I swear there was a male journalist on one of the podmasters podcasts a while back who'd done a deep dive on Tate, but I can't find it... it's a hard thing to search though.
I found it really interesting, in particular the eg of practical advice for young men mainly in the Jordan P. variety but it demonstrated the question of where do young men get their advice from. When I grew up it came from a combo of older kids, FHM and Loaded.

My 12 year old nephew recently got his first phone and was desperate to have Whatsapp for FIFA chat or whatever he and his pals are into; they all changed their profile picture to one of Andrew Tate riding a lion because it was "a cool-looking guy riding a lion." We had a polite conversation with him - he's a very sensible and sensitive kid - pointing out who Tate actually was and what he represents. It's pernicious and alarming how easily younger folk can be seduced.
Also, Fuck the Tories. Am looking forward to them being utterly pulverised if not humiliated.

Yeah, there’s a huge M/F split in younger people - huge focus on Incel culture and the likes of the Tate brothers, Proud Boys etc working the misogynist+far-right angle.
There have been a few analysis pieces written on the growing divergence between young men and young women recently that I’ve seen - I think the Economist recently?
