Controversial alt-right personality Andrew Tate has weighed in on influencer Bonnie Blue’s bold declaration about her intent to sleep with hundreds of men — and surprisingly, he’s not against it.
“I don’t understand why men sit here and try and lecture you about it. I don’t understand why men sit here and say you shouldn’t do it,” Tate, 38, told Blue, 26, during the Disruptors podcast hosted by Rob Moore on Friday, June 20. “It’s your body, your choice. This is the world we now live in.”
Tate went on to say, “You are the perfect end result of feminism in the world. In a conservative, traditionally masculine-ruled world, a man would be in charge of his daughters until they’re handed over to their husbands or boyfriends, but feminism didn’t want that.”
Rather than criticize Blue’s stance, Tate embraced her approach, calling it “a fantastic thing” that she is fully in control of her own sexual decisions.
“I actually have a lot of respect for you because you own it and you’re honest about it,” Tate said. “There’s so many women who go to Magaluf [in Spain] for a weekend and do something very similar, and then they come back to England and get with some f***ing guy and start asking for presents from him and talking about how they deserve a traditional relationship and they want to get married.”
He added, “Most women do exactly what Bonnie does. I don’t see you as any different [from] most women. I’m not saying that in a degradation way. … Everyone has a past.”
Tate also said that he is “genuinely proud of Bonnie” for her unconventional career.
“I like what she’s doing,” he said. “I’m saying that the social contract [and] the construct of society that made family function was [that] women were obedient virgins and they find a man who provided for them. Feminism ended the traditional family unit, and now women can make their own decisions, so I’m glad that Bonnie is making her own decision.”
Blue, for her part, pointed out that her sexual exploits have often received comments like that she is taking “women back a hundred years.”
“I’m, like, ‘No, I’m the clear example of how to be empowered,’” she stated. “I use my body, I do what I want [and] when I want. When I get hate, [I look in their bio and] it said, ‘Stay at home mom of two.’ I’m thinking, ‘What the f*** were you rooting for because you have just stayed at home?’”
While Tate is all for Blue expressing her sexuality, he made it clear that he would not want his future daughters to go down a similar career path or take ownership of their sexuality.
“Well, that won’t happen,” he quipped. “I never said my daughter was her own person. I said, ‘Women want to be their own people.’”
