Not a bad interview—is 30 mins—and I don't mind watching Cathy Newman, but she does tend to ask black and white questions when rattled, as though it can then be answered as an absolute when there are other factors at play that make up the entire equation. That is her way of trying to get one-upmanship on someone who is smarter than her. She also got rattled and lost for words when she was processing something Jordan said about causing offense when they were discussing transgender issues. The truth in this instance is what he said, the truth. You can't argue with an absolute and she was literally choking to respond.
Peterson knows his stuff and for the most part remains very conducted and calm. He speaks things for what they are, not for what they get painted out to be and are supposed to represent. The gender pay gap has always been a contentious issue, but is always easy to debunk, but some people, feminists mostly, just cling to it as though it is what they hang their entire movement onto to make their phony claims look credible.
Equality of opportunity, nice for those that wish to pursue certain careers that are highly driven, but equality of outcome is a fallacy. The opportunity is never going to determine the consequence of outcome which is and always has a capricious and unpredictable nature. It is about wanting to control the outcome, when it will become what it is. This is really about some feminists saying we want this as a given because of our gender, not because of cutting the mustard and willingness to play the game.
Expecting men to be more like women to even the playing field, is because they aren't prepared to be more like men, because of the differences in gender dynamic. It is absurd to think that men are going to change to become something women think they should be due to some sort of arrogant entitlement.
I am not sure if you read the comments on you tube to the video, but many are hilariously on point about her approach to his facts and perceptions by her dismissive and non sequitur responses:
Peterson: Farts
Newman: So you are saying women aren't worthy of breathing fresh air....
