Paul Pierce has gone viral once again for comments on women's and men's roles.
The NBA champion shared his controversial opinion on "The Truth After Dark" podcast.
"We can reverse roles. We can be better at your role than you would be at our role," Pierce claimed to his co-host, Azar Farideh.
"We can do what y'all do," Pierce doubled down.
"So you can be feminine?" Farideh questions.
"Listen to what I'm saying. We can do y'all roles as women," he continues. "Y'all don't do the heavy lifting."
"Y'all not going to build the Staples Center," Pierce says, to which Farideh agrees.
"We can't get a thousand women to build the pyramids," he adds.
He ends with: "But men, we can do y'all's roles all day."
Fans react to Paul Pierce's comments on roles
"This [ninja emoji] trippin," a fan wrote.
"So the men do wanna be women…?" a fan asked in the comment section, to which another fan replied, "Right. That’s what he totally just said."
Pierce generalizes and minimizes the roles that women contribute to society, and only gives examples of roles that contain physical manual labor, in which men have always had a higher percentage in the workforce. While women take on fewer physical barring roles, they dominate in fields such as personal care workers and Health associate professionals.
However, it's hard to define what roles men and women can and cannot do when there is not enough context and factors that determine how each gender is calculated.
Neither Pierce nor Farideh has reacted to the conversation as of this writing.
