How much responsibility do you feel you have particular it's the alt right
Who as you say, some of them enjoyed your work and say I'm not one of you I'm not one of you guys I'm not with you
Can they haven't enjoyed my work?
I've definitely read bits on the in read more. Do you think a trans woman is a real woman? I
Don't really like the way those questions are formulated, you know, I don't know what that means what you mean a real woman well
In your mind, you know, it depends what you think a real woman is, but do you think a trans woman is a woman?
No
Why not?
Because I think that women are capable
Generally speaking of having babies and they have female genitalia and they have an X X chromosome
And and I think the biological markers are relevant. I'm interested in
People being able to have different choices and I'm having a quality of outcome. Uh-huh
Well, so the overwhelming proportion of people who are in prisons are male now, do you want to equalize that just out of curiosity?
What about bricklayers?
they're
99% male and the and we've got about
Three-quarters of the population now in universities in the humanities and social sciences are female. Yeah
Are we going to equalize that and men men work more longer hours? They work more dangerous jobs. They're more likely to move
They're more likely to work outside. They're more likely to participate in jobs in the STEM fields that are scalable
They make more money for those reasons and that's all hidden under the idea that the reason that men and women make
Different amounts of money is because of their gender. It's a very simplistic analysis. Why are you against the use of alternate pronouns?
I know I'm against the use of
Legislation to determine what words up that myself and other people are required to utter
But would you use alternate pronouns if a student asked you to I?
Think I've made my position on not clear already
Well, perhaps not to our audience at home who are just being introduced to this. Would you use alternate new announced and why not?
I'd because I don't believe that other people have the right to determine what language I use especially when it's backed by punitive legislation and
When the words that are being required are the constructions there are artificial constructions of people. I regard as radical ideologue
Who's view point? I do not share until women got full legal rights, they could own property themselves. They could work
Essentially, they were owned they were distributing owners by their fathers and then by mental status to the domination by men
Yeah, they said that you thought that what emancipated women primarily in the 20th century was technological revolution?
No, no primarily, but that's one of two
I think there's new things very I know I think the pill was a primary force in the emancipation of women
I think an extension of of tampons. Let's say or there are the provision of proper sanitary
facilities
toilets and that sort of thing
You're thinking instead
It was the action of courageous feminists in the 1920s that produced a social revolution that overthrew the patriarchy that's your theory
Yeah, that's a foolish theory
That's pure narcissism at work by the way
You know what to highjack to hijack an event like this
that other people put time and effort into and to
use they there are their civility of the crowd and the civility of the organizers as an excuse to
Blatantly, yell out you're ill informed opinions is no way to conduct a civil dialogue
It's absolutely appalling the people who do that should be embarrassed
My idea of the patriarchy is a system of male dominance of society. Yeah, but that's not my sense of the patriarchy
It's always what's yours? Well in what sense is our society?
male-dominated
the fact that the vast majority of wealth is owned by men the vast majority of
capital and is owned by men women do more unpaid labor a tiny proportion of men and a huge proportion of people who are
Seriously disaffected or men most people in prison are men. Most people who are
On the street or men most victims of violent crime are men. Most people who commit suicide are men
Most men most people who die in wars are men
People who do worse in school are men. It's like where's the dominance here precisely what you're doing is you're taking a tiny
substrata of hyper
Successful men and using that to represent the entire structure of the Western society. There's nothing about that
That's vaguely appropriate but I could say equally want the most rape victims are women
You know terrible things happen to people of both sexes and you could say that with with with perfect beautilities
but that doesn't provide any evidence for the existence of a male-dominated patriarchy I would say that anybody with
More than a cursory knowledge of 20th century history who dares to claim
Simultaneously that they have compassion for the downtrodden and that they're Marxists are revealing either their an ignorance of history
that's so astounding that it's actually a form of miracle or a kind of
or a kind of malevolence
That's so reprehensible that it's almost unspeakable because we already ran the equity experiment over the course of the 20th century
And we already know what the the Marxist doctrines have done for oppressed people all around the world and the answer that mostly was
Imprison them enslave them work them to death or execute them
And as far as I can tell that's not precise commensurate with any message of compassion
Sorry tried that didn't work
We've got a hundred million corpses to prove it and that's plenty for me
And if it's not enough for you well
Then you should do some serious thinking either about your historical knowledge about your moral character a question for professor Peterson
Why do you feel that someone's personal gender identity and pronouns infringes your free speech?
Can one not also argue based on your interpretation
that professors can use racial slurs in their classroom and
That the inability to do so would violate their freedom of speech
There's a difference between saying that there's something you can't say and saying that there are things that you have
to say and I regard these made-up pronouns all of them as the neologisms of
radical PC authoritarians
do you understand that and I don't I'm not a fan of that sort of person and the
Reason, I'm not a fan of that sort of person is because I've done my homework
I've read everything I can get my hands on in the development of authoritarian political systems
And I know the literature inside out and backwards and I am NOT going to be a mouthpiece
for language that I detest and
that's that
I think you have no idea how pernicious and dangerous it is
Well, no
I really never go throughout history have
fundamentally cooperated to push back against the absolute catastrophe of existence a
terrible death rate that the probability of chronic starvation early death disease
the difficulty of raising children with all the death that was associated with that and to
look backwards in time and say well basically what happened was men took the Opera hand and
Persecuted women in this tyrannical patriarchy's it's absolutely dreadful miss reading of history
It's a terrible thing to teach young women and it's a horrible thing to inflict upon men when the Marxists say
Well, that wasn't real Marxism what it really means and I've thought about this for a long time
It's the most arrogant
possible statement anyone could ever make it means if I would have been in Stalin's position I would have ushered in the damn you
topia instead that instead of the genocide of massacres because I
Understand the doctrine of Marxism and everything about me is good
It's like well think again sunshine. You don't understand it
You don't understand it and you're not that good and if the power was in your hands assuming you had the competence
Which you don't?
You wouldn't have done any better
And even if you had there would have been someone else
Waiting right behind you to shoot you the first time you actually tried to do anything good and that's what happened to all the old
Guard who ran the damn Revolution Stalin rounded them all up and shot them along with their families and millions of other people
So even if you do happen to be that avatar of moral purity that you claim
Implicitly the probability that you'd get to act out your goodness in relationship to those possessed by your Radiology is zero
He's being sensitive to offense such a problematic. We would have previously called that menace
It's a terrible problem. So imagine, you know, imagine you. Okay, so the rule is you can't offend anyone
All right. Let's say you're speaking to one person. I can't defend you. All right fair enough
What if I'm speaking to ten people do I get to offend one in ten? How about one in a hundred?
How about one in a thousand you're going to come out on stage and you're gonna say something
Important about something vital and you're not going to offend one person in a thousand
Well, you can't say anything about anything important ever without offending. Probably the person you're talking to an
Important speech about important issues, especially contentious issues is instantly offensive
You
