In a recent episode of her podcast “It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield,” the outspoken reality star Abbie Chatfield addressed the misogynistic comments made by former Married At First Sight contestant Harrison Boon during an Instagram Live session. Boon’s derogatory remarks, particularly targeting Chatfield, sparked outrage and prompted a powerful response from the podcaster.
During the live stream, Boon perpetuated harmful stereotypes about women, suggesting they are solely responsible for seeking marriage and setting the terms of relationships. He went on to belittle Chatfield, citing her age and relationship history, in an attempt to diminish her worth. “Women are the ones asking to be picked,” Boon asserted, adding, “Men set the price of relationships and marriage. Women set the price of sex and dating.”
In her 2 part podcast episode, Chatfield fearlessly confronts Boon’s misogyny, unpacking the underlying power dynamics and systemic issues at play. She refuses to be silenced in the face of such toxic rhetoric, calling out the deeply ingrained sexism that continues to pervade society. “They want to have choice and have control over women because they’re seeing that power slip away with progression,” Chatfield asserts. “He did say at one point that women’s peak value is between the ages of 18 and 24… That’s really disgusting, scary language.”
In her trademark candid style, Chatfield delves into the harmful implications of Boon’s words and offers her perspective on dismantling misogyny and promoting gender equality.
So, if you’re ready to confront misogyny head-on and be part of the change, it’s time to tune in to “It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield” and listen to her powerful response.
