To which Tate replied, “I haven’t watched it because I believe it’s feminist Hollywood garbage and it’s propagating the demise of masculinity amongst the population. So sorry to give you a Alex Jones answer, but the answer is no. Because it’s just feminist garbage, and it ain’t true.”

He further added, “I believe that because that’s what’s happening. I mean, there are talented female players but they are not nearly as talented as the man overall. They are not nearly as good as the men overall. I think the best female in the world is like number 50 in the world. If you incorporate men and I believe that Hollywood takes every single chance it can to empower females to the point of reducing men’s ability to look like a man.”
