I would take him more seriously as a critic of the excesses of "PC" ideology if he weren't a believer in IQ based neo-racism and if he weren't an actual misogynist.
That doesn't mean I have no problems with the APA document in question. It does indeed read like ideological buzzword salad and I do get the impression that it is minimizing legitimate traditional masculine virtues. It deserves a better critic than Jordan Peterson and having him fill that role only reinforces this whole meta narrative.
My own opinion on all this is that everyone has gone completely insane.
The right has gone insane. The ideology of The Turner Diaries is now mainstream. The left has gone insane, parroting ideological duckspeak and utterly incapable of genuinely discussing or defending their ideas. I get the sense that neither side even cares about ideas, just "memes" and winning.
Since both sides are now insane, deplatforming and brigading are the only form of debate. Deplatforming is normally associated with the left but the right wing echo chambers will all ban you in five minutes if you question the party line. Brigading likewise is practiced by both sides.
Yes folks, I am saying the awful "both sides" thing. I really do think everyone has gone mad.
What is it? Are rising CO2 levels impacting our cognition? Is there something in the water?
Or is this medium just flawed? Have we turned the Internet into an anti-intellectual memetic laser that is slowly lobotomizing us to get people to click ads?
The goal of eliminating the differences between the genders is straight out of Karl Marx's playbook. It defies biology and reason. If the state can mold all of us into uniform, unthinking blobs, we can be more easily controlled. Both genders and their differences are necessary for a healthy society composed of free and thinking people.
