  • Fuentes has repeatedly discussed sex with underage girls and claimed the age of consent “should be lower” and has stated he wanted a “16-year-old wife.” 

  • Fuentes has attacked women as “emotional” and “annoying,” said they should “know their place,” and said women should be called “my prisoner” instead of “my wife.”

  • Fuentes has claimed women are “idiots” who are “made to have kids” and that “women exist for sex.”

    • Complaining about television programming, Fuentes asked, “When is there going to be a show where the wife tries to mess with the husband, she's easily caught, and then she gets her fucking ass kicked?” He said: “That's the show I want to see,” and went on, saying: “I want to see the show where she tries to disrupt the husband's plans, and the husband, who's a genius in everything, anticipates this also.

    • Discussing Andrew Tate’s charges, Fuentes asked: “What crime did he commit besides sex trafficking, besides probably hitting women, which is whatever.” He added: “What crime did he really even commit? No, I'm joking obviously, but this guy literally just popularized being sexist.” [Rumble, America First, 3/28/25]
    • Fuentes demonstrated to his audience how to punch a woman, saying: “You want to put your whole body behind it. ...

    • Fuentes claimed: “I need a Nick-fearing woman who knows that I'm going to put her in the fucking dirt if she stands in my way.” He said: “I need a husband-fearing woman. I need a Nicholas Fuentes-fearing woman. I need a woman that fears me and doesn't divorce me.” He later added: “You know, she can fear God all she wants. … God will not stop her from acting like a bitch, unfortunately. God doesn't tend to intervene in that way. You know, God will not punch her in the face, in other words. God is not going to kill her and bury her in the backyard if she cheats on you. You know, he might send her to hell later, but he's not going to slap her across the face when she gets out of line.” He concluded: “No. I'm kidding. Not that I would do that. Not that I would ever put my hands on a lady.” [Rumble, America First, 4/3/24]
    • Fuentes claimed if his hypothetical girlfriend cheated on him he would “probably beat the shit out of her” or “murder her.” He added: “And if my wife did it, I would just beat the shit out of her and maybe kill her,” before noting, “No. I'm kidding, of course.” He complained: “If a girl cheats on you in this day and age, you can't even lay a finger on her. And if you do, she goes to the police and says, oh, he beat me. And then you get charged with domestic abuse. And then that's on your record forever, and then you can't vote, and you can't own a gun. And if you have kids, they take the kids from you. It's totally rigged.” [Rumble, America First, 3/19/24]
    • Fuentes claimed women “like” being assaulted. He said, “Thing is about women, you got to slap them around,” before adding, “They want you to grab them by the face,” and gesturing, grabbing his own face to demonstrate. [Rumble, America First, 1/26/24]

He said, “This whole, like 15-year-olds are literally children. I'm sorry, that's feminism. Whenever — I'm going to stick to my guns on this one. When you see guys saying stuff like 16, 15, that's a literal child. This is feminism. That's a feminist construct. Age of consent, feminist construct. Google it. It is literally a — what does that even mean? No one even knows.” [Rumble, America First, 2/17/26]
    • Fuentes claimed that notorious late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had “aura" and said, “Sorry, 17-year-old girls are attractive. Hate to break it to you.” [Rumble, America First, 1/21/26, 1/21/26; The New York Times, 7/1/08]
    • Fuentes has claimed: “I think in an ideal world men and women are getting married in their teens,” adding, “That's the age when men and women are sexually active and fertile.” He continued, “I don’t think that’s crazy, that you have like a 21-year-old guy with a job, who’s established, marries a younger girl who’s 17.” He then added: “What's insane is a girl who finishes high school, goes to college, sleeps with six or seven guys … goes to bars in the city, fucks a bunch more guys, and then when she’s ready to settle down at 25, then she considers marriage. OK, well, what does that look like for you now? You’re 25, you’re past your prime in fertility and looks, you’re used goods.” [Rumble, America First, 1/21/26]
    • Fuentes said that: “We can have hot teenage wives, and that will be fecund and fertile and will give us children, and they won't be bitches.” [Rumble, America First, 3/12/25]
    • Fuentes claimed that “children are the healthiest the younger the mother is.” He added: “Should we get back to a society like that?

    • Fuentes claimed that “after they hit puberty in their adolescence” is when “women are the most beautiful.” He stated: “That is when the men are the most strong and sexually active.

    • Fuentes claimed that “when you're a woman, in particular, you're beautiful for maybe 10 years.” He went on: “And you could be pretty after that, but like, you're in your prime, let's say, from like 18 to 25 or something. And then we all know this is the game they play — they like to have their fun, and then they want to get married later. … But then, the ship has sort of sailed.” [YouTube, Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk, 12/2/25]
    • Fuentes claimed “I think the age of consent should be lower. I don't even really believe in the concept.” He added, “There's no such thing as marital rape.

    • Asserting that “women age like milk,” Fuentes said he wanted to find himself a “16-year-old wife.” He said, “Yeah, I got to find my 16-year-old wife. Probably when I turn 30 or something. Because here's the thing, I don't want to be like — let's say I get married to an 18-year-old now. Six-year age difference. When I turn 40, she's going to be 34. Ew.” [Rumble, America First, 5/17/23]

