The trouble with this...and with peterson...is that even if this is what we are or were..it has no bearing on what we should be.  Maybe what we should be is an unattainable goal...but...."don't assault and/or harass your coworkers" seems to set the bar low.  I think we can manage, no matter how sexy her red lipstick is.  I've never had a problem in that regard.  Have you?  I'm guessing no.

This...those are the nice ones.  The good girls.  Woe betide the man who comes across a real ball buster.  It was awhile back..but min once defined a misogynist as a man who hates women as much as other women hate women.  Seems legit.  I reserve a special category for people who go above and beyond that.  I call them loons.  Balls to the wall..and only to the wall..loons.  Peterson is among them, his views appeal to them.  His views appeal to other people too..granted, but they're still the same views.

-but what would I know.  I'm a crypto marxist sjw.

Eh. . . it's a step up from "Fucking Nazi," "whuddryoulookingatfaggit," "witch," or "Republican."

I'm not sure how much of this Peterson would disagree with. He doesn't seem to be on a rampage against lipstick. He's mainly focused on the fact that we've evolved to behave certain ways, some of them sexual, and ignoring that reality in favor of identity politics (a term he uses a lot) doesn't actually improve anything.
