What True Evil Looks Like | Ep. 346

Gender Identity

Ben Shapiro critiques the concept of gender identity, particularly the notion that menstruation is not exclusive to women. He references a Huffington Post tweet and a trans advocate's perspective, arguing that such views contradict biological facts. Shapiro expresses concern over societal acceptance of these ideas, suggesting they mislead young people and impose on societal norms 1.

Believing you're a man, this is something that requires, I don't know, that there's a great treatment available, but society pretending that you are a man, having a period is not the solution to your problems.

--- Ben Shapiro

He emphasizes the importance of adhering to biological truths and criticizes the media for promoting what he sees as misinformation 2.

   

Feminist Rhetoric

In his analysis of feminist rhetoric, Shapiro addresses Jody Allard's controversial views on rape culture and toxic masculinity. He critiques Allard's public statements about her sons, arguing that her approach amounts to public shaming rather than education 3.

In the pages of the Washington Post, she wrote, direct, quote, my sons are part of the problem. That is not education. That is public shaming.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro questions the validity of Allard's claims about men inherently making women feel unsafe, highlighting the existence of functional relationships between men and women throughout history 3.
