Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist, shut down notorious social media personality and known sexist Andrew Tate on Wednesday after he boasted about his automobiles' massive emissions and tagged Greta in his tweet. Greta Thunberg's response earned praise on Twitter, but many questioned the choice to allow Andrew Tate on the platform.

Former kickboxer Andrew Tate wrote on Twitter - "Hello @GretaThunberg, I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their enormous emissions."

The tweet has some 424K retweets and 92K quote tweets. While Greta chose to stay silent, Tate, who is not new to controversies, started putting our tweets on the subject and retweeted hateful comments. He wrote back, "Thank you for confirming via email that you have a small penis @GretaThunberg. The world was curious.

Someone with big dick energy is self-assured, has a swagger, and raises others. Little dick energy, for the uninitiated, does not relate to a man's private area but is slang for those who are insecure and petty and bring others down. Tate was outraged by the phrase and began to strike out at Greta through video.

What are other controversies surrounding Andrew Tate?

On comparing women to dogs, children, and objects

Tate will argue that the comparison of women to nonhumans, objects, and children is only illustrations. The paternalistic treatment of women has long been used to explain both diminishing women's agency and autonomy to make their own decisions and allowing them to acquire the resources to live an independent and dignified life.

On using women for monetary game

Tate has accepted using cam girls for making money. However, just as men are compensated with payment, if a woman is working, she will expect to get paid in actual money, not just love from someone who calls himself the “Top G.” He was planning to make money out of those girls by exploiting them and using them for his own monetary greed.

On gender equality

Tate frequently refers to himself as a feminist when confronted with his heinous ideas on women and gender. We have yet to see anyone challenge him on this issue, for example, by asking for his definition of feminism. Tate sees women's protection as a "male necessity," which begs the issue of what women need to be protected against. If it's guys, this poisonous, hyper-masculine, sexist ideological worldview doesn't help women feel safer.
