(FB 1541956556 Timestamp) —“I admire Peterson’s ability to articulate himself and handle the dishonest tactics that are thrown at him by interviewers and debaters. But by the same turn my main annoyance with him, and others like him such as Moly is that they seem to think that being articulate is the best way or perhaps only way to confront dishonest tactics, and that they resort to the same tactics themselves as a means of doing so. Not everyone can articulate themselves that well, especially during a confrontation. I certainly can not do it, in fact I am often stunned speechless when people use sophistry against me. To live in a society where these tactics are the norm is a nightmare for me, and it would not matter how many men like Peterson stand up against it since they are still perpetuating the problem. I like his stance against regulation of speech, and I think it is important but it is only a stop gap measure.”—Jennifer Dean
