Are women overtaking the NFL? Whitlock slams new obsession with female leadership



Jim Irsay was the owner of the Indianapolis Colts before he passed away. Now, his daughter Carlie Irsay-Gordon is the team’s new owner — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t thrilled with the attention her presence has been drawing.

“She magically appears as the team’s owner and standing on the sideline. And she is what I’m calling an example of the equalizers and this whole feminist movement we have going on in the National Football League,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock comments.

“America, beyond question — American culture, American society — the feminist movement has overtaken everything. And that’s why we have women like Carlie Irsay-Gordon pretending to be some sort of football savant and standing on the sidelines with headsets on and listening to the coaches,” he continues.


“If women can overtake the NFL, that should be a message to you that they can overtake, and they are overtaking, all of American society,” he adds.

And when Irsay-Gordon spoke about the end of their season during a press conference, Whitlock points out that she’s literally reading off a script.

“She’s looking down every fourth word at notes in front of her. She’s reading a script. She’s pretending to be a male leader by reading a script. This is all scripted and intentional,” Whitlock says.

“In 2022, NFL owners put out a statement saying that diversity in ownership was an important goal for the NFL. And so, they’ve been ushering in all of this female leadership into the National Football League,” he explains.

“Anything that’s diverse, anything that promotes something that’s not male, patriarchal, and white, that’s all good. ... Anything that disrupts tradition, anything that disrupts biblical patriarchy, anything that disrupts male authority and leadership, it’s all good. It’s a positive. It’s a sign of progress,” he continues.

While Irsay-Gordon isn’t the first daughter of an owner to inherit an NFL team, Whitlock points out that it’s not the fact that she inherited the team, but the hyperfocus on her while the Colts were off to an 8-2 start.

“She was the hottest thing in the NFL — ‘She’s holding the coaches accountable, she’s on the sidelines during the games, she’s on headsets, let’s do stories about it,’” Whitlock mocks.

“This is the future of the NFL,” he adds.

How Feminism Became The Biggest Pagan Megachurch In The World

It has an object of worship, which is female autonomy, its own commandments, theological virtues, a sacrament, and even its own form of evangelization.

Is the ayatollah a feminist?



The horseshoe theory may have been on full display after the supreme leader of Iran made a surprisingly feminist statement on social media.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei often ponders philosophical and political topics on his X page, most recently critiquing the role of women in Western society. In a string of posts on Wednesday, Khamenei insisted that Islam treats women better than other Western faiths and societies, and even resurrected a 2010s feminist talking point that has long been debunked.

'Women's wages are lower than men's for the same work.'

"Islam's view of women is the opposite of the Western capitalist view," Khamenei said in a post on X. "In Islam, she possesses her independence, her capacity to act & to progress, her identity; in the West, her dignity is not respected, and she is treated as an object in the service of material interests."

There is certainly room to criticize women's role in Western societies, especially in the post-modern era. However, Khamenei conveniently omits the practical application of Sharia law in countries like Iran that tolerate child marriages and require women to hide behind hijabs.

In an even more surprising take, Iran's supreme leader insisted that the gender wage gap was an oppressive reality that Western women have to endure, despite it being both disproven and outlawed altogether.

"Today, in many Western countries, women's wages are lower than men's for the same work," Khamenei said in a post on X. "Today, that's how it is. It's a blatant injustice."

While criticizing the West, the ayatollah omitted the real, dramatic gender disparities in Iran's workforce.

In Iran, less than 14% of women participate in the workforce, compared to 67% of men. Additionally, a husband can prevent a wife from working at all if he believes it to be "with the family interests or the dignity of himself or his wife."

Iran's law also forbids women from being employed in "dangerous, arduous, or harmful work," with massive underrepresentation in higher professions like parliament. Women are barred from positions like supreme leader, and they cannot be appointed to judicial roles.

‘Wokeness is feminization’: The true origins of cancel culture



Journalist Helen Andrews has written what BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock calls “one of the most important pieces of journalism in quite some time.”

