Can't come up with this shit. Literally "I don't want to hear opinions I won't agree with". Yet I'd bet they think their opinion should be heard, considered and agreed with by everyone around

I'd like to point out OP's question in the first place:

"I personally get weird feelings from him..."

So ? you have "feelings" and you don't know what they are, there just "weird", so obviously such weirdness must be bad right ? Always women with the "i get creepy vibes from him" accusations and defence. What are you 12 ?

"He doesn't SEEM to be explicitly anti-woman....."

Again, nothing objective, just your subjective perception again. You're DYING to prove your point with any data, but you have none, so you are left with your "feelings", as if it's enough to support your fears.

"... but in some of the statements that he has made about women, he portrays them as the perpetrators."

ok ?

Did he have data to back up those statements, was he referring to his own experience in the field as a VERY professionally qualified professor of psychiatry and political science?

... or you just don't care for it because a man said something you don't like ?

"He also targets a male audience..."

So? Feminist target female audiences, what's your point ? You dislike men having content targeted at them now ?

".. which SEEM to have questionable beliefs."

Jesus fucking christ do you have ANY substances to your thoughts or are they all "weird feelings" and made-up hallucinations about what's going on ?

You really are a child.

They are totalitarian monsters. The kind of antihuman trash that should have died out 70 years ago, but somehow still cling to some kind of digital existence. They don't deserve to be be treated with respect, consideration or anything at all positive.

TrilIias · 2022-04-13T17:45:45+00:00

Yesterday I got banned from r/conservative because I said in response to a post about Trump saying we need to "end the war on women":

This is why I so often can't stand conservatives. Most of y'all are just as gynocentric as feminists. In fact, isn't Ivanka a total feminist? I voted for Trump twice with no regrets, but if "war on women" is Trump's rallying cry then he will not get my vote. He better hope he doesn't need it.

I've been commenting on r/conservative for a long time and I had "conservative" as my flair.

So many people can't stand to have their ideology or party criticized, even by fellow members of their party/ideology. Let's hope r/MensRights never stoops so low.

HenryCGk · 2022-04-13T15:08:23+00:00

It seems a feminist view point is one with no introspection. (At least according to Kali, I'm not sure how much I agree)

Peterson is a typical female worshipping tradcon promoting male enslavement for "the greater good".

It's sad that so many MRAs think he's on their side.

He also sees children as the property of their parents and is OK with MGM.

NarutoBoy87 · 2022-04-13T14:28:10+00:00

JBP has clarity of thought, backs up his claim with simple facts. Doesnt resort to yelling.

For me, he makes absolute sense.. If you dont like him thats fine but trying to name call him coz you are not able to understand what he is saying that sucks..

Bland-fantasie · 2022-04-13T15:49:17+00:00

Never tell an ideologically-captured zealot that they have harmed you to any extent. This is the payoff they are going for. Zealots like this live to hurt others with no risk of retaliation.

Lots of people long to hurt others with no chance of retaliation. I think it’s the central motivation of ideological zealots.

Personally I find him unbiased. He is neither for men or women. Yes he is against Feminism as it is a pervasive destructive force in regards to solid relationships between men and women.

6ames · 2022-04-13T17:12:44+00:00

He sometimes portrays them as the perpetrators because they are sometimes the perpetrators. How stupid or narcisstic do you have to be to think you're incapable of wrongdoing, for ANY REASON, never mind something as arbitrary and uncontrollable as your gender?

FarCharmander · 2022-04-13T17:19:49+00:00

One value Peterson is for is equality

Jayh456 · 2022-04-13T17:37:31+00:00

Jordan Peterson has a PhD in Clinical Psychology and is a professor at a university. Thinking he is smart is quite rational I'd say.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2022-04-13T15:59:30+00:00

The fact they limit non feminists to responding to *responses* to responses is hilarious.

Before I was banned from there, they had implemented the "top level comments only" rule, to which I abided. They realized that still didn't stop discussion that disrupted their narrative.

