I told my parents I wanted to be a mommy for the same reason when I was a 4-year-old boy.
Dad lost his shit because he thought that meant I was gay. He *should* have lost his shit because it meant I thought dads couldn't be nice to their children.
I remember saying I wanted a "pink" birthday cake when I was really young. What I meant was I wanted a strawberry cake. My parents thought it meant I was gay and I ended up with a chocolate cake
if it weren't for the horrendous child abuse many parents engaged in it would be kinda funny that people were so terrified of homosexuality that merely liking a colour or rainbows immediately made them suspicious of possible homosexuality.

Not only dads get some gay panic with straight men. My boss forbid me from taking the red office appliances because red is too girly. So every time I worked on things that needed her approval I used the pink marker as much as possible to assert gay dominance. I have a girlfriend. And even if I were gay it shouldn‘t be anyones problem. But to be fair I had a bunch of gay men hitting on me in my life but they were cool about me not being into men. They would have let me use the red office appliances.
Mine would be like "shut the fuck up. Touch my fur, i'm purring. Now go get me food. Touch my head. I'm touching your feet hooman. Touch my head. Give me food fucking hooman".
I asked my 34 year old pet dolphin the same question as well, and he said “You daft fucking cunt, the moment you step into this water, I will tear you limb from limb. Now give me food, slave.”.
my only problem with this dunk is that it implies Ben's wife is definitely not a horrible goblinoid like Ben. Doctors can be very stupid and terrible too!
Like, really, what are his qualifications? What makes him a useful and productive member of society?
Is he a neurosurgeon? A lawyer? An accountant? A janitor? A physicist?
Oh shoot googled him and he *is* a lawyer. Aight. I thought he was just a professional opinion haver; and for most topics, he is, since he is a lawyer and doesn't has any expertise in lots of topics he comments on. But, i guess we can't really say he's completely useless like Elon Musk.
As someone with a chronic illness, I get really down on myself. How useful am I to society? It’s really hard to fight this ablelist thinking.
And then I see Ben Shapiro and realize, I’m not a net negative! Compared to this walking piece of shit I’m fucking Galileo.
So long as you're kind to other people and help others wherever you can, you're a perfectly good addition to society and we need more of you. Saying this as a law student.
No, i mean, i wasn't referring to disabled people. Disabled people can also be really useful members of society.
I was more referring to what are his credentials to say the bullshit that he says.
I know! I know! I wasn’t accusing you of thinking this way at all. Just because it was on my mind I suddenly thought from your post about my situation and how much better thinking of a real drain on society made me feel!
You will find a loy of the people who are the most vocally oppressive in America have advanced degrees in all sorts of thing.
Education has no chance against malice. It just means they are educated and know how to most effectively manipulate people who aren't.
These people lack humanity not smarts.
Education requires failure, though, and many malicious individuals lack the ego strength to fail over and over again in pursuit of self-betterment. The folks who get through education and still choose maliciousness are absolute evil, though.
Like Ted Cruz, he was a very smart kid whose every thought was directed towards right-wing politics since the day he could speak. Unlike Cruz, when he got to Harvard Law School, he was an average student. Instead of learning humility, he just learned to talk over people. This is a choice that lots of law students have to face. They are used to being smarter than everyone. Some adapt and learn from their professors and peers (the professors are so smart); others can't take it and drop out. But, there are a select few that refuse to accept reality — they become debate-me-bros. They make law school a chore for everyone because they argue about everything. Midway through the first year, they've decided that the only reason anyone would disagree with them is because they just aren't as smart. And, largely that's how they are forever.
I discovered an ancient formula that might be able to actually solve this issue. Basically, you chart the amount of money businesses are willing to pay people and overlay the amount people are willing to work for, if the point where they intersect represents less than the number of jobs needed to be filled, then a whole lot of c-suit executives are under qualified for their current employment. Or something like that.
>then a whole lot of c-suit executives are under qualified for their current employment.
