Man, I love how totally valid and normal thought is now labeled as "controversial". You gotta flag wrong-thinkers from the getgo right? Can't let anyone have any wrong ideas.

I agree with many of his ideas and I agree with the label controversial. A lot of people like his ideas, and a lot of people hate them. That's pretty much the definition of controversial. They didn't use the headline to call him bigoted or misogynistic, which I could imagine some other publications doing.

Doesn't he get protested all over by various groups? So by observation I think he is controversial, though I also haven't really heard anything from him that sounded exceedingly inflammatory or anything

I was thinking the same thing. His ideas aren't really what I would consider controversial, I'm actually baffled that it's labeled as such.
