You know, this explains so much of the nonsense that The Narrative(TM) pushes out on a regular basis -- "campus r*pe culture", utterly absurd assault statistics, and the like. Naomi Wolf had a bad experience, and she's generalizing it to parts of the country it just simply doesn't apply. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for helping us find the explanation for otherwise baffling public discussions.

She certainly needs therapy from the way she's been mistreated. Would that she'd gotten it before pushing insanity into The Narrative(TM) that the Left keeps chanting.

@LarsTragel-zh7ei What makes you say that, other than tribal affiliation?

Peterson is truly trying to understand her. Considering how much of the absolute nonsense that The Narrative(TM) spews out seems to find its source in this woman, he's doing a public service.

Naomi Wolf getting sidetracked from her career explaining Ruskin to undergraduates into politics, might even be as important an event in Western history as a certain Austrian watercolorist getting sidetracked from his art career into politics. No joke. The degree to which Wolf seems to be the genesis of much of the toxic lies that form The Narrative(TM), is shocking.

I'll bet that within five years her husband dumps her for a younger woman.

This from the woman who practically invented the college kangaroo courts for men accused of assault? She's got a lot to live down, before she can be hailed as a hero.

@l.w.paradis2108 Reviewing evidence is always eye-opening.

Yeah, she's one of the most privileged human beings ever to walk the Earth.

@l.w.paradis2108 Did we ever get Bloom's side of the story?

@poocrayon4588 Yeah, I'm reminded of the video clip where there is a clearly insane person (with maybe a sprained ankle?) who's whining to police they just got murdered.

"My [younger] husband [who likes the fact that I am materially wealthy and can provide him with that wealth] wants to be a provider for me" This is logically incoherent.

Of course. Her lies are winning.

@franklyandrewjames He let her lie, exaggerate, slander others, and otherwise go without challenge. It's very useful to get more information out of her. I hope he can get her to map out her accomplices.

@henrikljungstrand2036 In Islam, the individual must submit and obey. No wonder their governments are all tyrannies.

@keithray9421 Well, there was that school board in Loudoun County, Virginia, that covered up the girls being r*ped by that trans student they let into the girls' locker room.

Sure, it has turned out that the fear of AIDS infection isn't all that realistic for straight non-drug users. However, the realities of AIDS infection certainly makes discouragement of homosexual male contact, a matter of common sense and good health.

@faithe54 About 20% of the American population (including men) identify as feminists. The brand isn't doing well, these days.

This discussion of the varying attractiveness of mate qualities (being challenging, being dependable, being doll-like, being a bounder) works itself out in Thackeray's "Vanity Fair". The point being, of course, that all are roundly (if sometimes affectionately) mocked for those qualities.

"These unachievable beauty standards in the 1840s and 1850s, with corsets where women couldn't breathe" They were no more reasonable for men, in most parts of the world right down to the corsets -- the ideal Southern gentleman in America had to have an extremely thin waist as well, and they used corsets to achieve it.

Jordan did a good job exposing Wolf for the utterly toxic woman she is. It would have been nice if he'd done this a few years ago, so he could have gotten Bloom's side of the story.

@l.w.paradis2108 What made me think not? All of Wolf's wildly exaggerated claims about college, as well as her completely fictional picture of how men and women relate to one another. That was easy. Ask me a tough one.
1
@l.w.paradis2108 I listened to the video, which is why I'm questioning her credibility. It's not that she likes men less (though seemingly she likes lesser men), she loves power more.
1
@l.w.paradis2108 When she spoke about her husband, she spoke of him as less than herself. Didn't you notice?
1
@l.w.paradis2108 Yes, she was consistently talking about her husband in a condescending way. That really doesn't register with you, does it. Well, it's consistent with Wolf being a narcissistic sociopath. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if her story about Bloom was pure slander.
1
@l.w.paradis2108 Peterson asked her a series of questions that drew out her point of view, allowing some of her most absurd assertions to go unchallenged. He wants to know what makes her tick. I don't think he's fooled for an instant, he's just playing out the line, giving her all the rope she needs.
1
@l.w.paradis2108 You wouldn't know it to hear her talk about him,. She spoke as if she viewed him as more of a son than a husband. As if he was less (than she), and had a long way to go. So yeah, narcissistic, just what you'd expect from someone whose conversation involves paranoid delusions about thinking she'd be killed by an elderly college professor, just to make sure she was getting a properly shocked response out of her listeners. After all, it's that shocked response that gives her the undeserved political power (based on lies) she's been smugly wielding all her adult life, to the destruction of men and society. From his career as a therapist, I don't think very much shocks Peterson anymore, aside from perhaps how far our society (especially the Left) has fallen thanks in large part to activists like Wolf. I think he's going to get more honesty out of her, taking the empathic route. This isn't the time to push back against the lies her life has been built on, but he can probably get enough context for them that he can start pulling on some of the threads that can eventually unravel them. If "all she ever wanted was to teach Ruskin, but she couldn't get away from Bloom" then she could have taught Ruskin at any state or community college west of the Rockies (or probably anywhere more than a day's drive from New York). One of the least credible lies here in a sea of incredible lies, is the idea that her life hasn't gone the way she's wanted it to -- and the fact that she's lying about that, is the most revealing of all.

@SaintTrinianz Anyone who is more concerned with what didn't happen than with what did happen to get the compassion she thinks she deserved, is to some degree paranoid.
