 17 and starting to get a lot of attention from “men”. In the last couple of weeks alone she’s had 2 grown white men stop their cars, try to chat her up and then get the arse with her when she tells them to get lost. In her words both Tate like disciples, both in their late twenties early thirties behaving like they’re entitled to her attention.
My 15 year old sees it even more at school. We went for a group meal the other week with friends that moved away and were visiting, the son of one of the other families (who we didn’t know) was wearing an extremely sexual and misogynistic t shirt, fuck knows what the parents were thinking allowing him to wear it. Turns out he goes to school with my youngest and all the girls hate him and his mates because they’re all Tate fans.
Also I have it on good authority that the youth don’t go up town and to clubs anymore.
Anyone who thinks this is behaviour isolated to men of ethnic minorities is delusional and it’s growing faster and faster amongst young men. My eldest is able to have males in her friend group, my youngest doesn’t feel the same way. Except for one lad who is gay. She doesn’t trust the boys she goes to school with. Granted it isn’t all of them or even a majority but they’re becoming bolder and bigger in numbers for sure.
