"Women who come across as confident... tend to also be in bed, people who want to please males," she pointed out, leading into a call for women to take charge of their own pleasure.
"We should be the ones that are like, 'F--- you, I'm gonna have an o-----,'" she asserted, encouraging listeners to prioritize personal fulfillment over societal expectations.
Her practical s-- advice, coupled with her personal anecdotes, scored high on the connection meter.
"My advice would be this: don't f------ do that for two reasons. You're gonna have better o------ and — guess what? — Your man's gonna like that," she advised with a no-nonsense tone that resonated with the audience.

Reflecting on this duality in her life, she remarked, "This is like this moment in this time in my life now... I have tried dating and I can tell that no man's moving into our house while my daughters are there."
The actress emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries, suggesting that any prospective relationship would need to respect her space and family dynamic.
Charlize Theron said she has no interest in dating within the industry.
Theron further expressed her hesitations regarding dating within the industry, stating, "I have zero interest and again, I say these things, you know, in a very glib way, but I don't think that dating somebody in my industry is a smart thing."
She reinforced her stance humorously yet firmly, "No Burning Man photos. No photos of you with other women. I don't care... It makes my v----- close. I just can't."
This candidness strikes a chord as it reflects many individuals' experiences navigating relationships within their own industries featuring the added dynamics of fame.
