It’s been known for centuries that women are a civilizing force on men. The author is a nincompoop.

Edit: I mean the author from NYT that the article’s author is discussing.
For those that are familiar with the movie, Idiocracy, whenever I see an Peterson interview where the interviewer disagrees with him, it reminds me of the courtroom scene in that movie, where Peterson is the lead character surrounded by arrogantly ignorant idiots. They don’t stand a chance.
Peterson is at his best when being attacked. He is calm, cool, calculated, well read and researched. The storm rages in front of him and he is unmoved.
“It’s not that I think it. It’s that the clinical literature indicates that. ... I’m not making this up!”
Intellectually, Peterson is like a giant in these interviews, and the journalists are intellectually like those tiny yappy dogs that do nothing useful but generate noise. They are so stupid that even when he swats them and basically offers profound insult to their lack of intelligence, they’re still too stupid to understand they just got shown up as fools.
These are people of faith, ironically enough.
They have total faith that the feminist world-view, that feminist theory, is correct, that it explains the world, that any challenge to it is based on lies and springs from a desire to mislead.
This in spite of the fact that the entire edifice is the work of non-scientists, of people who reject the scientific method and say that science is a misogynist and colonialist plot.
It’s not hard to seem like a giant when surrounded by Lilliputians.
The author, Mark Bauerlein, knows that women are a civilizing force on men. It’s the NYT reporter who lacked even rudimentary insight because she didn’t know that.
Idiocracy is a template.
It is what the Elites have planned for us.
They want credulous consumers.
Critical thinkers are a direct threat to their rule.
Oh man. Interesting. That’s even worse.

It’s ironic how many feminists accept the facts in the right (which is to say, the left) context when they argue that women leaders would promote more jaw-jaw vs. war-war.
I hope he’s around for a long time. I know Peterson says his diet works for him and has healed much of what ailed him, but I wish he could find something less extreme that works for him. He eats nothing but meat.
I have one of his books. Ordered another yesterday. Get his books. Watch videos on youtoob, while they are still there.
Meat and greens.
Here’s a neutral source on why monogamy is civilizing.

I recommend his book “12 Rules for Life”.
Book Review: ‘12 Rules for Life’ by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

For the Cliff Notes version, PragerU’s video “Fix Yourself” by Dr. Peterson is great.
