I just want to say I thoroughly enjoyed this piece and I've never seen anything that articulates why Peterson's views are bullshit as well as this. I'm happy more and more people are finally pushing back against this right wing huckster. Ironically enough, I think the Cathy Newman interview that so many are quick to deride was the catalyst that launched him into the mainstream and prompted more people to examine his views more critically. I'm almost certain his recent surge in popularity will be his own undoing. He was probably better off preaching to the choir while flying under the radar. The more he speaks, the more ammunition he gives his critics. Keep up the good work and don't let the bastards get you down. I'm an instant fan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803968301819610550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-10174592302518753162018-02-15T09:41:54.250-08:002018-02-15T09:41:54.250-08:00"now i assume there are some petterson lectur..."now i assume there are some petterson lectures that arent far right"<br />maybe in his early youtube days but his paranoia has consumed him. im a fan of jung so i watched his video on the 2 brothers and it hasd to be seen to believed, he will go off on 30 minute tangents about how women need to have kids, and at onbe point said that postmodernists are gaying up the shepherds(yes really). theres also a letter he reads from a woman who said the ayahausca gods told her petterson was a divine incarnation of masculine power, id watch it if i were you eiynah those qoutes need to be displayed to take this fucker downnicksayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953509289608483268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-90166285358138362472018-02-13T05:56:52.922-08:002018-02-13T05:56:52.922-08:00Slightly off topic, but I don't have a twitter...Slightly off topic, but I don't have a twitter account. I've noticed Dave Rubin challenging people to debate Peterson when they criticize him. He presents himself as a neutral arbiter. I wonder if he'd be willing to mediate a conversation between his friend Sam Harris and Mike Cernovich. They seem to have some issues Dave could help them work on.

I am getting older, and there was a time when I might have believed that the world was progressing away from oppression and social hierarchy. I had hoped that all the bad things had happened to me and my peers might be avoided for younger generations. But instead, here's another man telling another generation of young men that it is their duty to dominate another generation of young women. And it's working on them. I see young men I thought were decent critical thinkers swallowing his rhetoric whole.<br /><br />So I get to spend middle age watching another generation of young women suffer all the same disappointments and mistreatments that mine did, which could have all been avoided if not for one man's arrogance, and know that nothing I say or do will make much difference, because once Peterson convinces his boys that women belong below them on the ladder, they have no reason to listen to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-5923121207734465802018-02-03T13:53:06.789-08:002018-02-03T13:53:06.789-08:00The fact that Peterson's misogyny resonates wi...The fact that Peterson's misogyny resonates with so many people is starting to make me a little nervous.

You fetishize high paying jobs but have no concept on the toll the workload has on people. You honestly thing men and women operate the same and it's just absurd.

Your story is unfortunate, but you are supporting his call for this kind of aggression by blurring the lines between being able to defend yourself from harm and punching women in the event you feel your ideas are being criticized. Those are different things, and equivocating the two, only serves in lowering the bar on male violence towards women.Clovasaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533959717961450948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-58237285322133582312018-02-02T06:06:59.605-08:002018-02-02T06:06:59.605-08:00^^^Another Anonymous Google Alerted sycophant... h...^^^Another Anonymous Google Alerted sycophant... hilarious!

I agree with your other criticisms.<br /><br />I am a man and was once in a situation where the only options open to me were to fight a woman or to have sex with her against my wishes. She had isolated me after a party and gotten me very drunk. I was trying to leave her apartment. When I opened Uber she took my phone, and when I went to leave she blocked the door. There was no getting out of there without a physical confrontation, and I was severely intoxicated miles from home in February. <br /><br />There are only two options for me there: stay (and deal with her advances in a way that doesn't enrage my host/captor even more), or fight her to the point where I can collect my things and go. Doing that probably lands me a felony charge - who's going to believe I did that out of self-defense?<br /><br />I don't think JP's talking about academic debate here. He's talking about something much darker, and it's happened to me. We had gone beyond the point where talking was going to solve anything, and she had the ability to make things violent without risking backlash. I felt completely helpless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-68813422898696926352018-01-31T19:06:04.981-08:002018-01-31T19:06:04.981-08:00Don't you have anything better to do than writ...Don't you have anything better to do than write blog posts that are probably longer than Peterson's book?
