Jordan Peterson is a stand up guy for men's rights.

I have to somewhat disagree with the idea that Peterson is great for men's rights. He begins this interview by talking about how men need to "grow up" aka "man up" aka "abide by society's traditional demands" and then justifies this in terms of how good it will be for women to have strong partners. This is gynocentrism. Peterson, frankly, is trying to be a "strike-breaker".... if Dr. Helen Smith's Men On Strike is correct - that the reason men aren't "manning up" and getting married and focusing career etc. as much as they used to is because of rational self-interested responses to society's incentive structures - then Peterson is not altering those incentive structures but trying to add more pressure for men to engage in self-immolation for society's sake.

I also think his obsession with Jung, Hero's Journey myths and Christianity-as-a-positive-metanarrative-construct-to-give-lives-meaning is highly contestable to say the least.

But I still thought he conducted himself fantastically in this debate and absolutely wiped the floor with Cathy Newman.
