Imran Khan it speaks honestly about masculinity and what young men see and hear today. In a recent podcast, he talked about why someone like Andrew Tate became so popular, and said he was lucky enough to have great role models when he was young.
Imran Khan on Andrew Tate’s “masculine fantasy”.
On the Decoding Quirks podcast, Imran pointed out that many men grow up thinking that wealth, achievement and physical success guarantee happiness. When that promise fails, they feel helpless, making those who claim to have the answers vulnerable. Speaking specifically about Andrew Tate and figures like him, Imran said, “Out of this, there are people who are confusing these men. Andrew Tate is perhaps one of the most famous of these. But there are men like this who take advantage of vulnerable young men in search of role models. They’re looking for guidance, and in this comes these guys who say, I’ll tell you how. And they sell these men the power of the fantasy of masculinity. Strong, show women their place, so you become a man. And in these troubled times, young men believe these stories. “
Imran Khan credits his family for his success
Imran also revealed that this attitude did not appeal to him because he grew up surrounded by people who took things for granted. He praised his mother, the men in his family, including his uncle Aamir Khanfor having a lasting influence on the way they see the world. He said: “I give respect to my mother, and the men in my life, my father and my stepfather, my uncles Mansoor and Aamir. All these men were positive male influences in my life. These are men who, on their own, respected women and taught me the same. Not in a derogatory way, in a real, equal, human way.”
