Kristen Louelle Gaffney, wife of former NFL player Tyler Gaffney and co-host of the “Barely Filtered” podcast, pushed back against negative narratives about men.
Appearing on “OutKick The Morning,” Gaffney criticized the left for pushing down men while being unable to define what a woman is.
She argued that men have built much of the country through jobs like construction and infrastructure.

“We keep pushing men down and men are so amazing,” she said. “They literally built this country. The buildings, the electricity … those are 98% jobs by men.”
Rather than putting down groups, Gaffney said men and women should embrace their differences and support each other.
“So, why are we pushing these men down? We can still thrive. We can still be amazing and have amazing opportunity, but we don’t need to bring other groups of people down at the same time,” Gaffney said.
“We are women. They are men. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, and we should embrace that and support that.”
As a feminist’s “worst nightmare” in her view, her husband is also the person she would call to protect her if needed.
She added, “My husband is a feminist’s worst nightmare, but to me, it’s the most attractive thing in the world. But guess what? If, God forbid, something happens, whom am I calling? I’m calling a man to protect me.”
Gaffney concluded by calling for not dragging each other down but instead recognizing individual strengths and weaknesses between genders.
