Does anyone else have a problem with Jordan Peterson's arguments about oppression?
I'm no scholar, but I tend to hear a lot of flaws in Peterson's arguments. For example: listen to this interview with Peterson and ask how he might square his statements with a country like Saudi Arabia where women have been openly oppressed, and just now have the chance to have a drivers' license? Peterson really seems to lose it at about the 6:50 timestamp. To me it almost sounds like he gets very nervous at the questioning.
Like I said, I'm no scholar, but I think Peterson is a bit of a lightweight.
