Avoiding high heels and misogynist idiots

You’re probably up to the eyeballs with abortion by now, so let’s look at another fun topic instead: The latest proclamation from right-wing internet intellectual Jordan Peterson, who says that — and I’m quoting the New York Times here, so it ain’t fake — “socially enforced monogamous conventions decrease male violence”.

This is the same man, remember, who tells us in his populist book 12 Rules For Life that order is masculine and chaos is feminine.

Clearly being a right-wing internet intellectual, adored by legions of young males dotted along the incel spectrum, requires your proclamations not just to be nonsensical, but contradictory too.
