Plibersek Slams Tyson Gordons Sexist Comments

Tanya Plibersek has launched a blistering attack on Married At First Sight groom Tyson Gordon, taking aim at his sexist behaviour.

The Minister for Social Services MP, 56, shared a clip to social media showing a MAFS excerpt in which Tyson, 30, said he wanted an 'obedient woman' for a partner and likened it to coercive control.

'Seriously, this guy. This is exactly the sort of controlling behaviour we are trying to combat when we talk about getting rid of coercive control,' Plibersek began.

'The fact that this is being mainstreamed on a really popular show is really disappointing.'

She added that the creators of MAFS should be more responsible about the messages they are promoting on their show.

'I really think the makers of this show need to think twice before platforming this sort of misogyny,' she said. 

The groom in question has developed a reputation for loudly declaring his controversial 'anti-woke' views. 

During Sunday's episode, opinions, shocking his bride Stephanie Marshall and the series experts in the process.

The outspoken groom immediately got off on the wrong foot by making an outdated assertion about his partner.

'I felt like Steph didn't support me, she's very quiet. I get it, she is a female so probably didn't want to be argumentative,' Tyson told the experts.

However, Steph was having none of it, and bluntly told Tyson that any relationship challenges they were facing had nothing to do with her gender.

'I don't think it has anything to do with being a female. I feel I meet Tyson's requirements, I'm goal-driven, ambitious, a family girl, I feel like I tick a lot of those boxes. But he doesn't like any of that... It's too masculine!' Steph retorted.

Tyson then accused his TV wife of 'talking down' to him in a 'pretentious' manner.

However, series expert John Aiken called Tyson out, saying the way he spoke to Steph was much worse.
