    Let's say, hypothetically, that you're right and speech is violence. Now, I speak at colleges and people go to college to learn. Given that learning is fun and a gladiator is one who commits acts of violence for entertainment, I am, by definition, a gladiator. Therefore, according to your own logic, you are entertained, are you not?

    The idea that the left HATES Shapiro is so phenomenally out of touch. He is literally an endless well of unintentional comedy. He has done more to bring people over the left of the center line than any policy debate could. Ben is the ultimate caricature of self defeating, hapless, nescience on the right; it'd be too on the nose if it were anywhere in fiction. He is the Ignatius T. Reilly of RUclips sycophants, and it is PERFECT.

    24:50 Ben's analogy is specious for a couple reasons, but one is that time has an accepted, gradated system of measurement that gender does not. We can say that something takes one hour, fifty-seven minutes, and thirty-two seconds to occur; we cannot say that someone is "male" to the tune of 14.375 degrees or 18 milipascals or 400 megagenders or anything similar. So if, in Ben's world, gender is "male" or "female" with nothing in between, then for him to be consistent he would also have to claim that human ages are either "young" or "old", with no room for gradation or self-determination.
