American model and media personality Amber Rose has opened up about her changing views on feminism, revealing that motherhood and life experiences have influenced how she sees the relationship between men and women.
Rose, who previously identified as a liberal feminist, said she no longer considers herself a feminist, although she continues to support female empowerment and what she describes as “girl power.”
Speaking during an interview on Club Shay Shay, the model explained that becoming a mother to boys has given her a different perspective on the importance of men in society and the ways both genders depend on each other.
According to her, growing older has helped her recognise that men and women have different strengths and roles, particularly when it comes to raising children and handling physically demanding responsibilities.
“I think sometimes you have to either become a mom. We really need you guys for a lot of things,” she said.
Rose admitted that when she was younger, she did not fully appreciate how much women rely on men, particularly in areas such as reproduction, physical labour and other demanding tasks.
“We need men for babies. We need men for heavy lifting. We need men for, you know, to do the really hard jobs that we can’t do,” she added.
The model also revealed that her change in perspective has not been well received by some of her female supporters, who have expressed disappointment over her decision to distance herself from feminism.
“I feel like a lot of my girl fans, they’re, like, low-key mad at me that I’m not a feminist anymore,” she said.
However, Rose maintained that her position is rooted in her belief that men and women complement each other and can rely on one another in different situations.
To illustrate her point, she recounted an experience on a yacht, explaining that she appreciates the sense of security and physical assistance a man can provide.
“Even just getting on the yacht. Like, that safety net of a man, like making sure that I get on. I wouldn’t want a woman to help me, because I’m like, girl, we both gonna fall,” she said.
Her comments have sparked conversations about gender roles, feminism and how personal experiences, including motherhood, can shape people’s views on relationships and gender equality.
Rose’s latest remarks also mark a shift from her earlier public advocacy for feminism, having previously championed women’s empowerment and founded the annual SlutWalk movement, which sought to challenge slut-shaming and raise awareness about sexual violence and gender inequality.
