Meet Pearl Davis: The anti-feminist influencer raising a new generation of misogynists online
The Tab ^ | 3/24

Posted on 03/31/2023 12:38:57 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Andrew Tate’s fans absolutely love her

When Andrew Tate was banged up inside a Romanian jail, another problematic anti-feminist influencer took his place on the internet. And, shockingly, his successor is a woman.

Pearl Davis’ YouTube channel grew from 800,000 to 1.3 million in the first three months Andrew Tate was in jail. Clips from her channel regularly go viral on TikTok, where (like Tate) her account has been banned several times. So, in case you’ve seen her on your For You Page and are wondering what in the women-hating content is going on, here’s everything you need to know:

Her series The Pregame has got really pick-me energy On her YouTube channel, Pearl hosts a live show called The Pregame, where she criticises feminism and continues Andrew Tate’s legacy by praising all of his various opinions. Essentially, she markets herself as a rare variety of woman, who understands men and all of the things they want, which are unacceptable in a supposedly ‘woke’ society. Obviously, Andrew Tate was a guest on the show before he got arrested for trafficking.

She claims she’s not a misogynist

Davis explicitly told Insider that she doesn’t “hate women” but her opinions would say otherwise. Some of her most controversial beliefs include: men should be able to hit women back, women have it “easier” in society, women don’t deserve to be with a well-paid man if they’re obese, it’s a woman’s fault if a man cheats on her and women are entirely responsible for unwanted pregnancies.

In one video, with over 3.2 million hits, she said: “A lot of you are shitty wives. You don’t cook for your man, you belittle him, you nag on him all the time. You don’t treat him like a man.”

Despite getting banned from TikTok she goes viral ALL the time Sadly, Pearl’s high viewer figures aren’t a fluke. Like Tate, the more controversial her opinions, the more attention she gets. Her hashtag, #justpearlythings, has over 300 million views on TikTok and clips from her live show regularly go viral with endless comments and a concerning amount of reshares.

Her mum was on the board of directors for UN Women

In the same way Liz Truss’ parents were passionate Labour supporters, Pearl’s family’s views couldn’t be further from her own. She grew up in a 10-bedroom house in Chicago with nine siblings, her dad Dan and her mum Jennifer, who was on the board of directors for UN Women USA to support gender equality. Ironic.

She got internet famous on TikTok because of a breakup quiz Pearl hasn’t always been spouting backwards views for clicks. When she first started her TikTok account, she got attention for a series she started called Breakup Quiz where she helped people figure out why they’d been dumped. When she moved to London from the US, she started doing interviews on the street, asking people questions about whether women’s body counts are important or if sleeping with a lot of people is worse if they’re a woman or a man. And the videos got worse from there.

She could be more dangerous than Andrew Tate

Pearl already has almost double the number of subscribers (1.36 million) on YouTube than Andrew Tate had when he was banned from the site. As a woman, she stands in a position to encourage other women to internalise misogyny. She says women have to cook, clean, stay thin and smile so they don’t get cheated on. If they get pregnant, it’s their fault.

For men, she’s a mouthpiece that validates the views Andrew Tate championed. He might be behind bars, but his influence is very much still thriving online across Pearl’s accounts.

I don't think she's really like Andrew Tate at all, she seems sincere, not a click-baity materialist.

“men should be able to hit women back”?

Are there really people saying that a woman can strike a man with impunity?

I've watched many Just Pearly Things videos. The headline is hogwash, but what does one expect from "a site covering youth culture," to use The Tab's description of itself.

She’s more dangerous because women are more likely to listen to her.

My personal favorite: "women don’t deserve to be with a well-paid man if they’re obese".

Seems to validate my being happy years ago when my ex-wife left. LOL

“women have it “easier” in society, women don’t deserve to be with a well-paid man if they’re obese, it’s a woman’s fault if a man cheats on her and women are entirely responsible for unwanted pregnancies”.

Well, I’m not buying this stuff and I’m not a feminist but a woman AND a man make a decision to have sex and if a baby comes along it’s both theirs. According to this idea if she’s responsible then she has sole right to terminate the baby in an abortion and after all, that baby is partly the man’s. Maybe that man WANTS a baby.

As for women have it easier I don’t buy that either. They work too, cook and clean and bear children if they do, many other things, including if they get cancer or some disease sickness.

It’s the luck of the draw how easy it is out there and some of it is personal choices can be good or bad. Why is it no one is able to think these days?

I wonder how she’d feel if she was cheated on? Or got overweight in 20 years and then cheated on, or how about hooks up with a serial liar/cheater? It’s all her fault? This is stupid stuff, here.

Don’t deserve to be with a well paid man if he loves her and chooses her?

I kind of think this woman is lying to us. Out to be sensational and sell books, blogs and forum click bait stuff.

Yes. They're called "judges", "prosecutors", "social workers", and "police officers".

Actually I was thinking more of the scene from In The Heat of the Night where Det. Tibbs gets slapped by rich Southerner Mr. Endicott, and slaps him back (in the video, around 0:55). According to writing of the time, when the movie was shown before white audiences, the audience was shocked, while black audiences applauded loudly. By the same token, men who have suffered from the relationship discrimination presumed by the courts would applaud a slapped man slapping back, whether or not it is a good idea.

It was a Cagney movie!

For some reason, your mention of the word "grapefruit" in the context of this story brought to mind something I read in The Last Whole Earth Catalog about 50 years ago, as a college student.

It was a description of childbirth, and the author made the a comment that went something like this: "if you're game, three or four strong friends and a grapefruit can help you feel a lot closer to your wife."

They’ll trash the white girl doing this

There’s another even more famous conservative/anti-left influencer - a mixed-race woman named Amala Ekpunobi

She’s all over youtube, instagram, etc...

if a baby comes along it’s both theirs.

The female has sole legal discretion, for the first nine months of the baby's life, to kill him for any reason or for no reason at all. The man has zero legal power to protect his child.

I’ve seen her videos before. She likes to call out spoiled, entitled (yet still identifying as victimized) Instagram-type women.

And she’s preaching a return to 50’s dating roles and rules.

Today’s women get to break their half of the bargain, from chastity to faithfulness to unilaterally to unilateral divorce, but still expect men to play by the old roles.

Pearl is explaining to them why that doesn’t work, and exactly why most of the good men have started going their own way.

Throw a rock. The dog that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit.

More likely for women to be with a fat ass man then the other way around.

Pearl Davis mainly talks about man/woman issues, rarely on conservatism in general, while Amala Ekpunobi talks about politics, which would include feminism etc.
