So you're saying men brutalizing women is hilarious?

So you're saying men should have the right to have sex with any women they can violently overpower?

So you're saying women are property that we can have sex with without their consent and sell and trade to other men, and that this is hilarious to you?

Much like Newman you give your side a horrible name by doing no research on the subject and then making zero-substance sh*tposts that insult humanity's millennia-long study of logical reasoning.

Would you like me to make your case for you? Because I could do it much better.

The Ellimist
Does someone have a counter to the simple argument that differences in outcomes only prove differences in opportunity if you assume zero relevant biological differences between men and women, and that this is patently absurd? I'm honestly curious because Cathy didn't provide any but there are some smart people on these boards so I'd like to hear from them.

Surtur
What I was fascinated by was the pity party they attempted to throw afterwards. Network said they needed to hire security because of "threats" against her.

The threats they listed were: people called her a b*tch, people called her an idiot, and people insulted her looks. None of those things are threats. Obviously they are not all the comments she received, but if you're going to go with the narrative people are threatening her, why didn't their examples include any?

But...she is an idiot.

Clearly someone isn't familiar with the content of his work, or the responses he gets from people, because one of the main themes of his work is to not be a lonely angry ball of self-pity for the rest of your life, and based on the overwhelming responses he's gotten of people saying his work helped them overcome that, I'd say "this clown's dogshit" has the exact opposite of the effect Bashar would predict.

Cathy strikes me as someone who has never read or studied a serious argument against her beliefs before. Not that I have anything against her personally because at least she hosted him.

I'm still waiting for anyone who disagrees with Jordan to actually post something he said they have a problem with. Or is this just standard SJW nonsense where you don't like him cuz he makes fools of leftist cucks?

It's the same reason, deep down, that some on the left hate Ben Shapiro. They can't out debate him, they know it, he knows it. So they call him a nazi.

Peterson makes Cathy, and others, look like damn fools. So of course now he's being portrayed by The Guardian as a dangerous man who isn't fully alt right, but who is flirting with it.

Remember the college where one of the people told a student that playing a clip of Peterson and being neutral is like neutrally showing a Hitler speech? Yeah, that's the level of idiocy we're dealing with.

Peterson handled this interview well, but I still find his equivocation of Mao with trans-activists to be ridiculous.

They're literally pissed that people get paid differently for two different jobs and are trying to sue over it lol I heard about that too. Stupid. Being a warehouse worker is obviously tougher than being an attendant, and I'd imagine that male attendants are also paid less than warehouse workers for that very reason. Unless the women can link the disparity in wages directly to gender, I don't see their case going very far.

Surtur
Peterson isn't perfect this is true. Just nowhere near as delusional as his opponents.

And I honestly forget the context of the Mao thing, what was it he said?

Because a trans-activist asking to be referred to by certain pronouns (and thus choose how they are defined), in no way puts them in the same ideological quadrant as Mao. It's an absurd exaggeration. And simply using different pronouns for a tiny slice of the population won't set us on the path of a Marxist police state seizing the means of production and agriculture.

Originally posted by Stigma

The primary goal of trans-activists is to obtain equal rights and opportunities for trans-people and encourage the adoption of gender-neutral pronouns. Neither of those goals are inherently Marxist in nature. And although some trans-activists may be Marxists, that isn't justification for tarring all/most trans-activists with that label and lumping them in with Mao.

I am aware of what you're saying, but it does not negate his point (at least not entirely).

One may venture what percentage of those activists are adherents of Marxism (I'd guesstimate that a vast majority, if not virtually all of them, but it's just my hunch.)

TLDR: They share Marxism, a totalitarian ideology.

Not "encourage," and not "obtain equal rights," in the case Peterson is referring to, they want the government to enforce the law that when speaking to a trans person, you state their pronoun of choice, or face legal and violent repercussions.

Suggesting that someone face criminal charges for not saying the specific words another person dictates to them is pure insanity, as I'm sure you can agree. It's against free speech and is tantamount to thought-policing.

I was agreeing with lazybones but I see your point, Stigma.


Dictating how others should speak is usually a bad idea. It should not be done from a governmental standpoint.

Hilarious, I love seeing people get triggered by him. Kinda like this article from The Guardian:

How dangerous is Jordan B Peterson, the rightwing professor who 'hit a hornets' nest'?

How dangerous is he? The answer is: he's not dangerous at all.

The most hilarious part is them labeling him right wing.

-Pr-
He's not dangerous at all. He doesn't advocate for violence or harassment, and has publicly spoken out against it. He is quite vehement about his stances, such as his belief that equality of opportunity is a far better way to go than equality of outcome, and what he says about freedom of speech and how the government shouldn't be allowed to tell people what they can and can't say.

He made a show of Newman, though. It was crazy to the point where she actually started to agree with him and see his point.

And to those who didn't watch that "MIC vs Jordan Peterson" video, let me tell you about one thing from it to show you the kind of people on these leftist sites.

I see what is going on, and this is typical leftist behavior, though not only done by them. So the guy whines about Jordan. Knows his argument is on shaky ground, and thinks he somehow negates any arguments against him by noting what he thinks those arguments will be or what they have been. As if the fact he got it right negates the argument. He doesn't actually respond to all of the arguments he says people will make.

