Cam Newton Draws Criticism for Comments About Women
"Choose Growth"
Again, many men such as Cam Newton need to read more and speak less. The level of misogyny and sexism on these podcasts is disgusting. https://t.co/oN3nW2zSnU

"Most people are attached to old ideas that were crammed into their heads as children by parents, teachers & religious leaders," a thoughtful Twitter user commented. "Nothing stays the same. Life is motion. Motion is change. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. Let's choose growth!"

"This kind of thinking is just so weird to me. I do almost all of the cooking. The laundry. Stuff like that," one gentlemen shared. "My wife handles the finances. Has a woodworking shop in the basement and manages our construction projects. I legit don't understand why these roles have to be gendered."

"Grace Hopper, Rosalind Franklin, Stephanie Kwolek, Shirley Jackson ... Cam Newton (and all like-minded men) may want to look them up. The NFL would not be same without the contributions of these amazing women who thankfully didn't know when to be quiet," a football fan pointed out.

"Sorry, but I don't need anyone 'catering' to me, I'm a grown-ass man," a defiant listener wrote. "We're either going to be on the same level, or we're not. Cooking? Man, if you're looking for someone to cater to you like that, go to a restaurant. [People] should do things because they want, not as an expectation."

"He wants a woman that can cook, NFL teams wants a guy that can actually play quarterback. I guess we don't always get what we want," one person snarked.
