What is the whole feminism, like, movement? It's just, it's so fit. come on. Feminism is it's the biggest joke of the entire world. Nothing, 1st off, nothing that feminism aspires to today. Modern feminism makes women happy. I don't even understand it anymore. Like, a guy opens a door and you're like, oh yeah, why are you holding a door for me? I can do it myself. So that's what it is. Like, what's the definition of like feminism?

Today, it's a shifting definition. There's been different waves of feminism. But today, they pretend it's about equality with men. It's not. They actually hate men. And usually the people that are at the forefront of the feminist movement are the... that hate men. I mean, like the, the, you've got Lena Dunham, like, who just rants and raves about how men are awful and terrible all the time, who is, to me, the mascot of the 4th wave feminism.

It's like, if you don't like my body for being 3000 pounds, it's because of the patriarchy. No, it's because nobody likes that. That's disgusting. It, unhealthy, and nobody should want to date that. Like women, I don't want to look at it. Men don't want to look at it and I'm straight. Like, so it's a cop out. It means I don't want to get healthy, but instead of me going to the gym, I'm going to say that the men, the patriarchy created this idea that people should be healthy and take care of themselves.

It drives me insane. I absolutely cannot stand it. What about women that always say, like, women don't get paid as much as men? I always hear that. How do you respond to that? It drives me insane. Is that a fact? But that's true, no? It is not true when they do the same jobs as men. I'm sorry you want to work at Vogue and pick out pretty bags for a photo shoot, but you don't get paid as much as an engineer, men and women have different interests.

We are biologically different. When I was in school, every single girl that I was friends with was majoring in either comms or TMD fashion, right? The truth is, is that if you go into a career and you want to be a buyer for Macy's and men are, you know, taking business classes and want to go be CEOs of hedge funds. They going to make more money. We have different interests. And there's nothing wrong with that by the way.

Like, men and women are not the same. We are biologically different. We have biological predispositions. The idea that women should want to climb the top of a ladder and, you know, go into corporate America and be there forever. Women want to have kids, right? So there's another reason that they're not making as much money as men is because a lot of women want to stay home with their children, which is an admirable goal, which feminism tries to wipe away.

Like, oh, if you want to stay at home, something that women say to me all the time. Why don't you make your husband a sandwich? Okay, is he hungry? Does he want a sandwich? Did he say something? I make my husband food the last 4 nights. I mean, my husband dinner, like, I don't understand this weird maker, like, they're trying to shame women for taking care of their families. Like, that is another element of feminism that I cannot stand.

There's, it's an attack on family and these things that work. It works. Men are biologically unable to have children. So the aspiration to climb a ladder forever to wake up every single day and not have to worry about being pregnant for 9 months. I mean, that makes sense. We're different creatures, you know? I think that's like a troll, though. No, it's like, all you're good for is like, yo, make me something to eat.

No, they that whole concept came from rabid feminists. Like there was something wrong with being in the kitchen, right? And this was sort of this push of women get out of the home and go to work, which has made so many women miserable, so many women miserable. And most of them when it's too late because they feel this pressure now of like, oh, well, if I if I don't aspire to anything other than like family, then I'm going to somehow be a failure.

And so they take on these jobs that a lot of them take on jobs that, you know, they know is not going to result in some budding career, like it's usually in fashion or textiles or something like that. When in reality, women want to be married. you know, happily married. It's an admirable goal. Yeah, sandwich sounds pretty good, though. Yeah, you know. I mean, if my husband ever wanted a sandwich, I'd make it for him.

You're worried about raising your boy with how controversial you are and all this stuff, like raising him in the climate that you're creating here. No, I mean, worried in what way? Worried, meaning like you're bringing him into a world where you're a figure that's talked about nonstop and he's going to be hit early, probably, as a child, young kid, with dealing with the stuff that you kind of created, and kind of he's just born in that world where, you gotta get what I'm saying here or no?

think that's a good question. It's a good question. Yeah, I mean, no, the answer is no. I don't think, unless you want your kids to be, like, I'm not raising my child in the public eye, I don't post pictures of my family, like on the internet. So I think he'll be separate from that. My child's not allowed to have technology. If he wants an iPhone, he can have it when he's 30 and out of the house. You know what I mean?

Like, I, yeah, 30 and out of the house. Yeah. Are you going to like know where he goes? I'm being hyperbolic. probably get it when he's, you know, off to college or something. I'm very against technology. I think it's it's ruining children when you look at these girls and they're getting their lips and their butts done and they're like 12. My gosh. It's okay, though, right? No. Are you crazy? okay. What did you say?

He said, but if they're 18, it's cool. cool. It's cool. Yeah, yeah. No. you like that. You bought a check, you bought a check new lips yet? No, I have projections. I'm not really into that. What about on lips? I like all natural. I taught making girls debating whether they're getting... They look so much. It's full of shit. not true at all. I'll see what you follow on Instagram. probably you are probably full of it.

