He told a married woman she wasn’t a ‘real woman’ for traveling without her husband. Her response turned his own masculinity argument on him
Azoulay said feminism is the 'most destructive force in society'
Ben Azoulay, an arrogant man, tried to spread the virus of patriarchy in a podcast when Kyla Turner (@notsoerudite_) threw him off his high horse with a brutally honest argument. In an episode of her “Take Back America Tour,” posted on August 11, 2026, Turner confronted an entitled man who was offering her unsolicited advice on what women are supposed to do. Azoulay intruded on her personal life and rebuked her for not being a “real woman” because she left her man at home to do a podcast with him. The clip has received over 1.5 million views on Instagram.
A misogynistic meltdown
The video opened with Azoulay questioning Turner whether she was single or married. When she confirmed she'd been married for eight years, the man immediately shifted the conversation into a sexist argument. He insisted that she was not a “real woman” because she'd left her husband and kids at home to do a podcast with another man. "Men today have gone to a point where they're just fine with their women doing whatever they want," Azoulay said. Moreover, he mocked men for talking about mental health and added, "If I were married right now, I wouldn't want my wife flying out by herself without me going to do a podcast with another man personally." Shocked, Turner confronted him for intruding on her personal life.
A brutal reality check
At last, Turner made one single remark that would deflate any man's arrogance. "I haven't said that you're not man enough, but at the same time you're sitting here questioning my femininity, so between me and you, who's more stoic right now, you or me?" she asked. But even this brutally honest explanation didn’t budge the Azoulay's stubbornness. Turner dismissed him, saying, "Whatever you want to tell yourself, boss."
Additionally, Azoulay proclaimed that feminism is the "most destructive force in society" and women shouldn’t be there attending podcasts with men and rather be with their men at home. Whereas men are allowed to go out, because they are men, and that’s what they are supposed to do. “He is a classic example of a weak man pretending to be a strong one," Turner reflected.
A horrifying global mindset
The argument on gender equality has been going on forever now. But what Turner encountered is proof that the argument is yet to reach its conclusion. In fact, studies, too, say the same thing. Ipsos, for instance, conducted a study on men across 30 countries and found that 1 in 3 men despise feminism as being more harmful than good for society. Similarly, as surprising as it sounds, 2 in 10 men denied the existence of gender inequality altogether. Meanwhile, according to the UN report, about half of the world feels that men make better leaders, and 28% think that it’s justified for a man to beat his wife.
'All I hear are his insecurities'
The man’s sexist arguments evoked rage among the viewers who jumped into the comments section to roast him. @jaynesharp commented, “I don’t think he even realizes how weak he sounds when he says all this. All I hear are his insecurities, and that is the least masculine quality out there.” @smf_2026 said, “I think men who want an obedient wife should stay single and not have kids. You’re not mature enough to handle relationships.”
