Comments by "TheDionysianFields" (@TheDionysianFields) on "Jordan Peterson debate on the gender pay gap, campus protests and postmodernism" video.
@Heath Sims It's true. She either has a problem with basic logic or she's intellectually dishonest to an extreme. Either way, JP's way too smart for her and this is the saddest debate ever.

Wow, I spoke too soon. JP totally gaffed at 19:30 and she had him but let him weasel out. A rare moment for JP to stick his foot in his mouth, especially when he could have easily won the point without naming gender-neutral traits. Shocking.

You can argue that he was only pointing out the disadvantage-trait of women and not contrasting it with the advantage-traits of men, but it's just as easy to conclude that he was saying men are smarter than women.

I watched it for the first time the other day, shortly after I found out who Jordan Peterson is. I think this is him at his worst.

@Heath Sims No, he was making a contrasting comparison and didn't choose his words as carefully as usual. The primary characteristic for success is definitively male (i.e. aggressiveness) and it always has been. Why he listed those others is beyond me but it was a mistake. JP has too many "fall back" words and ideas. He's not quite as nimble with his debate as I originally thought. Anyway, I'm not saying he really believes men are smarter but I'm left to wonder whether it was an honest error or some Freudian, subconscious thing.

This is like the battle between pure emotion and pure reason. And it's no contest.
