Jaaziel Bournes (J. Bournes) is no stranger to strong opinions. As the founder of Halo Squad and the visionary behind the upcoming fashion house Zarvani (in 2025). Bournes has built a brand on "Premium Execution" and unshakeable confidence. However, his recent comments regarding gender roles and the workforce have sparked intense debate.
Critics have been quick to label his traditionalist views as misogynistic, citing his belief that women "should not work." In an exclusive sit-down, Bournes clarifies his position, arguing that his philosophy isn't born out of hatred, but out of a deep, protective empathy rooted in his own upbringing.
We asked J. Bournes to respond directly to the critics.
Interviewer: Jaaziel, let’s address the elephant in the room. You’ve made statements suggesting women shouldn't be in the workforce. In 2025, that is a controversial take. Many people hear that and immediately label you a misogynist. What is your response to those claims?
J. Bournes: Some people think I’m misogynistic, but in reality, I’m very empathetic towards women.
My vision is clear: 10 years from now, I will make sure that my wife is treated like a queen. She won’t have to work. I want to create an environment where she can nurture a generation of success alongside me, without the burden of the grind.
Interviewer: You emphasize the word "have" to work. But you’ve also referenced biological differences. Can you elaborate on why you believe this dynamic is necessary?
J. Bournes: The reason I don’t believe women should work—and let me be clear, it’s not that they can’t—is not only because men are biologically stronger and built to carry that load, but it comes from a personal place.
Interviewer: personal place?
J. Bournes: Yes. When you’re raised by a single mom like me, you see a different side of reality. You see her work her butt off. You watch that struggle, and there’s nothing you can do about it as a child.
In places like Delaware, the job limits and generational discrimination make it even harder. It causes you to look at that struggle and say, "I never want to see a woman work like that again."
Interviewer: So, for you, this isn't about restricting women

The Bournes Philosophy
While his views may remain polarizing, J. Bournes makes one thing clear: his ideology is driven by a desire to be the ultimate provider. Whether this is viewed as archaic restriction or chivalrous protection remains up to the public, but Bournes is standing firm in his truth.
Interviewer: but rather about shielding them from a system you feel treats them unfairly?
J. Bournes: Exactly. So no—I’m not a woman hater or a "bad guy." I just love women. I want to provide a life where the women I love don't have to face that hardship. That’s not hate; that’s the ultimate form of respect.