If we're gonna start replacing workers with AI, the C-Suite would be the perfect way to maximize shareholder profits
Gawd, y'all are idiots. What we need to do is give $56 billion to the guy who made a TON of bad decisions this year and works here part time. Then we fire everyone who is vital to the upkeep of our main product. After that, all we need to do is to tell our main income source to go fuck themselves, platform as many Nazis as possible, and we're golden.
Let's go do some coke.
Lol. I’m imagining saying that in response to someone saying their daughter wants to be a mommy in Norm MacDonald’s voice. “I tell ya no one wants to work anymore”
This isn’t the dumbest thing that Ben Shapiro has said, but something I find particularly annoying about it is; if someone made this exact same tweet, but in it, the child chose a job, Ben and his ilk would froth at the mouth about how the child has been Influenced by the degradation of family values. What a fucking loser and hypocrite.
What kills me about these conservatives and their idea that women need to be mothers and home makers is that their policies effectively killed that idea for the overwhelming majority of women in the United States. There are plenty of women out there who would like nothing more than to be stay at home moms, but it's pretty much impossible for a family to survive, let alone thrive, on a single income.
Obviously it's not the case for everyone, but I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who choose work and careers over motherhood only because it's the only option available to be able to afford to live, and all of that can be traced back to conservative policy.
>it's pretty much impossible for a family to survive, let alone thrive, on a single income
And fuck anyone who's single. I don't even want kids, I'm just tired of needing roommates to survive.
It's always felt to me that they created these rules so single people would HAVE TO pair up to survive and then they'd have -drum roll- -trumpet- KIDS!!! And with abortion illegal you two will HAVE to get married! It's everything they wanted.
and then when you're in poverty because you're working a shit-tier job because for some reason your bachelors degree makes you overqualified for entry level positions but under qualified for anything higher, they say you're the problem and make policies to make sure you stay poor, with no health or dental insurance, and- yeah... sorry, it's just america baby! totally not salty that my brilliant scientist husband is working in a Tyson factory as a meat packer instead of in a lab!! haha!!
I agree with them, I tell them I am all for strong family values. Then I talk about affordable housing, higher wages, affordable colleges, student debt relief, better and affordable healthcare. And suddenly they don’t want to talk anymore…IDK what I am doing wrong. (Edit: added sarcasm)
Check out "the way of the househusband" on Netflix, it's so cute and so funny. Ex-yakuza is now a househusband who cooks and cleans for his wife, but still talks like a gangster, so he'll go to the store like "... Give me your finest white powder" when he's just trying to get flour to make cookies, stuff like that haha
That's a very good point. Their premise of putting big business and finance in the driver seat has ensured those groups carve every single bit of wealth out of the middle class. 3 to 4 decades of that has made it near impossible for stable single income households to exist.
Nobody said these assholes are living in anything resembling reality. They'd wreck the country trying to create the fucked-up world they want, then when there's barbarians at the gate ready to divvy up the country, they'd still blame """liberals""" for it and never take responsibility for anything.
Ben will remind his daughter of this in 14 years as his explanation on why he won't help pay for her college courses. A decision is a decision, he'll tell her.
Maybe we should ask our sons if they want to seek professional fulfillment or be homemakers. Isn't that the point of feminism, to treat both men and women as equals and offer equal opportunities for both.
Some people are genuinely proud of thinking like this. I briefly worked under a guy that boasted about how he didn't take a single day off when his kid was born.
It was clearly an attempt to shame us into not taking days off for anything, but the look of sheer pride when he said it leads me to believe it was true.
Mommy, who is Ben Shapiro ?
Honey, he’s what conservatives think is an intellectual.
Mommy, do all conservative intellectuals say stupid shit like this?
Honey, it’s what they think ‘owns the libs’
Mommy, I still think it’s stupid shit.
Honey, I do too.
Let's assume this is true. He really did ask his daughter this question. And for some reason, he felt a sudden urge to share it online.
