You could try to rehabilitate the other position I referenced..if you reckon that maybe he was just having one of those days where a person says inexplicably crazy shit?
You won't have any more success there, but you could try.
Would you like more.....after you're done taking swings at those two? How about one you already think you've done good work on?
(I say inexplicably..but I'm only joking..I actually did explain to you why he said what he said. Whether you can accept that for what it is is your own hangup.)
Yep, same as Tiz. You'll rant and shovel the metacommentary, but what you won't do is support your position with facts. That's because you didn't form them from or in response to facts.
Please bring some facts, and support your assertions. I'll even give you a list of fact-based discussion we could base a serious intellectual discussion on:
1) What exactly does the Canadian legislation for which Peterson became famous SAY? Is he right or wrong to oppose it? (We could link the statue and actually read it ourselves)
2) Why the fuck would he respond to a women's march in that way? What do the words mean, and what, exactly, is his beef with the woman he called out? (we could actually learn why they despise each other so much)
3) Why does he keep referring to women in his book as "chaos"? And why are there so many articles and interviews with academic women who seem so solidly interested in, and in support of, his ideas, if he's such a woman-hating pig? (we could see what those female academics SAY in their overt agreement with his stance, even his stance on women and men in society)
All of these might reveal him to be as you've portrayed him. But until you do the actual groundwork, I have to believe that you're just making shit up, i.e. projecting your own anxieties and insecurities as a liberal white man onto a bunch of out-of-context one-liners.
