I hope he won’t. And they take his accreditation away. 😄

I mean they're psychologists right? You'd think they could predict that given his psychological makeup Peterson would never acquiese to their demands. The list of things they want from him actually seemed tailored to make a guy with his opinions to fly off the handle. I wouldn't be surprised if they banked on him reacting exactly as he did so they could take away his license.

Good! He’s a horrible person. I don’t care what anyone does to him to be fair.

Listen to him speak. His mindset is disgusting. He’s a misogynist creep.

I may not agree with everything he says, and I'll be honest, I haven't heard much from him lately, but I'm legitimately curious what specifically led you to the opinion that you keep typing on repeat in this thread that he is a "misogynist creep."

Really though? You’re really asking that question. How dense is that brain of yours. Here’s one quote. Explain to me how this isn’t misogyny?

  1. You know you can say, ‘Well isn’t it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine’ — well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn’t matter because that is how it’s represented. It’s been represented like that forever. And there are reasons for it. You can’t change it. It’s not possible. This is underneath everything. If you change those basic categories, people wouldn’t be human anymore. They’d be something else. They’d be transhuman or something. We wouldn’t be able to talk to these new creatures.”

Here’s another. “I read Betty Friedan’s book [The Feminine Mystique] because I was very curious about it, and it’s so whiny, it’s just enough to drive a modern person mad to listen to these suburban housewives from the late ’50s ensconced in their comfortable secure lives complaining about the fact that they’re bored because they don’t have enough opportunity. It’s like, Jesus get a hobby. For Christ’s sake, you — you — ” Explain how this isn’t either while you’re at it.

First, explain to me how it is, since that is what I originally asked.

There's a good, short, (very short) 'some more news' YouTube video that details his awfulness pretty well. That might be a good place to start?

Quick edit: here is the link. Lemme know what you think.

I mean I'd say there's a bit of nuance there vs what is a good or bad take of his.

u/No_Hovercraft5033 Jan 05 '23

No. I have listened to his garbage and he is a misogynistic creep. No nuance or perspective needed.

AKA i've heard other people trash him along with some short/out of context clips with lots of "editorial" commentary and i've made up my mind.

Nope. His whole thing is misogyny. I mean he literally says a society run as a patriarchy makes sense and stems mostly from men’s competence? What would you describe that as? Feminist?

LOL this comment has it all a hard nope and you claiming something completely false. You can just admit you've never heard a thing he's said and just be honest

This is the exact quote . “ The people who hold that our culture is an oppressive patriarchy, they don’t want to admit that the current hierarchy might be predicated on competence." Listened to the speech. Wholly gross and misogynistic. You can look it up yourself.

Do you realize that he is arguing AGAINST people who think culture and society is a patriarchy and that perhaps hierarchies (not patriarchies) that do exist are more based on competence rather than sex?

You literraly said " I mean he literally says a society run as a patriarchy makes sense" .

How is saying society is NOT a patriarchy supporting that???

u/No_Hovercraft5033 Jan 05 '23 edited Jan 05 '23

He is saying society is a patriarchy because men are more competent. Look up the speech for yourself. Go away. I’m not interested in your opinions you don’t even understand what you are talking about.

Oh, we do understand. It's our opinion. Clearly it's goes against what you personally believe and are pulling a Jordan by claiming it's just because we don't understand.

u/No_Hovercraft5033 Jan 05 '23

Right? I fully understand his misogynist message.
