In a recent podcast discussion, legendary boxer Mike Tyson and entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David found common ground on an unlikely topic: gender dynamics in modern society. Known for his unfiltered honesty, Tyson made a stark observation about the confrontational aspect that pervades current media, suggesting it is part of a profitable cycle that capitalizes on societal divisions.

He even included examples such as Andrew Tate and the portrayal of feminists.  An era where “the future is female” coexists with ‘Red Pill’ media narratives that thrive on conflict. As Tyson bleakly puts it, “We can continue to make money off of people’s pain.”

In the center of the conversation, Patrick Bet-David initiated the dialogue with his observations on the contemporary discourse on gender dynamics. He expressed, “There’s just such a need for leadership for young men these days. I guess my question is it’s not a zero-sum game like for forever we’ve heard that it’s the patriarchy and this is this is basically has given a rise to modern-day feminism. Then you see things like the future is female where it’s like what is that if the future is female what does that mean for men right and then you see things like the feminism and the boss babe movement and everything with that it’s men and women can both win right.”

Responding to Bet-David’s inquiry about how both genders can flourish in today’s society, he stated, “Well listen that’s gonna be pretty difficult because when you watch television you see it could be black people could be white, it’s confrontation between man and woman. That’s what you see on television that’s what you see on housewives show. That’s just what you see you see this on um Kevin Samuel show.”

Tyson further elaborated, “You see this on sometimes what’s the other guy Andrew Tate it’s just confrontation, confrontation sells, and we’re not gonna stop this conversation, this is gonna be coming era. So we can continue to make money off of people’s pain so whether it’s Republicans or Democrats whether it’s blacks and whites whether it’s men and women it’s just going to constantly be doubling down on this against each.”

This dialogue urges us to reassess our perceptions, question the narratives we are being presented with, and recognize the influence of media representation on societal views. As we continue to grapple with these complexities, one question arises: Can we envision a shift in this narrative towards a society where both genders can indeed “win” without conflict being commodified? Your thoughts?
