Ben Shapiro triggers feminist horde (and the dictionary) over Mother's Day story about his 4-year-old daughter

Ben Shapiro shared an adorable story about his 4-year-old daughter on Mother’s Day, but since this is Twitter, it was immediately met with scorn and ridicule from the blue-check mob:

I asked my 4-year-old daughter this morning whether she thought it would be more fun to have a job or be a mommy. She said, "To be a mommy, so I can cuddle my babies." Clearly, she has already been victimized by the patriarchy.

Here’s but a small sample of the hate that “so I can cuddle my babies” generated:

The fact that you framed it to her as an either / or is the problem, Ben. https://t.co/8xrH1FzsKX

I asked my 4-year-old son this evening whether he thought you were an idiot and he said yes. https://t.co/ahTyqbrJF2

I'm 100% sincerely confused because I hear this guy talked up as a logic master who DESTROYS and WRECKS people in debate, so I expect some decent sophistry at least, yet every time he's RTed into my TL there's a fallacy that would be marked wrong in an Intro Phil class. https://t.co/Y0Ebdmbskz

Isn't your wife a doctor? Kinda weird to make this a competition when the whole damn point of feminism is respecting the autonomy of all people, regardless of gender. If your daughter chooses to be a stay-at-home parent, that's an honorable CHOICE. See how that works, Ben? https://t.co/fbJQ07xX3V