I'm not at all No, no, no, not at all. I just literally like a girl that's all natural. It actually turns me off, to be honest. Like fake tits and all that stuff. And like the lips are the worst. The white girls on the lips, that has to stop. It has to stop. That's like really popular right now. They look like they got beat up. Like, you know, then then like, then it deflates. It's overdone, it looks terrible. And then it like deflates a little bit and then like one side's higher than the other and I'm like, why did you do this to yourself?

Why did you beat yourself up? I don't understand it. You've never got any work done. No work. No work, all natural. I will not do it. Yeah, I don't, I mean, I never say never. Like maybe when I'm after I've had like 4 kids and but I'm not touching my face. I have a weird like thing about touching my face. Like I'm just like, I'm not touching my face. I don't think it ever. I mean, sometimes actually if you have a really bad nose, girls get the job job.

It looks good. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell you. Well, Kyle, he loves fake racks and stuff, so I don't know. I do? You probably offer to buy girls fake asses and shit. I've never done that. Kang around with me and Steve, you'll get a fake ass. 100%. When you date AOC, are you going to tell her to get? Maybe. Would you? I mean, if it's what you're into, you can ask, right? Whatever. It doesn't hurt. If she's your boo. But yeah, I mean, I agree.

I think I think girls look more beautiful. covered up. I think girls look more beautiful with their natural faces. I don't understand this new trend and it's alarming to me how young the girls are doing it. younger and younger and younger. When I was that age, I had braces, like I was playing outside, like I was a tomboy. I was choreographing dances. You know, I just don't understand why these girls are like this now, actually I do understand.

because of Instagram. I would agree with you there. fucked up. Every girl wanted to be Kylie Jenner for a while. Yeah, she started a whole new trend. And in reality, the idea that her mother let her do that to her face and her body when she was 17 years old, it should have been a crime. She looks a lot better now, though. I, I, I don't know what she was going to look like. She was a kid. Think about what you looked like at 17 years old.

She didn't get to grow up. I mean, I had baby fat. I do like pictures of me at 17. I'm like, I was like an entirely different person. I feel like I start my face started to mature when I was 23, 20. Have you done Botox or no? Nothing. Nothing. I've never gotten injection ever in my face, ever. Anywhere in my body. I shouldn't say my face. I've never got an injection of anything in my face. Yeah, like it's flaw, you're flawless.

Thank you very much. Flawless. Thank you. I think, Kylie, you look bad though. We blow up some bad ones that went bad. But I'm black. Yeah. Look how young she was. Look, I mean, you don't even know, think about, she's got bangs, like, she's a kid. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she was 15 in that picture. What's your natural beauty over there? So she probably had time to develop. Yeah. Even a haircut would have changed her.

You know what I mean? I understand what she did because this was what was happening all the time because her sister was in the spotlight and people kept comparing her, not realizing she's a she's a kid. I mean, 15 years old. Look at what she's wearing. She wouldn't even wear this. Look at pictures of what I wore when I was 15. I'm like, ew, what was this disgusting look or the way I was doing my makeup? You know, it's just you're a kid.

You have time to develop. You grow up when you hit your 20s. you start. I still feel like I didn't really figure out. I feel like until I was 26 really is kind of where I was like, oh, okay, actually that outfit looks really bad. Like, you know, we were all wearing like weird American apparel, Herve Leger, making me look cute. It's just she was a kid. This is kind of like Hollywood now, right? This is Hollywood, though.

You don't like Hollywood, right? No, I hate it. They want you to look like you're 25 when you're 15 and people feed into it. So she was just tremendously insecure because she had cameras around her house so she was going through her awkward phase and girls go through a really bad, awkward phase. Guys have it a little better. And so she changed her whole face and her whole body. I don't know what she would have looked like.

I really don't. One of my favorite feuds that you had was with Harry Styles. Is that still talking about? I actually, no, I feel like Harry Styles and I would actually be friends. I think he's cheeky. I have to tell you, because you did, you threw shit at him, which I could, he has no drip. I give you that, but girls love that guy. No, I think he's very talented, but and personally for me, I could not, like, a man in a dress is just not attractive to me.

Don't care. no way to make a trend to me at all. Men should be men, men should dress like men. It's just not my thing, but we're kind of getting into a society where like, things are getting weird. I think they're just trying to be talked about when they do that. And that was my point. I mean, that's what I think. 100% is why they're doing it. are you on the computer? And honestly, girls love it. So when he posts in a photo of address and all the girls love it.

They don't. They love that. They do not. They love him because he's talented. He's talented and he sings and he's got the rock star thing going on. So Harry Styles being an exception. Women do not like men that wear dresses, even if they were dating Harry Styles. They wouldn't want him wearing a dress. They'd be like, why are you wearing a ball gown today? Where are we going? We're going to Starbucks. I'm going to put on a ball gown.

No woman likes that. Do not believe women like that. What people like online is to pretend that they're woke and like, 0 my god, this is amazing. Generous a construct. Oh my god, you're so this is amazing. Like I worship. Oh my god. Like, that's online culture. not real life. There is no woman who wants her man wearing a ball gown. It just isn't. She doesn't exist.
