What is the appeal of someone like Andrew Tate and other "toxic masculinity" peddlars?

As a man, have you ever been drawn to a misogynistic “alpha-male” lifestyle? To those who own the phrase “toxic masculinity” and assert that men are meant to be chauvinistic, dismissive of women, and sexually aggressive?

I tend to think that if young men are being drawn to someone like him it’s because society is not meeting their needs in a number of ways. As with a lot of people like him, I think he’s correctly identified a problem (how men are feeling empty and purposeless in society), but he’s incorrect about the cause of this problem and the appropriate solution. How would you suggest we steer young men away from people like this?
