@SmudgeTheInsultCat A man talking to an imagined daughterโ€“so profoundly sad.
@andreaslindholm @SmudgeTheInsultCat the guy has obviously been spending too much time on the computer. He should get out and touch some grass
@SmudgeTheInsultCat And if his "daughter" said she would rather have a job, does that mean she's been victimized by the feminazis?
@SmudgeTheInsultCat
Imagine being the daughter of Ben Shapiro..
@SharkAttak @SmudgeTheInsultCat ofc she wants to be her mommy if the alternative is being her daddy
@SmudgeTheInsultCat to be fair, if you are Ben Shapiro's daughter you are already victimised by the patriarchy.

@jaryl @SmudgeTheInsultCat Exactly the first thing I thought when I got to the end of his tweet. "Well, Ben, she's *your* daughter..."

Calling her "victimised by the patriarchy" is putting it very mildly. I don't even want to contemplate the twisted upbringing that girl's already had, never mind what's in store for her over the next however-many-years-it-takes-before-she-gets-out (hoping devoutly that she does).

@SmudgeTheInsultCat
Trolling Ben Shapiro is a job for a young girl to aspire to.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Why didn't Shapiro ask his mom? She was both a TV executive and a mother.

Oh yeah, and his wife is an MD, so she might have some ideas on the subject.

Or maybe he could ask his sister Abby, who's a mom in addition to being an opera singer and social media personality.

He could ask his cousin, Mara Wilson... but she's gone no contact with him. Can't imagine why.

It's like there's ALL KINDS of adults Ben could ask and get a series of thoughtful, nuanced responses... if he wanted.

Hey, Ben, is it more fun to ask serious questions of adult women or rhetorically interrogate a kindergartner?

@Soozcat @SmudgeTheInsultCat I notice a trend where the daughters of successful women follow their mothers, while a lot of sons of successful women resent their mothers.
@SmudgeTheInsultCat But Shapiro is correct that his daughter has been victimized by the patriarchy. So his cute little joke falls flat, and he needs to spend more time cuddling his babies so he can understand...
@SmudgeTheInsultCat imagine you have to grow up as Ben Shapiros daughter...
@SmudgeTheInsultCat my four year old son to his four year old (female) nursery friend: "Let's play Mary and Josef with baby Jesus. I am Josef because I am a boy, you are Mary because you are a girl. I stay at home with baby Jesus, while you go to the office to work."
@SmudgeTheInsultCat How much does a 4 year old know about having a job compared to what they know about the mother role?
@SmudgeTheInsultCat If Shapiro had really followed up on that reasoning, he'd be a firetruck driver now...