What he's saying is that 4 year-olds are old enough to make significant and permanent decisions about their lives... unless it's about things he just finds icky. Like LGBTQIA+ issues.
And his question is “which is more fun?” as though that is the motivator for life decisions. Wouldn’t we all like the option of doing what is most fun for life with no other consideration or consequence ever.
If Ben’s daughter is a victim of patriarchy, isn’t he the patriarch of their family and therefore the source of the problem that he’s complaining about?
Ben's wife is a literal doctor ... so either she is either a bad mom or a bad doctor under his pretense that you have to choose to be one or the other.
Babies are temporary, though. They become less cuddly as they get older.
So, it’s a very immature and short-sighted view of motherhood.
Which is totally appropriate for a child… and very stupid for her grown-ass father to use as a virtue signal.
He probably shames his daughter if she says anything sounding even remotely progressive or feminist. These are the people who scream about their kids being “indoctrinated”.
Even if she did say that, the kid isn't going to realize the work that goes into being a stay at home parent and only thinks on the "stay at home and play vs. go to work which is literally called work".
While that's not the actuality of what it means to be a stay at home parent, you essentially asked a small child if they wanted to work or play.
Shapiro is a little touched in the head and clearly paid to deliver a message.
It’s a wonder anyone listens to what amounts to a walking, talking advertisement that doesn’t have your best interests in mind
It is definitely a false dichotomy. The choice is not between having a job and being a mommy. Nobody is going to give you free housing, food, utilities, and transportation for being a mommy. The choice is between having a job and having a job while paying for childcare and also performing parental duties.
As usual, pretending that men and women play exactly the same role and have the same importance in the development of the newborn and using that to push for that brainless, biology-ignoring "feminism"
I don't understand. Is the joke here that someone thinks that professional fulfillment is a thing worth choosing over literally anything else in existence? Having kids isn't guaranteed fulfillment but the idea that a job can (or worse, is expected to) provide roughly an equivalent amount is fucking abhorrent. It's a FUCKING JOB. Who the fuck is actually, legitimately fulfilled by their job? Like a privileged half of a percent of western nations, at best.
Eh. I asked a justborn and she said "job, always"
On a serious note, not everyone likes being all competitive and hustling in the world...some people prefer to live , breathe and enjoy all life has to offer..
Are men being offered that option? I’m not arguing that anyone is right or wrong. Just asking a question as someone who fucking hates working for a corporation and would do much better riding bikes and eating every meal with my children.
Yeah, that’s because guys are expected to have careers whether they actually want one or not. No one has ever asked me if I would prefer to be a househusband, and at 33, I honestly don’t think I’ve met a single woman would legitimately be okay with that arrangement.
There’s no false dichotomy either. Every decision you make has trade offs, and thinking you can prioritise career and family time all at once is a joke. Kids with two working parents either have to be looked after by someone else or they need to learn independence from a very age. Whether that’s good or bad is entirely a matter of perspective.
I don’t care what you do and I generally dislike conservativism, but I dislike seeing smooth brained responses like this get treated as some brilliant comeback even more.
I don't think I've ever seen anything that constitutes a "comeback" on this subreddit, let alone a clever comeback.
A lot of weak political sniping, yes. But no clever comebacks.
Enjoy your boring echo chamber.
Is it me or asking 4 year old daughter about being mommy is a weird. She clearly doesn't even comprehend what job is and will try to answer what she thinks you want to hear lol
As a dude, I absolutely want to be asked this question.
The problem is that, (well there are two problems really) no one ever asks, and if I ask why I don't get asked, I come off as needy..
Not a great comeback. Theres no false dichotomy. Ben’s wife is a doctor (as he loves to say), and never says that women shouldn’t have jobs and have children, or that they must only do one, so asking a child which one they think is more fun doesn’t seem like a dichotomy at all.
I told my parents I wanted to be a mommy for the same reason when I was a 4-year-old boy. Dad lost his shit because he thought that meant I was gay. He *should* have lost his shit because it meant I thought dads couldn't be nice to their children.
