Maybe his love for making Hitler seem less evil and incompetent than he was.

Or the millions of insane things he says like that its impossible for atheists to quit smoking.

-he became famous for spreading lies about a transgender protection bill. whether he was either lying or just being stupid makes no difference to me; they're both valid reasons to dislike someone in this context

-he has a bizarre cult of personality where he tells edgy teens and early 20-somethings to stand up straight and clean their rooms, and this somehow wins them over. that is... sketchy, to say the least

-he publicly spreads misinformation about socialism and postmodernism. again, I don't care if he's lying or if he legitimately believes what he says. he is spreading lies, and people are listening to him.

-he tried to challenge a zizek quotes bot on twitter to a debate

-his philosophy is based on characterization of chaos as "feminine" and order as "masculine" and he makes no attempt to elaborate on what he means by that

-his supporters often get the idea that he's apolitical, which is false and also dangerous

-during his time as a therapist, he responded to them with auto-reply emails, told them to send argumentative emails to his ideological opponents, got his wife to sort through their emails without asking his patients' consent, shared identifying info with other patients, and was just generally a shitty therapist

shall I go on?

cool. there are lots of reasons to not like someone. there are probably people who don't like him because his voice is annoying. I was listing some of the reasons why I don't like him. feel free to actually engage with what I'm saying at some point though

i found a video explaining his characterization of chaos on my first google search.

-his supporters often get the idea that he's apolitical, which is false and also dangerous

this isnt a criticism of jordan peterson.

Jordan Peterson's content is for broken men and/or men who grew up without a proper father figure. If neither of those things apply to OP, there's not much of a reason to be watching his content.

Edit: I'm not trying to insult anyone who feels they need this kind of help, but I don't like how fans of this content sometimes act like this is something that all men should be paying attention to when that isn't the case.

uhh its right in the summary. "This enactment amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.
The enactment also amends the Criminal Code to extend the protection against hate propaganda set out in that Act to any section of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression and to clearly set out that evidence that an offence was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on gender identity or expression constitutes an aggravating circumstance that a court must take into consideration when it imposes a sentence."

if you're gonna ask me to read their human rights act or criminal code then i'm not going to. a quick google search showed that apparently he COULD be subjected to fines, community service, etc. i don't know what would happen if he didn't comply at that point but it sounds like he'd be being forced under threat of some sort of punishment.
this is irrelevant to the point that I was making. please read it again if you wish to engage with the point.

Saying chaos = feminine and order = masculine is not saying women = chaotic and men = orderly or that women = bad and men = good. Unlike what some people in this topic are trying to imply.

The idea of dualism between femininity and masculinity, that there is good and bad to both femininity and masculinity, and that humans/the universe need and are both is found in many religions and philosophies.

Do realize that it's because of advancing technologies, women are able to financially contribute as much as men. Just a few hundred years back, women were relying on men to do jobs they physically weren't able to (this is still true today in certain fields, just nowhere near as numerous) and those were among the few jobs available to provide for the family.

There are differences between the gender, don't try to rank them but at least acknowledge their differences.

do you think this might have had something to do with society ostracizing women if they didn't conform to an arbitrary standard and act exactly as the men in power wanted them to?

Misgendering someone by refusing to use their pronouns is a thing. The crux of his argument isn't that it's wrong, just that it doesn't necessarily need to be legislated so broadly. At least that's what I remember last time I looked into him. He presented valid counterpoints, though I didn't end up agreeing with him.

No. I just think it's biological differences that give men the advantage. If the only jobs available were physical labor, men are going to have the leg up.

Though I say this, as you said, the power the leads have determine the dynamics of the culture. I hear when the first set of Europeans came to the New World, a good number of them, both young men and women, defected to Native American tribes due to power and authority being more balanced in their communities. For instance, women in the tribes had much more autonomy than in the early settlements and each person in the tribe had to contribute, which in turn gave them a stronger sense of purpose.

You seem to have an opinion on this already that you were alluding to so please, elaborate.

Yeah, I remember trying to make sense of this when it first came out. There is enough wiggle space in the verbiage for me to trust that a legal punishment could not ever be implemented. Plus, we are talking about Canada. They fined a comedian thousands for a standup bit that hurt a kid and his mothers feelings.

So the bill is including trans people in its hate crime laws?

So Peterson says that means he could be punished by law for not using the preferred pronoun of someone because it could be interpreted, reported, and tried as a hate crime, and he could be fined and since he would refuse to pay or do community service or whatever, he could be jailed? Therefore, he would be forced at all times by law to say what someone else wants, therefore the government is forcing him to use certain language he "finds detestable," which he never articulates iirc, therefore trampling on his and everyone else's free speech and threatening to come for him with government thugs which are in cahoots with the universities which are run by postmodern neomarxists in a grand conspiracy meant to force us to use nongendered pronouns and destroy our families?

I dunno, seems like a bit of a stretch.
