Angela de Jong gets a big slap on the fingers of Raounak Khaddari, one of the panel members in the failed talk show RTL Tonight. “I don’t think her authority in this area, I have to say honestly.”
According to Angela de Jong, the controversy about Andrew Tate-supporter Davey Verbeek, known for First Dates, but mainly from his performance in RTL Tonight, is a bit hypocritical. Davey is in favor of traditional male-female relationships, but with his ideas is not so far away from reality, according to the AD-Opiniediva.
Angela in the breach
Angela agrees in an AD movie that it is a ‘creep’, but: “Why are the figures in the Netherlands still that men work more, that men earn more and that the care tasks in a family still largely end up with the woman?”
She continues: “Because we all conjure up that what we confess with our tongue now? Well, not at all. Davey just says what a lot of people still think.”
“No authority!”
Parool journalist Raounak Khaddari is annoyed. “No, Angela says what is still going on, but what should not be that way,” she says in RTL Tonight. “Yes, there are women who work less, because suppose you are a couple and one of the two must stop working, yes, then that is often the woman because she earns less.”
She continues: “Not necessarily because she wants to earn less, but women still earn fewer than men, so you sit at home more, otherwise your money goes to childcare. What Angela de Jong says – I also don’t think she thinks her authority in this area – is very correct.”
“It’s spoke”
Raounak, apparently an authority in this area, believes that such a Davey should really be punished. “He said that he is following the ideology of Tate and Tate is much greater than just rolling. He says that women are ownership and there is going on.”
Such a boy needs much more contradiction if he is in a TV program like RTL Tonight, she says strictly. “I find it very bad what happened here, if I’m very honest. You can’t share that kind of ideas with people without placing it in context or without placing a comment on how bad that ideas can be.”
“It’s going too far”
RTL Tonight and presenter Beau van Erven Dorens have failed, Raounuak concludes. “I think you have a responsibility for viewers. I am not saying that Davey is by definition bad, so let’s stay away from Davey, but it was told here last night that he quotes Andrew Tate.”
“That is a man who sees women as a possession, who sells courses for individualistic men for 7,500 euros a year and the BBC discovers that that course teaches men to act and that women in that course are also encouraged to sexist actions and sex for the webcam.”
“If someone is sitting here and says he is hanging his ideas, then it goes beyond traditional roles.”
