Andrew Tate is a former kickboxing champion and current self-proclaimed "pick-up artist" who has gained a following on social media by promoting his controversial views on masculinity and relationships.


In one of his videos, Tate uses the movie "The Matrix" as an analogy for his beliefs. He argues that men who are aware of the "matrix" of societal expectations and norms surrounding masculinity are like Neo, the protagonist of the movie, who is awakened to the truth about his reality. According to Tate, these men are able to break free from the constraints of society and live life on their own terms.



Tate also claims that women are like the characters in the movie who are still plugged into the matrix, and that men who understand this can use their knowledge to manipulate and control women. He suggests that men should adopt a "red pill" mentality, which means rejecting societal norms and embracing a more traditional, dominant role in relationships.




However, Tate's views have been widely criticized for promoting toxic and harmful behaviors towards women, and for perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes. Many people argue that his ideas are not only morally wrong, but also ineffective and damaging to healthy relationships.
