thanks for reposting this, Noah. ever since I first heard of him maybe a decade ago, Peterson set off all my alarms. at that time he was sweeping up mostly men, it seemed, into his thrall, and they were besotted with the guy. has he lost any of. his luster for these followers or is he still a big noise in that anti-woke scene? it was the misogyny that first alarmed me, and his general high-handed "don't question me" mien.

A worthy reprint. One might add an afterward to the piece, though, that Peterson's languaging against gender-diverse people has become simply vile. There is no fellow traveler-itis going on there. His bigotry in that zone is not just anti-human, it's snide - as if he seems to be deriving pleasure in crapping on the validity of trans people from his lofty perch.
