Checkmate, libtards.I'm gonna call you out here. I don't think you've read the book, and you will say, "I don't even have to. . . "
Petersons view, more than a little bit contradictory since he doesn't think it's a real thing, is that it's natural and it works and it benefits Teh Ladiez. So stop complaining and bootstrap yourself! The world is too feminized nowadays, donchaknow?
If so, consider possibly fucking off, or referencing something IN the book, please.

I'm not super familiar with him really, other than his name seems to be in the zeitgeist, so to speak, but I don't think there are enough if them to make a book a best seller or make someone so popular.
I also don't think there is anything wrong with being anti-PC unless you are also a racist. Political correctness is just another way of trying to censor people.
That's right. And here's one of the ways they do it-- this thread is about to be 80 pages of shit, and I'll bet $150 (exactly, and to be donated to charity!) that some of the noisiest birds here haven't actually read the whole book. But they'll fill line after line with BS that they "know" is true without ever considering the actual facts of what was ever said.
Right, Khem?

Wouldn’t say triggered, as it’s not a vitriolic response on my part. I also don’t claim there aren’t feminine/masculine traits. Though I’d argue about their relevance and subjectivity in modern times.
What caused my reaction is his religiously couched traditionalist views that he’s marketing to the anti-pc/incel crowd.
On your first look, not knowing anything about him, it seems like it’s not a big deal for him to be making these references in a self help book. An odd choice in my opinion but not a big deal.
On a second look, after seeing what he’s about, I find it’s a bit more nefarious than that. I don’t think it’s accurate to say “Oh, he’s just making a common, if not antiquated, reference to illustrate a point.”. There’s a rhyme and a reason to it when you place it in line with his views on other subjects.
What, in the book, in particular, did you find objectionable? What words, actually, did he write, which you cannot tolerate, in this text which we are supposedly here to discuss?

I find myself too expressive and rebellious to subscribe 100% to that type of thinking. However, YOU seem to be the one assuming he is writing something other than what he is saying.
Well, that's kind of the point of all this, and why Peterson in general is so popular, and so important. Nitwits see even a hint of something that could stand against the narrative of demographic victimization or oppression at the hands of white male cisgender capitalist pig-dogs, and start shouting bloody murder. No matter that Peterson didn't say any of the things they claim, or even imply them, they are so sure that the 10 keywords they've bothered to scan say the 80 pages of shit they're going to shovel that they don't even need to READ. . . THE. . . BOOK.