The article for the online publication Compact, titled “The Great Feminization,” dives into the dangers of feminism and the havoc it has wreaked on society as a whole — starting with “cancel culture.”

“Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis. … Everything you think of as ‘wokeness’ is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization,” Andrews writes.

“Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently,” she continues. “How did I not see it before?”


Andrews notes that women “became a majority of college-educated workforce nationwide in 2019,” which was followed by women becoming a “majority of college instructors in 2023.”

“Wokeness arose around the same time that many important institutions tipped demographically from majority male to majority female,” she writes.

“The substance fits, too. Everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over the masculine: empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition,” she adds.

Andrews also points out that within group dynamics, the “most important sex difference” is the “attitude to conflict.” While “men wage conflict openly,” women “covertly undermine or ostracize their enemies.”

“We’ve all been in denial, that we all just, you know, ‘Women and men, they’re all the same and welcoming them into the workforce and into all positions of power — this is long overdue and this is good for America,’ and this article points out in great detail, and very powerfully, like no, they’re not the same,” Whitlock says in response.

However, while BlazeTV contributor Chad Jackson agrees somewhat with Andrews, he points out that the article was still “written from a spirit of feminism.”

“And what I mean by that is that she describes wokeism kind of rising up out of nowhere, seemingly out of nowhere here recently. When the reality of it is that what we’re seeing in these recent years is actually a culmination of what’s been going on for a few centuries, actually,” Jackson explains.

“When you’re coming from a kind of evolutionary worldview, you might get a lot of things right, but you miss the mark when it comes to certain key points. … I think that we tend to miss the mark when it comes to how these things have been brewing up for much longer than the recent history," he adds.

Iconic actress tells 'James Bond' star to his face: 'James Bond has to be a guy'



Progressive writers should stay away from the "James Bond" series, according to one of the industry's most celebrated actresses.

For years, critics have wondered how long it would take for the iconic macho character to become a feminist version of himself or be portrayed by a woman entirely.

Even actor Pierce Brosnan, who portrayed the spy four times between 1995 and 2002, suggested the iconic character should be played by a female because he would find it "exhilarating."

"Get out of the way, guys, and put a woman up there," Brosnan said in September 2019.

Now, Brosnan's own co-star is telling him the beloved character cannot be played by a woman, ever.

'James Bond has to be James Bond; otherwise it becomes something else.'

During an interview for the upcoming film "The Thursday Murder Club," Brosnan was asked to reflect on what the Bond character means to him after all this time.

However, it was his recent co-star and revered actress Helen Mirren who stole the headlines and put her foot down on the character.

At 80, Mirren plays a retired spy in her new movie and was asked by outlet Saga if the female spy is a "better portrayal" of the world of espionage than 007 is.

"So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure," Mirren said, before dropping the hammer on the reporter. "More realistic. But not so much fun as Bond! I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work."

Mirren added that if you turn Bond into a woman, the movie franchise would shift entirely.

"James Bond has to be James Bond; otherwise it becomes something else," Mirren declared.

Brosnan, on the other hand, seemingly reversed his commentary from 2019 and stated he is "so excited to see the next man come on the stage."

"I adore the world of James Bond. It's been very good to me," the 72-year- old continued, explaining that he is just a member of the audience now. "It's the gift that keeps giving."

Despite Brosnan's apparent change in opinion, the Bond franchise creators have been much less forgiving to the media when it comes to what gender James Bond can be.

About five months after Brosnan's feminist comments, sentiments of a she-Bond were shut down by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, relatives of the original spy movie producer, Albert R. Broccoli.

"He can be of any color, but he is male," Barbara Broccoli told Variety in December 2019. "I believe we should be creating new characters for women — strong female characters. I'm not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that."

The series flirted with a change in 2021's "No Time to Die," actor Daniel Craig's last foray as the lead character. Actress Lashana Lynch became 007 in Bond's absence during the film, meaning technically 007 was a woman, but the character of James Bond was not.

