Yea people tend to take Peterson's ideas a step further than he's actually taking himself.
Male energy is order feminine energy is chaos
People, in a very self-serving way then jump ten steps ahead with ideas like, "See he's saying men are good and women are bad! Misogynist!" Not at all what he's saying. I feel like this guy could say the sky is blue and people would say, No it's a light shade of indigo! We can almost ALWAYS find something wrong in what someone says if we look hard enough.
I'm disappointed to hear a lot of you haven't read the book.
edit:
Ironically enough, these assumptions often say much more about the speaker than they do about the person being critiqued. If I say, "I don't enjoy black comedies" and you immediately say, "Racist!" It can sometimes be the case that YOU are actually the racist in assuming what it was that I was talking about. Maybe I was talk about a black comedy in the sense of genres of comedy. Or maybe I just don't happen to enjoy any comedies that feature mainly african-american cast members. Sometimes people's assumptions can be very telling.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
