The appearance on an episode of Barstool's Mllion Dollaz Worth of Game went viral because of the wrong reasons. The commentary about the behavior of modern women in relationships was cringe-worthy.
Before he appeared to catch himself,Newton's comments began with a slightly sexist tinge. He dug his hole six feet under by rattling off a series of degrading stereotypes about women.
Via Mediaite.
“A bad bitch is a person who’s just, you know, ‘Girl I’m a bad bitch, I’m doing this, I’m doing that.’ I look the part but I don’t act the part.”
“There’s a lot of women who are bad bitches. And I say bitches in a way, not to degrade a woman but just to go off the aesthetic of what they deem is a boss chick,” he continued.
“Now a women for me is, handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. Right? And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of ‘I’m a boss bitch, Imma this, Imma that.’ No baby! But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet! You don’t know how to allow a man to lead,” Newton said.
After complaining about bad bitches,Newton said that they were "boss chick" It takes a lot of audacity to think of discussing your annoyance with women who can cook, won't be quiet and follow their man is an innocuous take in 2022.
Traditional women will play a role in his own life, so he is free to pursue relationships with them. He stepped on a landmine by broadcasting his generalizations about modern women that were from a not too distant era when women didn't have equal rights, access to jobs or the opportunity to be bosses. He used the idea of women not being able to cook as a way of attacking professional women. It was the same as Jerry Richardson's demand that his young, black quarterback be tattoo-free.
Newton's antiquated opinions about the roles of women aren't just limited to relationships. It is part of a pattern. Toxic beliefs about how working women should submit in relationships have been shown to be related to past behavior. He doesn't seem to have much respect for them.
Past comments he has made about women are an extension of his offensive thoughts. When Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer asked him a question about passing routes, he chucked.
It's funny to hear a female talk about routes,Newton told her.
Newton apologized, but hasn't appeared to learn from his mistake. It's probably not a coincidence. He should have developed some self-awareness after being pilloried for degrading women. He's stuck in the same hole he was in five years ago. You would hope that a man who was daring enough to rock a babushka during a press conference could stop himself from offending women. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case forNewton. If there are any women in his life that he trusts, he should first listen to them.