Black men don’t want to go to historically black colleges and universities? Here's why



The New York Times recently published an article highlighting a growing gender gap at historically black colleges and universities — revealing that only 19% of students enrolled at Howard University are black men.

“I found the story fascinating,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” tells Shemeka Michelle. “I did find it frustrating, though, because in every subtle way they could, the drop in enrollment of black men, ‘It’s Donald Trump’s fault, it’s the Republicans' fault, it’s conservatives' fault.’”

Michelle did a little research herself and found that while the number of black men attending HBCUs has dropped, the number of black men with a bachelor’s degree has increased from 19% to 22%.


“So, maybe they just aren’t going to HBCUs,” Michelle says, adding, “but when I read this article, I could understand it. As I was reading it, all I got from it was, ‘Are you gay? If not, come to an HBCU and we’ll fix that.’”

“It was just like they want to make these men soft, and I don’t understand what the obsession is,” she continues, adding, “Well, I guess it is feminism, but there’s like this obsession to make men into women.”

“So if they’re skipping out on college, I’m all for it, as long as they’re doing something else,” she says, noting that of course, the article also made sure to include pro-feminist chirps from women on the campus.

“That was frustrating when I saw them talking about DEI and how women run the campus. I just don’t like the idea that men should be subservient to women, and I feel that if you go to college, that’s what we’re kind of pushing on black men and men in general nowadays,” she explains.

“We’re teaching young men how to handle their emotions like women, and I don’t like it,” she adds.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is back — and it’s more delusional than ever



The trailer for the sixth and final season of the left’s favorite show, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has hit the mainstream — and of course it’s not hiding its true agenda in the slightest.

The show is based on “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a novel by Margaret Atwood, but the novel, which was written in the 1980s, doesn’t blame Christian conservatives for the dystopian setting. Rather, the plot simply involves women who are being forced into being surrogates for wealthier, infertile women.

Atwood herself has said that she was influenced by many different religions, including Islam, for her best-seller.

“Their argument, from what I understand,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” says of the left, “is that the religious right, and really all Republicans, because Donald Trump is not the religious right, but they say that he’s co-opted Christianity to try to turn America into this Christian nationalist religious extremist dystopia where we are forced to give birth.”


The reason they believe this is because many Christians on the right are against killing babies in the womb.

However, Stuckey is well aware that their interpretation is delusional, to say the least.

“Something that is really happening in the United States right now is a widespread billion-dollar surrogacy industry that thrives in the United States, which is the Wild West of reproductive technology when it comes to the creation and cryopreservation of embryos, the farming of eggs, the procurement of sperm,” she explains.

“One of the most disturbing aspects of the reproductive industry in the United States is surrogacy,” she continues. “When we’re talking about a surrogate, it is typically the creation of a child using the DNA of two individuals which are complete strangers creating these embryos and then transferring these embryos into a surrogate who is not the biological mother, is not related to the child at all, and this carrier, this surrogate, carries the child until birth.”

“Very often these are premature births because they are high-risk pregnancies. They were not naturally conceived; this baby doesn’t share DNA with the carrier,” she adds.

In many births of babies carried by a surrogate, they take the baby away immediately to ensure that the baby doesn’t bond with the mother, who was the only home the baby has known for the first nine months.

“They’ve just gone through something really big, really dramatic, really traumatic, and they need that bond. But in surrogacy situations, that skin-to-skin opportunity is taken away, that bonding experience necessary for the health of the child is taken away to prevent that bond,” Stuckey explains.

And it gets worse. In a 2023 study from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System, it was found that between 2014 and 2020, 32% of surrogacy pregnancies by American women were for buyers outside the United States. 42% of those buyers were men of Asian descent.

“We already know there’s an organ-harvesting black market that exists. We know that child sex trafficking exists. And surrogacy plays a part in all of that. Yet most people won’t say anything about this because they are scared of being called homophobic, because they know it is very often men using these services,” Stuckey says.

“This is ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’” she adds.
