I have to agree with your observation here. This probably would have been a better discussion between emails than rather twitter. Where, Jordan right or wrong, could expand upon this thoughts beyond the 140 or is it 280 character limitation. I will buy his “thought experiment” clarification, but ding him for having the conversation on twitter.
I also think some of his observations were wrong about Kavanaugh, but then again, he sees more young men in his environment than I do. Those were his clinical observations over a period of time regarding young men and sex. Whether they actually apply to Kavanaugh is obviously very debatable.
In the end, I think Peterson was wrong to hold this discussion in the public world of twiiter. If it was a discussion between academics, then it probably should have remained as such. Peterson is aware that he can screw things up and that is the last thing he wants to do...but I think he screwed up just a bit here.
Peterson is not a conservative, he bills himself a Classical Liberal. He is a Canadian, not an American. While he is in the states much...some of the nuances might escape him. Maybe...maybe not, eh?
But, Peterson’s war against Political Correctness and the SJW’s is a just war against the insanity of the totalitarian state. Do we throughout one of the better warriors because of a verbal, or rather written miscue? I guess you all will decide.
I'd be hard-pressed to define the difference between what I consider to be a conservative, and a Classical Liberal.