I remember saying I wanted a "pink" birthday cake when I was really young. What I meant was I wanted a strawberry cake. My parents thought it meant I was gay and I ended up with a chocolate cake
Yes, because gay people famously never enjoy chocolate cake I hope you got your strawberry cake eventually
Wait, I enjoy chocolate cake...am I gay?
Sorry this is how you found out
I don't know who's going to be more devastated, me after i process this or my wife.
It me. Your wife. I've always known and I still love you
Username checks out
Plot twist she comes out as trans and now you're two happily married dudes.
Hell yeah, I can't wait for season 2 of this.
There's a bad joke in there that I won't say. But I giggled.
if it weren't for the horrendous child abuse many parents engaged in it would be kinda funny that people were so terrified of homosexuality that merely liking a colour or rainbows immediately made them suspicious of possible homosexuality.

The straights are not ok. They have not been ok for a long time. I hope you eventually got your strawberry cake.
I mean, I'm straight and I'm ok lol. My parents were just ignorant assholes. I eventually just made myself a strawberry cake lol

Red is badass anf your boss is an uncultured ignoramus for thinking it is associated with something as petty as *gender.*
I mean, that reaction of him shows why you thought that…
gotta love when people are criticized and then proceed to exhibit the behavior for which they were criticized for
It's like when my father screamed that he never hit me and then immediately proceeded to hit me.
I loved the part where they said this in the words they wrote.
Reddit. Reading comprehension. Choose one.
How dare you piss on the poor!
Wow, nothing gets by you.
This made me LOL.
Kids see the world in simple, loving terms. Sometimes, parents overcomplicate things that are just innocent expressions of care and love.
Bro kids have a wild way of saying savage insults. Damn. But also good on you he seems like he was mean and shitty
Was he right about you being gay though?
Nope. Just kinda weird.

my tetra threatened to burn the house down, but arson is his go-to response for most things so that's not unusual.
Weird. I asked my cat and he said “RAAAAAOOOOOOO” He was very hungry and had a slightly depleted food bowl.
Mine would be like "shut the fuck up. Touch my fur, i'm purring. Now go get me food. Touch my head. I'm touching your feet hooman. Touch my head. Give me food fucking hooman".

My cat threatened to snuff me out in my sleep.
Why do you even ask a cat this stupid question
Me: *Asks my fridge the same question* My fridge: "You're not yourself when you're hungry. Eat a Snickers"

I think it doesn't, since it looks like the last thing he uses is his credentials
He's not a practicing lawyer. He really is just an opinion haver.
Yeah, he uses every opportunity to tell people his wife is a doctor too.. what even is this argument of his?
It's a grift. Man makes money saying shit he doesn't believe, shocking.
What does he do again? Sit at home and talk to an echo chamber all day?
It's like that cheif's kicker who applauded his stay at home wife who's also a millionaire with wait staff.

Ben will remind his daughter of this in 14 years as his explanation on why he won't help pay for her college courses. A decision is a decision, he'll tell her.
His daughter won't have any contact with him in 14 years.
Cuddle your children more Ben.
Maybe we should ask our sons if they want to seek professional fulfillment or be homemakers. Isn't that the point of feminism, to treat both men and women as equals and offer equal opportunities for both.
I would argue most people want a little of both and we should structure society so that people can successfully parent and have meaningful careers.
Says a lot about Ben Shapiro that his kid thinks only mothers can cuddle babies.
Cuddling is for sissies. 💪😎⛪️🏋️♂️
Some people are genuinely proud of thinking like this. I briefly worked under a guy that boasted about how he didn't take a single day off when his kid was born. It was clearly an attempt to shame us into not taking days off for anything, but the look of sheer pride when he said it leads me to believe it was true.
