hHow tight can pants get before they start cutting off blood supply to the brain? It's a question doctors may want to consider after Andrew Tate was arrested, standing proudly in a balletic fourth position, in Miami, wearing black pants that grazed his ankles so much they could only be considered the kind of capris loved by It girl Hailey Bieber. As if his attitude towards women didn't cause enough outrage, he also had to ruin the riders.
Tate, along with his brother Tristan, were arrested in the United States when the UK CPS announced a raft of 38 new charges against them, including rape, organizing or facilitating trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation and offenses relating to indecent images of a child. British officials are now seeking to extradite the couple to face the charges and several pre-existing allegations, which their lawyer has called “insanity” and baseless.
It is significantly frustrating, given the magnitude of the crimes he is accused of, that it took so many years for Tate to be properly tried. He has now been photographed in handcuffs at least four times, wearing everything from a black shearling jacket five sizes too small, champagne-hued velvet sweatpants, and the latest low-buttoned purple shirt that comedian Grace Campbell joked “a mannequin dressed as Dorothy Perkins would spit on.”
Tate buttoned up the blouse in question, showing off her collection of diamond chains and, let's not forget, her impeccable waxed chest. The garment, so tight that he would not have been able to lift his arms even if law enforcement had not tied his hands, was paired with dark aviator glasses that made him look less attractive. Top gun and more like Pitbull's evil twin.
The final horror to top off the look was predictable and profound: loafers without socks. Right behind the real cops was the fashion police.
On Instagram, countless accounts offered fashion advice: “Those capris and a silky top would be elevated by a kitten heel,” one person suggested. “She looks like she's cosplaying Audrey Hepburn and doesn't have the chin to pull it off,” another added.
“Not exactly an alpha male suit,” noted one user on Meanwhile, in a thread of Tate wearing various printed sheer tops loved by moms everywhere, one person asked, “Has Andrew Tate ever been photographed wearing men's clothing?”
Of course, people should be allowed to wear and be anything, regardless of whether they are men or women. But others, like Tate, think there are roles and norms to play, which is why her overly feminine sartorial choices are so at odds with her loud proclamations of strict gender roles and her laments about the feminization of men.
Then, of course, it's even funnier that she's out on the street looking like someone's divorced aunt. “Add a lewd and lascivious touch for those slutty little ankles,” another added. “Brother [is] here with some pants.
There has long been a theory that the reason some men spend so much time putting women down is because, deep down, they are jealous of the opposite sex.
Patriarchy hurts us all, and perhaps you would like the empathy and tolerance for the emotions that women offer each other. Looking at her latest outfit, it's clear that she would enjoy some aesthetic aspects that are traditionally considered feminine. But you may have to wash your prison-issued jumpsuit in hot water before you get the tight fit you prefer inside.
