Yes, I know what a straw man argument is but I think you're under the impression this is a debate and it's not? I'm mocking the dude and you don't like it.

Jordan Peterson is a self-styled conservative intellectual and a Chatty Cathy who loves to get emotional and say outrageous things. Jordan Peterson misrepresents Jordan Peterson.

Me? I'm just calling him a clown and you passionately disagree. Like I wrote previously: simple. You connect with what he says and I don't, his self-help pablum and right-wing rants are contradictory and inflammatory and, honestly, occasionally bonkers. Is he compelling? Oh sure, yeah. Is "cleaning your room" mental helath 101 advice? Yup, it's great. Is he a nuanced thinker about gender? Not really? Is he a free speech hero? I suppose he is to people who become inconsolable with rage when someone requests they use a gender-neutral pronoun when talking to them.
