Andrew Tate doesn’t understand why the West is strong

Published July 28, 2025 2:00pm ET



Andrew Tate, the infamous pimp and pornographer with over 10 million followers on X, went on a rant last week, attacking monogamous marriage. It clocked in at over 500 words, and quoting the entire tirade would be a waste of space. But there are aspects of his overall narrative that are worth responding to because some lost souls still look to this charlatan for wisdom.

Tate starts with the statement, “Monogamy is not natural for men,” which is untrue and can be a confusing claim. Most societies throughout human history have been polygamous. While the vast majority of the world today, about 75%, live in societies in which polygamy is illegal, that wasn’t true in the past. In fact, up until the spread of Christianity, virtually the entire world was polygamous.
