Jordan Peterson Thread.

There's a gender pay gap because men just do stuff better. Am I rite, lads? #lads

 

[Prevenger17]

Or it could be even more subtle (i.e., structural); men tend to hire men even when they think they are making a good will effort to diversify.

You know, I find it hard to reconcile my inner liberal with my actual experience when it comes to this. I have worked in female dominated environments my whole life, from nine years in a hospital where the medical, nursing, administration staff and hospital manager were almost uniformly women, to now being a Recruitment Consultant for HR and Office, where I have gotten jobs for about a hundred women, but 3 blokes. That's not an exaggeration. I know that women struggle on average more to get executive level posts or at least don't get paid the same for them, but they do have massive advantages in certain areas. I don't think executive pay disparities are a good place to start when it comes to gender perception in the workplace

Frankly, that's quite petty of him. There was an error in a critical book review of his book, so he uses that to nullify the entire review, when the error really didn't have much to do with the substance of the critical review.

I see. Okay, then.

such an unfortunate voice he has

For a clinical psychologist, who presumably has studied how physical height is a subconscious factor in whether someone is viewed as a leader, to assign women wearing high heels solely to their desire for sexual attention seems an incomplete analysis.

Similarly he is discounting any social norms about the wearing of makeup by women (speaking from experience in some work environments it is as expected as a tie is for a man and not wearing it can be perceived as messages about conformity/personal grooming standards) I’m skeptical about the rest of his reasoning.

Comes across as a bit of a blurt tbh.

 

[longers]

Comes across as a mega blurt in this, to the point where his cult like fanbase claimed it was cleverly edited... only to find it wasn’t. As someone in the comments says

“Literally the inverse claim to what he says to Cathy Newman "the experiment has been run"

Going to see Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson in the 3 Arena when they come in July, looking forward to it.

Despite fathering two children, Jordan Peterson has yet to bring his wife of 28 years to orgasm.

the alt right got very excited about their new poster boy when he first started getting exposure, he has of course since been revealed as a small minded egotistical contrary bell, unfortunately too many have already nailed their colours to the mast, and will follow him slavishly

It’s such a weird way to argue. It’s that ‘I’m just asking questions’ nonsense that is so intellectually empty. He’s asking questions like that in that interview in under to make controversial comments without having to actually say them

He, like many others, is seduced by pop-Evolutionary Psychology. It is just so easy to say things like "the reason we do this today is that back in our evolutionary past, men did hunted, yadda-yadda-yadda..." I am quite critical and skeptical of a lot of Evolutionary Psychology research, particularly when it gets used to (often prejudicially) rationalize, rather than explain, behavioral differences among men/women, individuals, groups, etc. Also, there are lots of bad studies in Evolutionary Psychology that are founded on weak research design and weak statistical analysis.

Ah the delightful Sam Harris



If you’re lucky you might also get to hear him tell you how white people are genetically superior to other races in terms of IQ.
