Right-wing pundit and former Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro is totally up in arms over Cardi B’s new song “WAP.” He thinks it’s absolutely disgusting! So much so that he felt the need to recite the lyrics on his podcast this week.
“This is what feminists fought for?” Shapiro raged. “This is what the feminist movement was all about!?”

“It’s not really about women being treated as independent, full, rounded human beings. It’s about wet ass p-word. And if you say anything differently you’re a misogynist.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Shapiro, who once penned a very long op-ed about why he swears he’s not interested in trying gay sex, then proceeded to read the song’s lyrics aloud.

Twitter responded accordingly…
So Ben Shapiro is pretending that Cardi B’s song WAP offends him by reading her lyrics out, abbreviating a P-word, but the creepy little racist is and was okay with a rapist saying he would grab women by the pussy? Oh okay.

Ben Shapiro is right. Cardi B is a terrible role model for young women.
Listen to classy artist like Kid Rock. My favorite of his “Balls in Your Mouth”
Pure evangelical lyrics.

never seen a WAP— Kellogg’s Hard Lemonade (@1998hondacoupe) August 12, 2020
After seeing Shaprio’s reaction, Cardi B herself responded by tweeting, “I can’t believe conservatives soo mad about WAP.”

It’s no surprise to us, however.
After all, the modus operandi for conservatives has always been to feign outrage over anything involving sex and promiscuity while secretly engaging in the same exact behavior behind closed doors and very often with people other than their spouses.
But Shapiro isn’t the only ring wingnut clutching his pearls over what has quickly become the song of the summer.
Republican James P. Bradley, who is currently running from congress in California, said he “accidentally” heard it and that it caused him to “want to pour holy water in my ears and I feel sorry for future girls if this is their role model!”
Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure. Their new "song" The #WAP (which i heard accidentally) made me want to pour holy water in my ears and I feel sorry for future girls if this is their role model!

Seriously, boys. Calm down.

He also lost his shit at Ariana’s “God is a Woman.” I mean he’s a joke!! Lol

Ben Shapiro is so short, he still can’t ride rides at the fair. What a tragic little woman.

the womens rights movement was to allow women to be anything or say anything they wanted just like white men get to. I am offended by Mr SHapiro and his obvious hatred of womens bodies. ANd as to him not being interested in trying gay sex. No one asked you to. Im am sure as a gay man who has had a fair amount of sex your male pus*y NEVER gets wet

Some people feel song lyrics are vulgar and shocking?!?!? That’s been going on since the beginning of recorded music. Back in the 1950’s, they thought Elvis Presley was the anti-Christ, with his swiveling hips and raunchy lyrics.

Tipper Gore tried this angle years ago (and she was a Democrat), didn’t work then for the Democrats and it won’t work now for the Republicans. Music has a way of transcending political divisions. That said, if I had an adolescent daughter, I’d likely prefer she not recite the lyrics during dinner, Sunday or otherwise.

It’s also hilarious that he cloaks his moral outrage in concern for feminism. As though he ever cared for equal rights, for women or anyone.
Even my grandparents didn’t get this worked up about song lyrics. My grandmother loved Prince!
Someone get this boy some smelling salts and pack him off somewhere like the Mormon Fundamentalist compound, he won’t hear any “dirty” music there. Or perhaps he’d prefer the Taliban.

You guys buried the lead!
After pretending to be offended, Shapiro then said that he asked his wife (who is a doctor, by the way. Did he mention?), and she told him that having a wet vulva is a sign of a medical condition. His WIFE told him that it’s super normal for women to be dry during sex.
It was an amazing self-burn.

Oh……My……..God………!
Brilliant.

Whether we agree with what he said, the man does have one point. Those lyrics are trash and the one who wrote it should be embarrassed by it. That’s their legacy? I’m all for these people who wrote and sang the song to do so, as it’s protected in the constitution.
And I have the same right to disagree with it. Women should hold each other up and work to be more dignified than disgusting. I think Fiona Apple is great example of what a woman can do with a voice and not be vulgar without censoring herself either. She speaks her mind, but does so more eloquently than the ladies behind wap. It’s not my summer jam.

You all do realize Ben Shapiro is an Orthodox Jew? He is not Christian. While, I don’t care to listen to Cardi B as I think she is crass, not classy. I think people need to quit worrying about what other people’s opinions are, especially if they are not infringing on our rights as LGBT. Yeah, I know what Ben has said about the LGBT, and he’s not right but we don’t need to give him any more air time. Controversy helps people like him get more air time.

What a tip top toe tapping poptastic ditty. It’s a floor filler at our village hall dances.

He looks like one of Eddie Munsters toys

Im gay and I know they get wet. Im shocked his wife a doctor thinks they dont. WTF is up with that? He must not excite her very much but he looks like he is a boy not a man

If it is outraging conservatives or religious folk or prudes of any sort, I LOVE it. Keep offending these bores.

Somebody tell the little Nazi shrimp to shut up and slither back under his rock with the rest of the criminal enabling Republicans.

Yeah he’s not gay at all LOL

No, he likely isn’t. He’s more like a super uptight straight guy who is easily threathened by strong women. He also doesn’t have too much experience with the female anatomy because he’s a dweeb and most women don’t find him attractive. That’s why his fanbase is mostly made up of incels.
Truth is a lot of the praise for this song comes from many gay men. Most men who have an issue with it happen to be straight because they are the ones who have been controlling women’s sexuality and prefer keeping it that way.

You mean he hasn’t felt about up there yet?

We know the “P” word. That’s what trump says he grabs. What did you say about that? Did trump swipe Stormy’s “P” word? I bet she made him. Benjamin needs a stiff one in his “P” word.
