Not going to comment on the CBC program in particular but I do think there is an element of truth to this. I think dudes are getting kind of pissy because some of their longstanding beliefs and traditions are being rightly called out for sexism, racism, etc., and they're not happy about the choice between changing them or being considered pariahs so they lash out and claim it's a free speech issue.
Obviously sometimes that goes too far to the point of absurdity but I've certainly seen the angry white dude phenomenon up close and in person (anecdotal I know).
