      Yes, to this thread. It's very worrying. https://twitter.com/GodDoesnt/status/954425472447864832 …

      Helen, I have mulled over this perspective and I do believe there are some flaws. Twitter, as with many other parts of our online experience, is tribal, with or without the application of "care" to those tribes. Unwavering support is, on the surface, akin to that of a cult. 1/

      Peterson's fans are no different than the fans of any celebrity with an ideological pov (Rupaul comes to mind). If our measure of concern is based on who his followers are (men), then our critiques are based on the demographic the followers represent, not the behaviour itself. 2/

      Love this. There's more focus on who he's talking to than what he's saying--that's ID politics. Disagree with his notion of truth, fine. But calling him dangerous for saying "take control of your own life or someone else will" (duh) reveals serious condescension.

      I'm not sure many people do call him dangerous for saying that tho. Maybe they do but no-one in this thread.

      James said it in his last Peterson thread, the one about the Cathy Newman interview.

      For saying people should take control of their own lives?

      Yes. He tries to frame Peterson's approach as some sort of sexist polemic, and implies encouraging young men's masculinity is a manipulative tactic they're too stupid to recognize. Here's the thread: https://twitter.com/GodDoesnt/status/953713104659058689?ref_src=twcamp%5Ecopy%7Ctwsrc%5Eandroid%7Ctwgr%5Ecopy%7Ctwcon%5E7090%7Ctwterm%5E3 …

      I think that's an exaggeration. It's also completely different from saying someone is dangerous for telling people to take control of their own life. We both appreciated Andrew Sullivan's take on celebrating masculinity yesterday.

          "self-actualization repackaged as personal responsibility"..."limited spheres of influence"..."starving for encouragement"..."dangerous" Not trolling; I don't know what I'm supposed to take from this besides "most of these ppl don't matter & galvanizing them will cause trouble."
