Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Judge Judy doesn’t play. She’s got a message for women — if a woman can’t make her own money, she’s basically handing someone else the remote control of her life!
On Amy Poehler’s ‘Good Hang’ podcast this week, Judy’s clear that being a homemaker is fine … with a word of caution — if you’ve got no income of your own, your potential exit plan doesn’t exist.
The TV legend says not every woman without a way to support herself ends up being controlled — and it’s not always obvious or aggressive when that happens — but the option to change her own circumstances should be part of her mindset.
To drive it home, she said it’s a whole different ball game for men — they always have an exit plan.
In classic Judy sass, she ended with a zinger … men could live out of a shoe if they had to — ladies, we don’t get that luxury, but at least if we’ve got the means, we call the shots!