Ninja_Arena · 2022-04-13T16:27:25+00:00

Just like there is no standard or test to vote other than being able to show up, there is no standard (ethical or intellectual) to being a mod or start a subreddit or control a social media platform.

In fact, similar to politicians and police officers, very often the people attracted to the job are the last people you'd want doing those jobs.

2paxSugar · 2022-04-13T17:19:13+00:00

They don’t. They expect to be powerful enough to not be contested when they proffer up nonsense. The goal is to disempower them. Not to offer reason in hopes that they will change their ways.

Ryuku_Cat · 2022-04-13T16:09:42+00:00

I’m not a huge fan of Jordan Peterson. He loves Word-salad and redefining definitions. But liking him is definitely not a red flag. Why would it be?

2022-04-13T17:06:56+00:00

Haven't seen him being sexist, but he is definetly a hypocritical grifter with a massive amount of really stupid opinions.

2022-04-13T19:49:35+00:00

Peterson and Shapiro only attract dumb people who think they are smart. Definitely a red flag. There's a reason why extreme conservatives love them.

At first I though this was on the Jokes subR.

Feminism just like all “isms” will end when people start asking hard questions about ideology and the conversation is stopped.

By demanding blind obedience, you only get the blind that will follow. Anyone else who can see a glimpse of truth, will quickly discard the ideological belief structure.

DifficultyEastern · 2022-04-13T18:45:50+00:00

Jordan Peterson is so amazing and everything he says is so facts. Alot of new wave feminists can't comprehend or understand what he is saying because you need to be very intelligent. I say this a a free proud woman

In all honesty I don't take Mr. Peterson any seriously either (look @ his daughter; terrible terrible example) so... neither sides of it has seriousness; of course the female worshipping sides being the worst

CrittyCrit · 2022-04-13T17:02:32+00:00

Wow. That's absurd. I gotta say as a woman who is not religious, i find a lot of value in Jordan Peterson's lectures and i honest to goodness don't understand why everyone has such a hate boner over him. Is it because he values free speech over censorship? I don't get it.

I hope someone explains this to me.

JWPSmith · 2022-04-13T18:22:32+00:00

He's exactly what an idiot thinks a smart person sounds like

DaveStreeder · 2022-04-13T20:42:50+00:00

Whether or not you’re a feminist is debatable, I guess, but to say Jordan isn’t sexist just seems ignorant. According to New York Times, after being told of an incel driving his car into some people, he said “Violent attacks are what happens when men do not have partners, Mr. Peterson says, and society needs to work to make sure those men are married. “He was angry at God because women were rejecting him,” Mr. Peterson says of the Toronto killer. “The cure for that is enforced monogamy. That’s actually why monogamy emerges.” Which, idk might just be me, does not seem to be non-sexist

tempis · 2022-04-13T14:27:58+00:00

Jordan Peterson is very good at speaking lots of words but not actually saying anything of substance. He sounds reasonable to impressionable people. If one engages their critical thinking for just a little bit, you quickly realize he’s full of shit.

KayabaJac · 2022-04-13T19:44:21+00:00

It is in fact a red flag, because JP is a conservative dipshit, who built his career on lying, fear mongering and posing as a father figure for young dissatisfied men, despite being unaccomplished, miserable, and mentally and ideologically lacking himself.

Jordan Peterson is a pseudo-intellectual grifter, that likes to redefine words to mean whatever happens to back up the narrative he's trying to push. He's a stupid person's idea of a smart person.

Stickguy259 · 2022-04-13T19:37:10+00:00

ActPsychological8189 · 2022-04-13T16:00:58+00:00

That's a big difference between these subs and this one: bans (automatic or otherwise) and removed comments.

The mods of this sub are ok with different opinions, even if they're out of bad faith. Sure, your comment may get downvoted to Hell (mine have, and prolly will in the future), but neither it nor you will be removed.

