Whoopi Goldberg playfully chided her View co-host Sunny Hostin for advocating for diversity, inclusion, and equity during an animated discussion on feminism on the show.

On Tuesday’s episode (May 6), Goldberg introduced the topic by questioning her co-hosts about why singer Gloria Gaynor chooses not to label herself as a feminist, even though her famous song “I Will Survive” is often seen as a “feminist anthem.”

While Sara Haines noted the widespread misunderstanding that feminism entails a dislike of men, Hostin linked the topic to the broader resistance to diversity and equity emerging from the White House.

She pointed out that supporting equality is now viewed as “a bad thing,” prompting Goldberg to playfully tease her co-host.

“Oh, you’re so woke!” Goldberg joked, prompting a laugh from their co-hosts and audience.

Hostin didn’t miss a beat as she fired back, “I’m just too woke, Whoopi!”

She continued, “The bottom line is you can be someone that supports women having equal rights, and Black people having rights, and people that are disabled having equal rights and people in the LGBTQ community having equal rights and still love a man!”

Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin also went back and forth when Griffin claimed she also doesn’t identify as a feminist.

“I think that it becomes this sort of loaded term that people may interpret in different ways, like you’re burning your bra or you hate men,” Griffin explained, later adding, “I feel that way, like I’m probably a feminist but I don’t say I am because I’m sure there’s something maybe I don’t [agree with].”

Haines immediately pushed back, telling Griffin, “You’re absolutely a feminist. I’m confirming that for you.”

As Griffin continued speculating whether she checks all the boxes of a feminist, Haines maintained, “No you check all the boxes, you’re good. No one’s asking for the bra sacrifice.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