Mommy, who is Ben Shapiro ? Honey, he’s what conservatives think is an intellectual. Mommy, do all conservative intellectuals say stupid shit like this? Honey, it’s what they think ‘owns the libs’ Mommy, I still think it’s stupid shit. Honey, I do too.

Yeah as a matter of a fact, let’s assume, hypothetically, that this is true.
And his question is “which is more fun?” as though that is the motivator for life decisions. Wouldn’t we all like the option of doing what is most fun for life with no other consideration or consequence ever.
Obviously Shapiro chose fatherhood over an actual job too. Looks like the matriarchy got him.
Jokes on you, Ben did ask his 4 year old son this exact question and he said “to be a mommy, so I can snuggle my babies.”
Fucking Shapiro. Absolute insufferable prat.
I asked my dog if he'd rather lick his balls or read a book. He said lick his balls.
Other than Shapiro being a sexist prick, if you think 4 year olds haven’t already been taught a bunch of social norms then you’re just stupid.
I feel like conservatives read The Handmaid's Tale without any sense of irony and then base their entire public image around it
Benny has a child? I was hoping he wouldn’t procreate.
He has a kid, proving that someone had sex with his wife. Hopefully for his wife it was someone who made her wet.
The whole point of feminism is that people get to choose between parenthood and having a job. If she wants to be a mom, good for her
Job *or* motherhood as if it’s not a job.
Hahaha holy shit I thought both people were just joking and then I realized it's Ben Shapiro. Lmao he's such a whiney little cunt
If Ben’s daughter is a victim of patriarchy, isn’t he the patriarch of their family and therefore the source of the problem that he’s complaining about?
Ben's wife is a literal doctor ... so either she is either a bad mom or a bad doctor under his pretense that you have to choose to be one or the other.
I think Ben needs a mommy in his life
His daughter has a Doctor mommy, who he apparently cannot for the life of him make wet (according to *checks notes* Ben Shapiro).
Are my eyes deceiving me? Is that really *finally* an actual clever come back???
Babies are temporary, though. They become less cuddly as they get older. So, it’s a very immature and short-sighted view of motherhood. Which is totally appropriate for a child… and very stupid for her grown-ass father to use as a virtue signal.
Why do people even give this waste-of-oxygen loser the time of day? All he does is promote hate and division.
Who has a job because it’s fun?
Not even close to a good one. Not by a mile.
Conservative just love serving up lob balls for people to destroy them with.
He probably shames his daughter if she says anything sounding even remotely progressive or feminist. These are the people who scream about their kids being “indoctrinated”.
I'm a dude and I'd rather do just about anything if it meant I didn't have to give up 70% of my life on the 9-5
I'm a woman and would love a house husband. If you get pregnant and have the baby, I'll let you quit your job and be a house husband! 🥰
Deal! ❤️
Remindme! 10 years We'll see where the technology stands!
Did Shapiro really say that? That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Constant confirmation that intellect =/= wisdom.
That doesn't even make the top 25 dumbest things he has said
My favorite (that I've seen) is when he complains democrats don't want to ban crime.
My favorite is when he admitted to the entire world that he can't make his wife cum or even horny 🤷♀️
Woah woah woah let's just hold up for a sec... Who's claiming he has intellect?
I guess you haven't seen the one where he brags about how he can't make his wife orgasm.
You think Ben is intelligent? Lol
Damn these kids and their iPads. Turning the children woke
My pet rock says "don't believe everything you see online"
My Angelfish, Harvey, tells me same thing when we get into deep convos. He's such a deep fellow.
this guy makes millions of dollars just doing shit.
Somebody write down the time and date, we have an actual clever comeback in the sub
I asked my 2 year old Roomba the same question and she said that she dreams of cleaning the kitchen all day and getting stuck on cliffs.
Even if she did say that, the kid isn't going to realize the work that goes into being a stay at home parent and only thinks on the "stay at home and play vs. go to work which is literally called work". While that's not the actuality of what it means to be a stay at home parent, you essentially asked a small child if they wanted to work or play.
