Re: Andrew Tate
A lot of people need to teach their sons how to handle rejection from women and just the overall fact that women owe them ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. So many insecure boys/men see women as objects and when they don’t get what they want, they weaponize their anger.

The partial quote here is doing a disservice to the entirety of what DT said. She acknowledged that greatness can translate to the next level but that it takes time and incoming players should give themselves grace.
