The fact this has 40 up votes right now makes me feel like lemmy is losing a diverse user base. Like, where are the women to down vote this obviously shitty take?
Let’s list some reasons why these women could have done this that aren’t “women are sluts for clown daddies”:
- he’s their boss, and leveraging his insane power over them to make it hard to say no and keep their job
- he’s just an extremely powerful man and they’re afraid of pissing them off
- they have insecurities, like the “loser cuck” fallacy that they aren’t valuable or desirable as partners, and attention from someone as powerful as him feels like affirmation of their value even if they don’t like him or he treats them badly
- they understand that, by not resisting his advances, they might be able to provide themselves a link to a financial source that could support them and a child
- he literally sexually harasses, assaults, or rapes them and they don’t feel like they can criminally pursue one of the richest men in the world
Like, yeah, some of them might be individuals who have bad taste in men or are shitty people themselves. I’m even certain that some of them are! But damn, can we take the perspective of the woman for one second? It’s not a good look to find yourself agreeing with incels on the internet

Child support payments from one of the richest men on the planet probably aren’t small.

Andrew Tate is also in a Romanian jail right now, if I’m not mistaken.

Its a shame Adin Ross didn’t join him. He could probably use the companionship. Also, it keeps Adin’s dumb ass off the internet.

Please, do not even pretend that a human trafficking serial rapist gives a shit about “the role of fathers in a child’s life”

Does he have to give a shit beyond pretend?

The main error here is thinking that because some women are motivated by money that we can generalize that to all women. And then use that to justify general misogyny.
There are horrible women and horrible men in the world. Prejudging everyone in a class because some members of the class are horrible is wrong.

Yeah, as if plenty of men wouldn’t have a baby with a rich woman if she was offering $100k/mo child support or some shit.
The numbers work differently if you swap the sexes like that, but the motivations don’t.

No doubt that is a nuanced and fair take but that's ain't the world we live in.
People make snap decisions on bad or wrong data all the time.

They’re never gonna see any of that money.
