During a recent episode of the reality cooking show "The Winning Kitchen VIP," participant Avri Gilad sparked controversy with his remarks about women's roles. Gilad refused to hug fellow contestant Eilon Nofar while she tearfully discussed her battle with cancer, interrupted her to correct her Hebrew, and then stated his belief that women are not suited for leadership. Most of the women at the table did not voice opposition, but Ruti Brodo and Judy Nir Moses challenged Gilad's views, asserting that women are capable and deserving of leadership positions. Brodo confronted Gilad directly, telling him she felt dismissed by his comments. When she attempted to express her opinion, Gilad labeled it a "cliché." The article notes that Gilad did not immediately apologize but appeared to understand the criticism.

The author of the article expresses agreement with Brodo, suggesting that calling an argument a "cliché" is an easy way to avoid engaging with its substance. The incident highlights a tension between traditional views on gender roles and modern perspectives on female empowerment within the context of the show.
