You're a very centered person my friend. Most folks aren't going to atop and think about a comment like his. I appreciate this quality in you. Hope you're doing well.
It's obviously much easier for males to step over/across female boundaries, impinge on on female identity and be "allowed" to do sothan it is for females to be allowed to usurp male territory and identity; because male authority and entitlement is respected and women's rights sometimes aren't even acknowledged when it comes to privacy and autonomy.
A quote from Arty Morty's substack, "the movement formerly known as Gay Rights has been co-opted by straight people". As if .. .. Ben Cohn, Monroe Bergdorf, Nina Arsenault, Clive Owen or Peter Twatchel have been co-opted by straight people! B.S.
You seem to be oddly blind to the obvious implications of this. Peterson doesn't think lesbians exist because lesbians have been and still are mostly invisible, except to each other. Why? Because as you note, men as a class haven't, and don't, see women as equals, but as reproducers. I fail to understand your worshipful stance toward Peterson. That he's on the right side of gender ideology doesn't make him a genius, nor a saint. In my estimation, he's a rather tiresome pedant with a typically condescending attitude toward women that I find offensive. I dislike him.
That you think it's because of his stance on gender ideology is odd and quite the assumption. I almost didn't even watch this interview because I am growing exhausted with the topic and much prefer listening to him on other topics. I’m sorry, I’ve tried to make it quite clear I don’t group people in such a way that would allow me to agree that men as a class don’t see women as equals. It is the opposite of everything I strongly believe.
Yes, Jordan Peterson is deeply misogynistic and he likes to blame the trans cult on women who promoted the idea that women and men are the same - without any special, uniquely distinguishing characteristics. Though such ideologues do bear some responsibility, the subculture of impersonation and mockery of women is centuries old, but has lately been mainstreamed and normalized by people like Andrew Long Chew, Ru Paul, Candace Cayne, Nina Arsenault and other high profile role models who despise and degrade women.

Thank you! :) I am hanging in there. This was the only piece I could bring myself to write last week and I was so happy I could do even that!
Everything is going to be fine. The first few months are really tiresome and lethargic. Take care of yourself, we'll be here 💚