Why don't you summarize to me what YOU feel he is saying. Because shit like "Sexual harassment in the work place is bad, but I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon" doesn't seem like it should be controversial. So what part of this irks you?

Wow, you are really trying hard to dodge and deflect here. What I feel is that the fact you ommitted the central points of what he said in that clip reveals that you find addressing it uncomfortable. hmm

I had no issues with anything he said. I'm asking what you're whining over, what set you off?

Is it his asking why women wear makeup to work? That what you're whining over? What is it that you have an issue with, explain yourself.

option two is my favourite, it's always very revealing laughing out loud

but no, people wear make up for the same reason anyone does anything to improve their appearance, to look presentable and feel good about themselves. I understand that certain people who don't understand those concepts might feel differently, but there it is.

Beniboybling
i'd say you're hiding behind his skirt, but peterson would never wear something so provactive. sad

Surtur
There isn't any need to hide. Your two sentences actually didn't shut his arguments down.

Cathy the retard would hear what he said and go "So you're saying all women who wear makeup at work want to have sex with their co workers?"

Beniboybling
okay surt. now do you have an actual response, or just more appeals to jordie's vast intellect?

Surtur
A response to what lol. You still haven't told me what your issue is. Is it the makeup comments? What is your issue with what he said?

Beniboybling

Surtur
If you care to actually say what he said you take issue with, I'll be more than glad to respond. I mean, your original clip was less than 2 minutes long. Surely it's not that difficult for you to discuss what irked you.

Stop playing this stupid game. People are not mind readers, just say what you have to say so it can be discuss properly.

|King Joker|

Beniboybling
thumb up

Women can and should be able to wear makeup for their own reasons, and any person who gives them unwanted sexual attention is 100% responsible for their own actions. It is on them.

Let's also acknowledge that even without makeup women are capable of being attractive and therefore sexually provocative. And what about t*ts and bums? Even somewhat form fitting clothing can make these more noticeable and therefore, provocative, as can anything that can be construed as making women look pretty.

The logical conclusion of Jordan's line of thinking is therefore obvious, all women should wear burqas. sad

|King Joker|
all praise Ayatollah Peterson

Surtur
Well I will admit that I do not know as much about makeup as you guys, I will defer to your greater knowledge on that.

It would seem Peterson still have some things to learn, like everybody else.

Emperordmb
Well it depends on what he means by "women who don't want to be sexually harassed" because it's possible he could be referring to the modern definition of sexual harassment where HR forbids hugging (as was mentioned in the video), where some women consider any compliments to their appearance sexual harassment, or flirting sexual harassment, or being asked out sexual harassment.

Because in the exact same clip he both said that it would be desirable if there were no sexual harassment in the work place and that he specifically clarified that he wasn't saying women shouldn't wear make-up or that there shouldn't be any sexual displays in the workplace, both of which seem antithetical to what his later statement in the video is being interpreted as. And the idea that he's saying women shouldn't wear make up or make sexual displays in the workplace is contradicted both by his clarification that he wasn't asserting that make-up rule as his actual opinion, and that he found the no hugging rule absurd.

If he was referring in his last statement to women who hold the stance on sexual harassment that any comments on their appearance, any flirtation, being asked out, etc. sexual harassment, then the overall point he's making in the video is internally consistent: What he views as sexual harassment shouldn't be in the workplace and rules like no hugging are absurd, but it's hypocritical to draw attention to your appearance or make a sexual display in the workplace while having some puritanical expectations of men's interactions with you ie. no flirtation, no compliments on one's appearance, the no hugging rule from HR.

That would be more consistent than his overall work, and it would be the same position held by other people who have expressed similar displeasure with the modern sex culture, such as criticism of feminists who simultaneously hold the positions that women should be able to flaunt their sexuality however much they want, but then define any flirtatious romantic or sexual encounter that makes them uncomfortable as sexual harassment (flirtation, asking a woman at a bar if you can buy them a drink, telling a woman they look good, etc.)

He could've misworded what would otherwise be a very astute point that is consistent with what he said in the interview, consistent with his other work and statements, and consistent with what other people have said who agree that the modern sex culture and third feminists expectations of how men/women interactions should be are cancer, or he could be saying something at the end that completely contradicts everything else he said in the interview and contradicts a lot of other things he's said about male impulse control. If it's the former, I agree 100%, if it's the latter, then I condemn the statement and disagree with it. I'd like to see some clarification on this before jumping to an absolute conclusion.

That being said, even taken at the worst possibility, which is what is being presented by Joker and our resident soyboy Benjamina, it would be a bad statement but not one that discredits the merits of any of the many good points and impacts he's made throughout his vast body of work, ie. the individualist messages, the criticism of modern progressivism, the free speech activism, the countless citations his work has received within his field, the countless people he's pulled away from the alt-right or helped become more responsible people in their day to day lives.

