I think he actually started his climb towards the spotlight by causing people to call for his expulsion as a professor at the University of Toronto for refusing to call a transgender student by their name and refusing to use their preferred pronouns. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the protest against him simply made him reach a wider audience with his hate speech.

    Whichever way he came into the spotlight, those weren't the things I saw of his interviews and lectures. While it was obvious he was at least a bit sexist, his talks about personal responsibility and bringing back the better parts of traditional values weren't so bad.

    I mean, stopping a divorce by making people make their marriage work by actually working on it? Not a crazy idea, yet not exactly something that is often said in the last few decades.
