Did you not ready that list before posting? Or do you actually think, oh, gee, I need to defend the honor of incels everywhere?
I detest religion, so I am no fan of Peterson. But he's only one person in a very long list. You are asserting that the Peterson drop of ink turns the whole pool orange. That's obviously untrue. What you're actually doing there is cherry picking the most lurid example in the list. I might ask if you thought that wouldn't be transparent. I mean, come on... try a little if you wish to defend this silly "call out culture" thing you and Ty seem to think is acceptable.

If you wish to defend the dumb masses who throw rhetorical rocks on a board of people who can actually think, you have to do better than use the types of arguments those dimwit rock throwers would deem persuasive. This isn't a rally or a protest where the need to observe logic can be suspended.
