Not at all.
Go watch the full Cathy Newman interview.
Jordan Peterson debate on the gender pay gap, campus protests and postmodernism

In which he pleasantly, professionally eviscerates a 3rd wave feminist newsy. And she’s so clueless she doesn’t even understand what is happening.
His criticisms of the Postmodernists in our universities are spot on. He sees them as the heirs of the Communists, which they are, and who he hates, having read his Solzhenitsyn. And he has a huge following of Millenials and Gen Z men. This is a good thing.

FReepers should know who JP is, he is an ally.
I’m not sure what is going on with this tweet. It might be sarcasm. It might be a rare instance where he gets something wrong. Not sure. But he is an ally, and you should know who he is and explore his work.
I completely agree, and am shocked so many here don’t know who he is. Even despite this gaffe, he is a huge ally in the Culture Wars.
What Peterson initially said, was: “that opposition to Kavanaugh is a sign of political correctness corrupting law schools and that this corruption is already “devastating in Canada”
Hus response to Weinstein was ok, so step down and clear his name completely-he is Canadian,doesnt understand the nature of Supreme Court appts and ever so polite-Dem lefties wouldn’t allow it a
Fact: Peterson only eats meat.
Overheard in a leftest Vegan Bar: “Yay Dr. P....” “He what?!?”
Dr. Peterson grieves, he suffers from depression, being a strict carnivore helps. What Dr. Peterson will discover over time is that depression and grief is a result of self-centeredness.
Who...?? Never Heard of it....
Let’s wait and see if it’s verified that he really made that statement.
There are so many things wrong with that advice, I don’t know where to begin.
This atypical of Dr. Peterson. He normally does a phenomenal job of backing up his assertions with well thought argument.
If he really did make that statement, then I disagree.
Go big K!
He also knows that it is better to keep your mouth shut if you aren't an expert on a subject and don't have a deep understanding of it. He just slipped up this time.
His good friend Mark Steyn (and others) will enlighten him on the stupidity of this tweet.
Why? Utterly ridiculous.
He has 48 hours to clarify. Hope this was a minor lapse in judgment.
Why 48 hours?
I think he’s looking at it in broader terms of how it’s affecting our country. The left is already talking of impeaching Kavanaugh so this is far from over for them.
Peterson’s thinking it would diffuse things but we all know it would only be temporary. If not Kavanaugh, then someone or something else would be the “issue” and keep in mind, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
I think you may be right
Peterson would not think it would diffuse things. He is all about boundaries and standing tall and doing difficult things.
who is Jordan Peterson?
I’ve watched most of his videos. I’ll need proof it’s really him. And if it is, I’ll need an explanation of what was meant. Right now I’ll believe this is a Peterson tweet as much as I believe Kavanaugh molested Ford.
This thread seriously disappoints me. I’m talking about a lot of the comments.
For a single, one line tweet to cause so many to condemn one man so quickly is astonishing. If we knew him to be a leftist, I would understand. But we don’t. He’s no Maxine Waters.
My wife and I are as close as a married couple could be - for over 20 years now. And I know her mind like no other person on the planet. If she said what Jordan is alleged to have tweeted, I would not start calling her names. Rather, I’d want to know where she is going with it.
I highly respect Peterson’s opinion on subjects like this. If he actually said this the reasoning falls into two categories, both of which make the tweet itself a troll.
1. He’s being sarcastic.
2. He’s got a solid reason that I may agree with or disagree with, but I have not thought of. And who knows? When he finally gives his logic I just might agree with him, but it would have to be pretty convincing.
But in BOTH cases, the tweet is a “tease”. And that is assuming it is genuine at all.
Ditto.
And all the “leftist style” hair triggers around here sadden me.
