I could not agree more with what you've written--eloquently. Our society has a hole in its center. But I can't help but observe that you could have replaced "Tate" with Trump and still have this essay resonate deeply. Nonetheless, this piece will stick with me. It shows so well how a new political consensus can be forged by not allowing the existence of one truth to be used as the excuse to toss aside the progress we've made over the centuries. We need course corrections, not revolution.
Only a few years ago, the danger to men was coming from the Left. So was anti-Semitism, and other ills. Unfortunately, these are now coming from the Right as well. Staying principled is one of the hardest things for humans to achieve and when you throw the ability to make lots of money into the mix, it doesn't even seem desirable to many. It is easy to prey on people and promoting victimhood on the right will be no less dangerous than it was on the left.

Of the boys with a positive view of Tate, how many of them have at-home fathers?
Because I know which way I would bet...
And yet he has.
