Candace Owens' Turning Point Against Feminism
American political commentator Candace Owens made striking revelations about her rejection of modern feminism during a recent podcast appearance on November 18, 2025. The controversial speaker sat down with Myron Gaines and shared a pivotal moment from her college days that completely changed her perspective on the feminist movement.
Owens revealed that her disillusionment began when she enrolled in a Women's Studies course, often referred to as Feminism 101. She entered the classroom believing feminism stood for gender equality, but what she encountered shocked her fundamental understanding of the movement.
The Classroom Experience That Changed Everything
According to Owens, the atmosphere in her Women's Studies class felt radically different from what she had expected. Instead of discussing equality, she claims the instructor consistently blamed men for every societal problem. The podcaster described the experience as essentially designed to teach women to hate men rather than promote genuine gender balance.
What stood out most dramatically was when Owens shared her personal struggle with an eating disorder, only to have her teacher attribute that personal health battle to male influence. She emphasized that this moment felt particularly unfair and inaccurate, cementing her belief that the class functioned more like a psychological reprogramming session than an educational course.
Broader Pattern of Controversial Stances
This revelation fits within Owens' established pattern of challenging mainstream movements. As reported by The Guardian, she has emerged as a polarizing voice over the past five years, openly criticizing both the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements. Her commentary has frequently generated controversy, including her remarks about the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni issue and repeated false claims about Brigitte Macron.
During the same podcast interview, Owens addressed critics who label her a hypocrite, asserting that her life experiences are exceptional and shouldn't serve as a benchmark for others. She specifically cautioned women against equating financial success with personal fulfillment, highlighting her broader philosophy about achievement and happiness.
While the conversation later touched on various topics including her children, thoughts on Donald Trump's administration, and the killing of activist Charlie Kirk, these subjects remained secondary to her central critique of modern feminism and the educational system that promotes it.