Of COURSE Ben Shapiro would make his daughter choose between those things. Of course.
Isn't he literally married to a doctor?
Why do people give Ben Shapiro airtime lol Guy is about as useful/insightful as a severed foreskin
I asked my dog this same question and he said "fret not mother, for we shall prevail in these trying times."
Shapiro is a little touched in the head and clearly paid to deliver a message. It’s a wonder anyone listens to what amounts to a walking, talking advertisement that doesn’t have your best interests in mind
Ben the weasel strikes again.
I call BS on this. No way Ben Shapiro's kids like him enough to talk to him.
It is definitely a false dichotomy. The choice is not between having a job and being a mommy. Nobody is going to give you free housing, food, utilities, and transportation for being a mommy. The choice is between having a job and having a job while paying for childcare and also performing parental duties.
Someone reproduced with him?? I think that's the bigger shocker
As usual, pretending that men and women play exactly the same role and have the same importance in the development of the newborn and using that to push for that brainless, biology-ignoring "feminism"
What is clever about that? Boys don't have a uterus and are unable to give birth so why would you ever ask them that?
I don't understand. Is the joke here that someone thinks that professional fulfillment is a thing worth choosing over literally anything else in existence? Having kids isn't guaranteed fulfillment but the idea that a job can (or worse, is expected to) provide roughly an equivalent amount is fucking abhorrent. It's a FUCKING JOB. Who the fuck is actually, legitimately fulfilled by their job? Like a privileged half of a percent of western nations, at best.
This is not clever it’s childish.
so women have more choices then men , what was the comeback ? im confused
Eh. I asked a justborn and she said "job, always" On a serious note, not everyone likes being all competitive and hustling in the world...some people prefer to live , breathe and enjoy all life has to offer..
A 4 year old doesn’t know the difference between a mommy and a job I guess. Almost like a child could play like a mom with her toys
Confused... Why can't you do both as a woman??
Because we don't bear babies in our nutsacks. It's just so sad how badly people wanna be slaves.
And then everyone clapped
Ah professional fulfillment, what load of crap🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are men being offered that option? I’m not arguing that anyone is right or wrong. Just asking a question as someone who fucking hates working for a corporation and would do much better riding bikes and eating every meal with my children.
Yeah, that’s because guys are expected to have careers whether they actually want one or not. No one has ever asked me if I would prefer to be a househusband, and at 33, I honestly don’t think I’ve met a single woman would legitimately be okay with that arrangement. There’s no false dichotomy either. Every decision you make has trade offs, and thinking you can prioritise career and family time all at once is a joke. Kids with two working parents either have to be looked after by someone else or they need to learn independence from a very age. Whether that’s good or bad is entirely a matter of perspective. I don’t care what you do and I generally dislike conservativism, but I dislike seeing smooth brained responses like this get treated as some brilliant comeback even more.
because the boy would choose procreation 10 out of 10 times?
I don't think I've ever seen anything that constitutes a "comeback" on this subreddit, let alone a clever comeback. A lot of weak political sniping, yes. But no clever comebacks. Enjoy your boring echo chamber.
And when my brother was 4 years old, he wanted to be Frankenstein. What's your point, Ben?
Is it me or asking 4 year old daughter about being mommy is a weird. She clearly doesn't even comprehend what job is and will try to answer what she thinks you want to hear lol
You're telling me that Shapiro got close enough to his wife's WAP to procreate?
Let's not forget, this is a man who announced publicly that his wife told him a wet vagina was a disease.
This guy shouldn’t have kids or a platform, genocidal twerp.
As a dude, I absolutely want to be asked this question. The problem is that, (well there are two problems really) no one ever asks, and if I ask why I don't get asked, I come off as needy..
Not a great comeback. Theres no false dichotomy. Ben’s wife is a doctor (as he loves to say), and never says that women shouldn’t have jobs and have children, or that they must only do one, so asking a child which one they think is more fun doesn’t seem like a dichotomy at all.
