Ben's Libertarian Take and Gay Men as Moral Guardians
from #297 - The Lodge From Hell | The Tim Dillon Show · #297

Ben argues prohibition never stops behavior (citing drugs and prostitution), leading Tim into a bit about gay men becoming unlikely moral conservatives on the abortion issue since it doesn't personally affect them.
- Ben's libertarian argument that outlawing prostitution, drugs, and abortion creates worse problems without stopping the behavior anyway
- Tim pitches a platform to keep abortion "around three" months instead of eight
- Tim mocks the argument that legalizing fentanyl would lead to supervised use, imagining someone taking a scheduled fentanyl visit like a Starbucks trip
- Tim notes gay men are becoming moral guardians of America, arguing for moral limits on abortion and questioning abortion cafes at Starbucks
- Lesbians are "suited towards agriculture," but gay men can tell women to "calm it down" because they're unaffected by reproductive policy
- Gay men are uniquely positioned to oppose women's excessive freedoms, unlike straight men who just want sex
- Tim pivots back to the original topic: Bobby Lee, Annie Letterman, Brendan Schaub, and other moral questions with no easy answers
