  • Judy Nir Moses stated women have a "kitten" side in bed, distinct from their professional strength.
  • Avri Gilad argued men are natural leaders and many have become subservient to women.
  • Yogev Yiftach described consulting his partner on all decisions, sparking the debate.
  • Dana Zarmon called Itai Turgeman's "Jewish model" of gender roles "chauvinistic."
  • The discussion occurred on the TV show "The Kitchen VIP."

Veteran media personality, journalist, and businesswoman Judy Nir Moses sparked a debate on gender roles during a recent episode of "The Kitchen VIP" on Keshet 12. The discussion began when Yogev Yiftach described his relationship dynamic, stating he consults his partner on all decisions. This prompted Avri Gilad to argue that men naturally possess leadership qualities and that many men have become "rags" subservient to strong women.

While judge Ruthy Brodo countered that women can be better leaders than men, and Itai Turgeman wished for female leadership that doesn't imitate men, Nir Moses offered a nuanced perspective. She posited that women exhibit a "tough and strong" demeanor in their professional lives, but have a "kitten"-like side in bed. When Gilad suggested that women lose their femininity by becoming leaders, Nir Moses retorted that leadership requires assertiveness, comparing successful female managers to "ninjas" when in work mode.

Nir Moses' firm stance reflects her own independent and opinionated public persona, highlighted by her significant financial success, including selling her home for approximately 18.5 million shekels in 2022. The episode's discussion also drew criticism from Dana Zarmon, who rebuked Itai Turgeman's description of his and his wife's conservative division of labor, he as the breadwinner, she as the child-rearer, as the "Jewish model." Zarmon labeled it a "chauvinistic model," emphasizing that rigid divisions do not suit modern realities and that healthy relationships require flexibility.
