  1. I'm a young woman and a big fan of Dr Peterson's work, it's definitely changed my life for the better. That said, I can't help but disagree with the 'three ways of viewing people and the world' he describes women to be stuck in: infant, caretaker of infant or predator. That's not the case for me. It's clear women on average are higher in neuroticism than men and the idea that it's because of increased physical vulnerability makes sense, but the triad seems like a massive over-simplification. I think it varies based on personality type and a lot of women don't fit that description. Radical leftist women seem to view the world in that way (though they're likely not conscious of it), and that over-protective trait is pathological. It's a well known saying that becoming a mother changes women and how they look at life, suggesting that before you have an infant you see the world as being safer and are more are likely to take risks. Peterson's idea makes it seem like we are hard-wired to be illogical and unadventurous, never taking risks and being irrationally over protective, always either infantilising people or demonising them. It also suggests that out votes will always be tilted by such irrationality. For example, look at the beauty and the beast story. It encapsulates the female fantasy for romantic relationships perfectly. Women look at the 'beast' as neither solely a predator, nor infant, nor even infant care-taker. It's also clear that everyone's lives are better, including children's, when we accept there's risk and chase adventure regardless. Push past safe comfort-zones for something greater. Perhaps you may think I'm not self-aware enough, but those are my thoughts.

  3. I am a Christian born in communism and came to America at 18 and now in my 50s , I kept my faith I learned from my grandparents and parents and nobody forced me to be the way I am ! Married for 30 years and have 2 beautiful children and raised them with my faith and they are their own individuals but they believe in God and are good people the way I raised them to be! You are alright with me Dr Peterson and I admire you and your teachings, I guess I am a conservative after the standard of this world but I don’t care how I am called!🙏❤️

  4. Why would a man want to offer a lifetime contract to a woman who has already given away the most emotional experience in her life that will come back to her for the rest of her life ? Same holds true for a man. Is it not true that the success rate for two virgins who marry; "Until death do us part", somewhere around 99%. Hence, rapists are the most vile for stealing a person's innocence, male of female.

  5. You seriously provide a platform – after all that could be learned – to a hoax guy like Peterson? 🤔
    Well, you seem to have the right audience for this, considering the load of fanboy comments here.
    Good lord, let there be brain!

  6. I like this guy because he’s interesting. There is a lot of truth in what he says. He has a gift in articulation in such a way that he brings people with basically the same beliefs together. I like him because he not afraid to say what’s true. Here is the simple truth and the root cause in society’s without complicating it with jargon and technical containers. Good and evil exist. Good is not evil and evil is not good. Different religions do not have a monopoly on truth. All truth comes from God. People that choose evil over good separate themselves from both God and good people. There are many people who are only kept from the truth because they do not know where to find it. We are at war with good and evil. The issue is that both good and evil people coexist with one another. There are penalties for breaking laws. Gods laws are higher than laws of man and so are the penalties greater for breaking Gods laws than man’s laws. Primarily because God is eternal and so is his punishment.

    I feel like I just sat in on 7 relevant university classes – and yes – I am motivated to action. What action remains to be seen – but yes. Thank you Jordan Peterson. And Rita, what a refreshing interviewer you are!

  8. My 79 years on earth has taught me common sense, and that along with reading good books brings me to the exact same conclusions as Jordan Peterson, although I could never articulate it so brilliantly as he does.

  9. Leftists aren't new culturally or spiritually. They are regressive and a sign of a lack of progress and Instability. They mimic the old Roman fascists to the tee. They are vile eccentric entitled who sneer and revile people who not only won't but can't accept their idiotic lifestyles and narcassistic grandure.

  10. The objective of a successful interviewer should be to allow the subject to illustrate their points of view on various topics… not to set traps, interject themselves as the subject or debate the subject. Somehow 20 years ago, so called journalists lost their way. So refreshing to see "old school" journalism coming back. I hope other journalists are paying attention and learning from this excellent interview 👏