    • Fuentes claimed he likes women “when they are pleasant, when they smile, when they know their place, when they know their role.” He added: “A man's role is to provide and to protect. That's our place. Your place is to be nice. Your place is to be pleasant, nice, beautiful, virtuous, raise the kids, take care of the home, support your man. That's your place, that's your role. And when women act like women, it's a beautiful thing.” [Rumble, America First, 12/16/25]
    • Fuentes stated: “I said women need to shut up. That is true.” He remarked: “Like, it is good advice. Every woman in your life, if you just got them to shut up more, good advice. … And the good ones will know that it's for their own benefit.” [Rumble, America First, 12/16/25]
    • Fuentes called weddings “humiliation rituals" and suggested people say “my prisoner” or “my bitch” instead of “my wife.” He said, “If you ever say the words ‘my wife’ you are cooked. Beyond belief. Acceptable alternatives: my prisoner, my bitch, that ho over there. But my wife? And then they call their wives by their names? Oh, I just can't. And the whole wedding thing? Oh, I can't do it, dude. I see these weddings. They're just humiliation rituals, you guys.” [Rumble, America First, 6/11/25]
    • Fuentes has argued that “there is nothing in the Bible that would tell you that men and women are the same, that they're equal, that they should have equal standing in society.” He complained, “Almost everybody today is defending the position that women should have political, social, legal equality.” Fuentes then argued further: “I don't want to hear women talking back to men. I don't want to hear women in public giving men shit, talking back, raising their voice. Women should not have the freedom to wear whatever they want, say whatever they want, go wherever.” [Rumble, America First, 3/28/25]
    • Fuentes has fantasized on his show about telling women: “Hey, shut the fuck up. You know, we don't want to hear you talk. I'll let you know when I want to hear you talk. I don't want to hear you talk right now, so shut the fuck up.” He continued: “When you really have a guy that's out there challenging women, and telling guys to challenge women, it seems like that is almost just as much of a forbidden subject as talking about the Jews.” [Rumble, America First, 3/28/25]
    • Fuentes asserted that “women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise.” [Rumble, America First, 3/28/25]
    • After the 2024 presidential debate between then-Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump, Fuentes claimed: “Women are really screwed up right now. They're screwed up. They're unpleasant. They're annoying.” He went on, saying, “And a lot of women, they do look at Trump as like a predator because they're all obsessed with sexual abuse.” [Rumble, America First, 9/10/24]
    • Fuentes remarked: “I love my mom. But, you know, my mom is a woman, and women are emotional.” He also said: “Men have to assert themselves without literally any regard for what women think. Your girlfriend, your mom, your sister, your wife — don't listen to them.” [Rumble, America First, 9/25/23]

  • Fuentes has claimed women are “idiots” who are “made to have kids”

    • Fuentes claimed: “Women exist for sex. That is why they are mothers, or they are whores, or they are nuns. End of list.” He also said: “Rape is something that is played up because of the way that women have politicized sexuality. Women want to have no consequences for their actions, so rape is always a convenient excuse.” Fuentes added that “women are childlike until they hit menopause.” [Rumble, America First, 2/17/26]
    • Fuentes stated he's “OK” with women hating him because “women are idiots.” He said, “Women hate me. That's what women think of me. They think of me as a racist little woman hater. And I'm OK with that. You want to know why? Women are idiots. Most women are complete idiots. So if you go to a woman and you say anything that's like not socially acceptable, they just reflexively go, ew. I'm OK with that.” [Rumble, America First, 1/30/26]
    • Fuentes said: “Your average woman, controlled by her loins, controlled by her primal impulses, she would crawl on hands and knees, bloodied and bashed, on fire, for miles to have a chance with a 6-foot-5 genetically superior male.” He said: “The only thing that constrains that is patriarchy. The only thing that constrains that is a blanket societal stigma around being a whore. That's it. It's the man's ability to enforce and reinforce the social expectations.” [Rumble, America First, 1/26/26]
    • After stating that he’s “a super high IQ person,” Fuentes announced, “I think women are dumber than men.” He continued, “I find them extraordinarily annoying, and I don't know how most men don't,” and added: “If I'm ever going to get married, the arrangement is not going to be that I'm getting nagged, that I'm getting told what to do, that I'm checking in with my wife. It's like, you're going to do your fucking obligations. You're going to leave me alone, and you're going to be my wife. You're not going to be my buddy. You're not going to be my best friend. You're going to be my damn ass wife.” [Rumble, The Debrief with Myron Gaines, 8/14/25]
    • Fuentes claimed that “women are made to have kids” and that “that's their biological imperative.” He said, “That is how their bones are structured, that's how their brains are structured. They are made to have kids.” [Rumble, America First, 6/20/23]

  • Fuentes has complained about women in politics and repeatedly attacked women in right-wing media

    • Fuentes stated that “the man is the fucking man of the house, and the man should be the man of the conservative movement, too.” He added: “I know I’m the fucking incel loser, but we need to put women in their place, and it starts with our political movement.” [Rumble, America First, 12/16/25]
    • Fuentes called on podcaster Candace Owens’ husband, George Farmer, to “control” her. He ranted, “George, get your bitch in line, control your bitch. You can't have your wife talking about other men like that. Honestly, Tim Pool should beat the shit out of George Farmer. He's got that coming. A lot of people. A lot of people should be kicking George Farmer's ass for the way his wife has been talking.” [Rumble, America First, 12/16/25]
    • Fuentes bemoaned the number of major conservative figures who are women. He said: “As a man, I'm going to start to say, look, I'm going to be honest here for a second, and I hope you can handle this. How is it that the conservative movement is constantly preaching traditional values, a return to masculinity, strength, and nationalism, but it's all women running the show?” [Rumble, America First, 12/16/25]
    • Asked about women in politics, Fuentes replied, “We do not want women in politics.” He added: “Women are not even interested in politics, OK? ... And you just can't have women in a male space.” “Get married, have kids,” he said. [Rumble, America First, 8/27/25]
    • Fuentes declared that he has “zero tolerance for feminism” and that “most of the women you find in politics, they're just feminist bitches.” He added: “Women are inherently attention-seeking. They all want to be Hannah Montana.” [Rumble, America First, 8/5/25]