I understand carving out spaces for specific types of people, but refusal to allow critique and question will lead to bad juju down the road.

White_Immigrant · 2022-04-13T21:23:47+00:00

Jordan Peterson being one of the few mainstream voices that oppose feminism is deeply depressing. He's pro Christian, pro capitalism, both ideologies that have been used to curb stomp men's rights for centuries, but because he takes a stand against the woke feminist nonsense he's celebrated as a fucking hero.

Seawolf40 · 2022-04-13T21:24:19+00:00

Sailbad_the_Sinner30 · 2022-04-13T21:49:50+00:00

Peterson’s just another in a loooooong line of intellectual grifters trying to sell alienated young men on some supposedly “natural” form of masculine spirituality. There were probably guys like him teaching 17 year olds to disembowel dogs as part of their kóryos rituals in the north of what is today Ukraine, 10,000 years ago.

Madsmathis · 2022-04-13T22:15:03+00:00

Targeting a male audience is weird, she writes in a group about feminism which is almost all women

Edit: And Peterson doesn't even target a male audience, which he has said multiple times

Nat_Prance · 2022-04-13T23:30:07+00:00

Liking Jordan Peterson's self-help books isn't a red flag, those are extremely popular with people who don't know who he is and afaik the advice is mostly practical stuff like "get organized" and "speak clearly," between the tangents about Disney movies.

Thinking that Jordan Peterson is telling you the truth about everything and isn't gratuitously manipulating the information he presents through major lies of omission is a serious red flag.

The guy is an evangelical Western preacher who went into academia and still managed to attach himself to anti-Semites, racism, and mystical new age bullshit. I think he acknowledges Jung's tenure as a Nazi in one of his lectures, but afaik he hasn't brought up the 30+ years of statements and efforts from international Jungian institutes on how Jung's personal belief in white superiority impacted the development of his theories as well as the use of Jungian psychotherapy on non-white patients/clients.

Peterson is a dour soothesayer who has found a large group of depressed and desperate men who want to hear somebody with a degree in psychology tell them that they have value, their brains aren't broken, and that they as an individual have more power than they could have ever even imagined, if it weren't for those bloody Judeo-Marxists.

Incidentally, kind of strange that Peterson's favourite author is late Russian nationalist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a man who objectively influenced Putin's designs on retaking Ukraine with his 1990 essay Rebuilding Russia. Putin was a huge fan, presented him with national awards, spoke at his televised funeral. Peterson wrote the foreword for Gulag Archipelago.

So yeah, liking his books isn't a red flag, although there are better self-help books than 12 Rules for Dating My Con-Artist Daughter, and you should just read Joseph Campbell instead of Maps of Meaning if you really want to commit to the hero worship aspect.

Being a devout worshiper of Peterson, saying things like "Well, you just don't understand him" or "you need to watch this lecture to really get him," that's a red flag because you don't have the self-awareness to realize that Peterson is reviled for pretty straightforward reasons in the liberal and left spheres. It's not misinterpretation, it's stuff like his jerk-off session with Camille Paglia or his explicitly racist jokes about native people. He's not a pleasant man to listen to or watch, and several of his associates are explicitly affiliated with the far-right.

I know that this isn't a battle that can be won in this sub, I know I'm not winning over MRAs with a polemic against their Rasputin, but I think men who have been influenced by Peterson should at the very least try and understand why he's so disliked by such a wide variety of people. It's not sensational reporting or groupthink, it's because the guy is a pretty notorious asshole. Not everybody likes assholes.

Phantombiceps · 2022-04-14T02:49:32+00:00

I consider it a red flag. Nothing to do with feminism, the guy is just a hypocritical serial liar , bullshit artist with no self awareness or sense of responsibility. Being easily duped by some blowhard obscurantist just because he’s great at rhetoric, is not a good sign. Outside of clinical psychology/self help advice, it is hard to think of any subject he isn’t full of shit on.

Edit: obviously you shouldn’t be censored though
