I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

So we have a lot to get to today. Apparently, writing The Handmaid's Tale is not enough to get you off the hook with the feminist. You actually have to be a full-fledged crazy person in order to earn the love of the feminist movement. We'll talk about that in just a second. First, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Dollar Shave Club. So you've heard me talk before of the amazing shave that I get using my Dollar Shave Club razor. I use it right here under my jaw line because in Judaism you have to use an electric razor above that. But the razor is just fantastic. And I use their Dr. Carver's shave butter as well.
