'Absolutely a misogynist'

Videos about Mr Tate have proved popular across social media platforms, particularly
on TikTok where videos using the #AndrewTate hashtag have been viewed more than
12.7 billion times.
But this number represents not just videos of Tate and his supporters - it also includes
videos made by people criticising the influencer.
And on YouTube, some of his most popular videos have had millions of views.
In one video, during which he was interviewed by another YouTuber, he said he was
"absolutely a misogynist", adding: "I'm a realist and when you're a realist you're sexist.
There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist."
Later in the same video he called women "intrinsically lazy" and said there was "no such
thing as an independent female".
In a different video, Mr Tate said: "If I have responsibility over her, then I must have a
degree of authority."
He added: "You can't be responsible for a dog if it doesn't obey you."
The BBC has approached Google, which owns YouTube, for comment.