And also, assuming the worst of the two interpretations, let's not conflate sexual harassment with sexual assault and suggest that he's "victim blaming" women who are groped or molested or raped or whatever.

same logic could be applied to body building. i'm not equating that with strength training and practical stuff like that, but rather targeting biceps/pecs/abs/etc, in order to look more attractively proportioned. mind you, i take no issue with the practice and it's really a cross-gender thing at this point anyway. however it is worth pointing out that these folks are putting lots of hours and energy into altering themselves, in order to look more attractive.

Yes because there is some utility beyond physical appearance to make-up and high heals.

I'm sure people use make-up and high heels with the intent of protecting their skin from the sun and getting things high up on shelves.

Interesting. Why do you think it is women wearing makeup on a vastly higher scale than men?

I'd also argue the amount of men who put hours and hours into body building isn't really proportional to the amount of women who wear some sort of makeup.

Well it depends on what he means by "women who don't want to be sexually harassed" because it's possible he could be referring to the modern definition of sexual harassment where HR forbids hugging (as was mentioned in the video), where some women consider any compliments to their appearance sexual harassment, or flirting sexual harassment, or being asked out sexual harassment.

Because in the exact same clip he both said that it would be desirable if there were no sexual harassment in the work place and that he specifically clarified that he wasn't saying women shouldn't wear make-up or that there shouldn't be any sexual displays in the workplace, both of which seem antithetical to what his later statement in the video is being interpreted as. And the idea that he's saying women shouldn't wear make up or make sexual displays in the workplace is contradicted both by his clarification that he wasn't asserting that make-up rule as his actual opinion, and that he found the no hugging rule absurd.

If he was referring in his last statement to women who hold the stance on sexual harassment that any comments on their appearance, any flirtation, being asked out, etc. sexual harassment, then the overall point he's making in the video is internally consistent: What he views as sexual harassment shouldn't be in the workplace and rules like no hugging are absurd, but it's hypocritical to draw attention to your appearance or make a sexual display in the workplace while having some puritanical expectations of men's interactions with you ie. no flirtation, no compliments on one's appearance, the no hugging rule from HR.

Bingo. If anyone thought it somehow negated any of the many good points Peterson has made...they are hilariously wrong.

Do you think every behavioral difference has to be because of societal norms because you seriously think the Science supports that, or because you think it is more ideologically convenient?

I mean this is just hilarious.

Almost every single time - minus 2 specific examples - she reframed his statements with either a strawman or something not even close to what he said.

At about 15 minutes in, I wish he would have said, "How about stop trying to reword what I said and just stick to my actual words? You're most certainly never getting right."

I just noticed this post...


It seems like you're projecting. A lot.


And I read the subsequent arguments against you and your position, as well: you refused to be specific at all about what you're referring, too, here. You quite obviously don't want to take a position because he didn't misspeak and the points he made that were backed by actual research are rather ubiquitous at this point (at least in socio-political academia).


Instead of being a coward and dodging people asking you to clarify your vitriolic and inflammatory post, perhaps you could actually clarify which of his points were sweeping generalizations and not fact? It should not be very difficult or time consuming at all to pick just one and cite a credible study if his points are so obviously rubbish to you.

I'm honestly curious because Cathy didn't provide any but there are some smart people on these boards so I'd like to hear from them.

No, it is just not the case when the population is viewed as a whole.

There are clearly specific examples but they are rather rare. One such example ended up becoming law in 2009 and it is called Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 specifically for a gender-pay issue she experienced at work (this law allows people like her to bring up equal pay lawsuits more readily...sounds simple but it's not. Just look it up if you're interested...you might enjoy it).

But the situation she (Kathy) tried to imply really does not exist for the extreme majority of the population in most Western Countries.



Research has been done on poorer countries and outcomes DO exist that directly relate to gender. When you have the option to get an education in Nursing instead of having to walk 50km to get clean, drinkable water (potable) for your family, then you can understand why there are significant differences in poorer countries compared to their Western counterparts.

I watched a segment about him on Vice news. He randomly brought up the make up thing in the segment during the interview they were doing with him and it was as stupid as was hinted at here in this thread. It was straight up juvenile and was some r/iamverysmart material. Some people are saying they think the interview was edited to make his point weaker, but the statement on its face is so laughable that it's hard to imagine a strong argument in favor of it.

The interviewer does mention and ask him about how he walks people who are on the fence of the far right back, which if true, good on him.

Surtur
The Vice piece on him was mostly horseshit. And why won't they release the full interview?

Also lol@ the video getting 6k upvotes and twenty five thousand downvotes. Will Vice take the hint?

Best thing about Jordan is the people who despise him are the ones who created him. SJW's did this. Their hysteria did this. They made him rich and famous, lmao!!

Well....I've come to discover that Vice is extremely liberal. While some things are quite interesting that they put out, I approach their content with caution especially when it is directly or indirectly related to political or socio-political topics.

While this video is very good about breaking down the Vice interview...



No one (for the most part) is going to watch it that needs to watch it. And only those (for the most part) who already believed the Vice interview was not genuine or honest, are going to watch this.

True, but surely the people here who are against JP can spare 12 minutes to watch it. Especially those who foolishly used this interview to go after him.
