During that lecture, he said he refused to use gender-neutral pronouns for students and spoke against "legislation that increased protections for trans and non-binary Canadians," according to Vice.

Four Penguin Random House Canada employees told Vice about an "emotional town hall" the company held to defend the decision to publish Peterson's new book in the face of employee concerns.

"He is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and the fact that he's an icon of white supremacy, regardless of the content of his book, I'm not proud to work for a company that publishes him," one anonymous LGBT junior employee told Vice.

Well I suggest they DEMAND an audience with justine trueDOH the p.m. of CanaDUH to see if they can set this straight. Oh, not in that sense. Or, since they obviously have ALWAYS gotten a trophy so far, either quit their useless jobs or DEMAND a shiny trophy. Or, just phu cough! In a cooperative. decent manner of course.

Mr. Peterson is well spoken on many subjects snowflakes fear and hate.

He is a contributor to youtube, as well.

In this quagmire of insane children attempting to speak as adults, it is a joy to watch this pinprick their idiotic balloons.

They should resign en masse as a protest.

How are these pansies going to react when they find out about Santa Claus?

This is why Trump went to Latinos and Blacks to gather more votes. They’re simply SICK of what the Democrats have become and are starting to see what empowering them means for their own families.

Perhaps Dr. Peterson should find a different publisher. He’s already made Random House a lot of money.

I also recommend his first book in the series, “12 Rules for Life”.

I haven’t read his book “Maps of Meaning”, but I know it is similar to Joseph Campbell’s works.

I have found him to be calm, thoughtful, and articulate.

He is being persecuted because he won’t heel to the idiots and their asinine “pronoun” horsecrap.

Good for him. I admire him greatly in this. Because when the time comes for me, if I anyone ever tries to force me to do that (and I can see it happening in corporate settings) I simply won’t do it.

I won’t. As God is my witness, I won’t go quietly into that submission.

This isn’t even the first time social justice jihadis have tried to ban books.

A similar group tried to prevent JK Rowling’s new book from coming out, and another group got Target to remove Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier.

Agreed. And he made a great point about that: if they can control what pronouns you use, they can control every other word you use for the same emotional / ideological reasons.

God may have created them initially, but yhey learned everything they know from their father, the Devil. Your description of them aptly fits the Father of Lies, too.

When did people start crying and acting ridiculous over people & ideas they disagree with? They are so annoying & need to be shunned. STOP giving into these tests.

If they want to live separately and only deal with liberals I’m fine with that. They aren’t civilized. Just separate everything, let’s see how it works out for them.

And in that, he is damn well right.

I have the same feeling about the wearing of masks.
