Joe Rogan sparks controversy with 'sexist remark' referencing Taylor Swift, criticizes Instagram dating during 'JRE' podcast
AUSTIN, TEXAS: While speaking with UFC fighter Sean O'Malley during the JRE MMA Show, podcast host Joe Rogan employed 'sexist terms' to characterize women's preference for a provider in relationships.
They talked about a variety of things, including how social media has affected contemporary relationships.
Rogan expressed the view that it might be considerably more challenging for women to find a stable partner, and both O'Malley and Rogan criticized how social media platforms, such as Instagram, can diminish the value of the dating process.
Joe Rogan makes sexist statement
During the podcast Rogan said, “To be sexist and to talk in sexist terms, women, they go to a man as a provider. She's going to want a guy who can keep it together, right? You're gonna want a guy you're gonna have children," he said.
He added, "You're gonna want a guy who's going to keep it together, financially stable, be disciplined, do all the things that he's going to do, not fall apart, not become a drug addict, not do something f***ing stupid like lose his job and not give up because of that and then everybody gets on welfare."
Rogan further added, "You have to count on someone unless you want to work yourself. There's like this evolutionary aspect.”
In contrast, he remarked that guys typically don't mind if a woman can financially support them.
"No one cares. Are you nice? Are you cool? Are you fun to be with? Do I enjoy spending time with you? Then, who cares? But a woman like Taylor Swift is not going to marry a bartender. B*tch, get the f*** out of here. I sell out stadiums, what do you do? You make drinks?" Rogan jokes.
Joe Rogan’s take on IG dating
Rogan also mentioned a video clip he had watched that labeled Instagram as an "infidelity accelerating machine," a term he endorsed after observing some spouses' accounts featuring them “sticking their ti***es out and sticking their b**t out.”
"You know they're getting bombed on the DMs constantly, and if something goes wrong in the marriage, they have so many options. Pro-athletes are DM'ing them, who knows?" Rogan remarked.
He continued, "How much are you going to be invested in trying to figure somebody out if you got like 100 people that you swiped on that are also ready to go? And you can just leave, like, 'this date sucks.'"
