Shapiro was responding to a Monday CBC article headlined, \u201c\u2018It\u2019s a slippery slope\u2019: How young men fall into online radicalization,\u201d which sought to blame him in part for the fact that some males become alt-right extremists after listening to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently it is fully OK to make a slippery slope argument when I say something that is not extreme, it\u2019s possible to make the argument that somebody might view that and then see something that\u2019s a little more extreme, a little more extreme, that eventually they end up being a Nazi,\u201d Shapiro marveled.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CBC<\/a> says I\u2019m radicalizing young men, but can\u2019t name any radical views I supposedly promote.

The article specifically called Shapiro\u2019s claim that transgender people suffer from a mental disorder \u201ccontroversial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-ben-shapiro-show\/id1047335260\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD BEN SHAPIRO\u2019S LATEST PODCAST<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to pretend that men who say they are women are actually suffering from some sort of mind-bodymisalignment, and the problem is with their bodies,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cSo if you just chop off some body parts, then magically they\u2019re a woman because their brain is the brain of a woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, you might have to have a mental disorder to believe that, but that\u2019s actually not science,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>One line in the CBC article captures how it sought to say Shapiro is responsible for extremism \u2013 even though he is not an extremist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Shapiro is not affiliated with any hate group, experts in media, gender studies and the radicalization of young men say that the commentator\u2019s content is prevalent in online extremist communities,\u201d author Brock Wilson wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cexperts\u201d are not named.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd who are these experts?\u201d Shapiro wondered. \u201cDo they just sit in an Ivy League war room and discuss their expertise in front of students?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re experts, by the way, in gender studies,\u201d he continued. \u201cOh, well! Experts in gender studies, that must mean that they believe a bunch of crap that isn\u2019t true\u2026that is not a major that qualifies you for anything except being a professor in gender studies. That is a fully self-perpetuating cycle of uselessness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cslippery slope\u201d Shapiro is supposedly key to leads to dangerous alt-right views like the objectification of women and racism, ideals Shapiro said he has always vehemently rejected. The real objective of the article, and of much of the Left, Shapiro said in a Monday tweet, is to define speech and beliefs it disagrees with as \u201charmful\u201d so that it can be silenced and even criminalized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere comes the media attempt to get me banned from social media,\u201d wrote Shapiro, who has 4.5 million Twitter followers and the nation\u2019s biggest political podcast audience. \u201cThey can\u2019t name which views of mine are particularly radical, so they just go for the \u201cI\u2019m radicalizing the youths!\u201d Pathetic garbage from the Canada\u2019s public broadcaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canada has become increasingly intolerant of free speech and unwilling to protect children from the mentally ill adults, Shapiro said. He cited the case of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/school-district-defends-trans-shop-teacher-whose-enormous-fake-breasts-spurred-internet-furor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transgender teacher in Ontario<\/a> who wears absurdly huge prosthetic breasts in the classroom. Video and images of the teacher went viral, prompting mockery, derision, and concern for the children of Oakville Trafalgar High School. But the school sprang to the defense of the teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strive to promote a positive learning environment in schools consistent with the values of the HDSB and to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students, staff and the community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socioeconomic circumstances or body type\/size,\u201d school officials wrote in an email to parents.<\/p>\n<p>That, Shapiro said, is how backwards the Left has things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee, this is not extreme,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not extreme to foist upon students sexual perverts. That\u2019s what that is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not even talking about a person who just has gender dysphoria,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about a person the picture shows who\u2019s wearing watermelon-sized breasts in front of high school students with fake nipples attached to them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Shapiro isn\u2019t a radical himself, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation acknowledges, yet somehow he is radicalizing young men by espousing mainstream beliefs that have only recently become \u201ccontroversial\u201d to the Left.
