For higher or worse, you in all probability know Logan Paul. He’s an web persona, wrestler, boxer, entrepreneur, and occasional actor whose time within the highlight has introduced with it a lot of controversies.
Now, alongside together with his many occupations, Logan has recognized himself as somebody who empathizes with girls… and this actually appears like one thing out of a comedy skit.
For context, Logan is engaged to mannequin Nina Agdal, and in September 2024, the couple welcomed a child daughter. In a latest episode of his actuality present, Paul American, which was filmed throughout Nina’s being pregnant, Logan grappled with the thought of elevating a daughter and made a biiiiiig assertion about girls’s struggles on the planet.
“Enthusiastic about having a daughter, my thoughts went to some darkish locations, dude,” he mentioned in a confessional, trying somber. “I don’t need to come throughout like a woke asshole, however like, dude, girls have it onerous. Girls have it fucking onerous. And I empathize with them.”
As a girl on the planet, I can verify that ladies do have it onerous, some way over others — whether or not it’s sexism, abuse, or simply usually having our rights stripped away from us by males in energy. With that in thoughts, I recognize Logan’s empathy. Nonetheless, his framing of the assertion as if it have been one thing remarkably courageous or profound (with unhappy music within the background, no much less) is nothing in need of baffling, and other people appear to agree.
On X, the clip has been seen tens of millions of instances, and one repost with over 392,000 likes joked that Logan was “having his first vital thought on the ripe age of thirty.” Others have been amused/disheartened by his fears of being categorised as a “woke asshole” for expressing “naked minimal empathy.”
Others got here to Logan’s defence, saying that any epiphany about girls’s rights is best late than by no means. And with that in thoughts, I eagerly anticipate his subsequent “woke” breakthrough!
