Reahashing outdated ideas? Perhaps they are still relevant because they are still correct?
This is just anti-intellectualism - argue against what she is saying, don't resort to insulting her intelligence, it does your cause no favours.
I wasn't insulting her intelligence any more than some of the people on this thread have insulted Peterson's. In fact, in case you didn't notice, I was quoting them talking about Peterson, so actually your accusation of anti-intellectualism should be directed at them, not me.
Do you hear that FloralBunting? You are anti-intellectual. don't insult Peterson's intelligence please, it does your cause no favours. Saskia said so.
Here are some more comments on this thread that might also be considered anti-intellectual, so if the cap fits, please feel free to wear it.
Frankly we dont have to engage with [his views] because he is no different from any other man on the street and [his views] don't really have widespread acceptance outside whiny men's rights activism.
he isn't a lobbyist or a politican. His views are no more important than Bob down the pub
Being an academic does not make your opinion more important than anyone else's
He’s a charlatan peddling made up but real sounding rubbish.
I’ve not read Mystic Meg either this week mate. I don’t need to to know it’s probably not Plato.
Read some Cordelia Fine. The whole underpinning of what Peterson says about patriarchy being “natural” has already been blown to smithereens.
He's just your average mediocre white male
like I said, read Cordelia fine. His scientific platform, such as it was, has already been burnt down. He’s an airhead.
So...I think I see what's going on here.
Peterson, a professor of Clinical Psychology is a mediocre white man, a charlatan and an airhead with nothing of importance or relevance to say.
Cordelia Fine on the other hand, a professor of History and Philosophy, cannot possibly be anything other than a highly respected academic whose work is the last word on the matter, and to question that is to be anti-intellectual.
Right-ho. Got it.
