Actress and singer Anya Bukstein has publicly criticized TV personality Avri Gilad for remarks he made on the show "The Winning Kitchen VIP" regarding gender roles and leadership. Bukstein responded to a segment where Gilad presented his views on the differences between men and women, stating, "It's embarrassing."
In the clip, Gilad asserted that men are naturally driven to conquer, earn money, and pursue women, while women are not. He attributed this perspective to "Chazal" (ancient Jewish sages), whom he cited as a source of authority. "The nature of a man is to conquer. The nature of a woman is not to conquer. A man goes out into the world and wants to advance, bring money and conquer women," Gilad said, adding that a woman's lack of desire to conquer is "not a feminine trait."
Gilad also discussed women in leadership positions, suggesting they lose their femininity when they become leaders. He pointed to the Knesset (Israeli parliament) as an example, exclaiming, "My God." When asked if leadership could be achieved with softness and gentleness, he agreed, and also affirmed that such a leader would be respected in politics.
Mukstein's reaction was a single, unelaborated word: "Embarrassing." The comment was posted on social media, with no further explanation or attempt to soften the message.
