As am I. It means gubmint, leave me alone and do only the few things you need to do. Classic liberals believe in laissez-faire economic policy.
Since we're making shit up, I'm a classic conservative.
Exactly.
He's a classic Trumptard.
Jordan Peterson refuses to call film “IT”, says clown is clearly a “HIM”
TORONTO – Controversial U of T psychology professor Jordan Peterson once again ignited a public furor last night, refusing to refer to a popular Stephen King-based horror film by the gender-neutral pronoun “IT”, on the grounds that the titular character, Pennywise the clown, is obviously a “HIM.”
According to eyewitnesses, Peterson spent 12 minutes holding up the box office line at Toronto’s Varsity Cinema while he repeatedly requested VIP room tickets for “HIM”, to the confusion of numerous employees.
“I was called over to the box office because this guy wouldn’t stop going like, ‘I’m here for HIM, I want to see HIM,’” recalled assistant manager Toby Duncan. “When I eventually clued in and asked if he meant ‘IT’, he said he most certainly did NOT mean ‘IT’ and called me a radical postmodernist ideologue trying to punish him for not using the clown’s ‘compelled pronoun.’ “
Having gained international attention last year for his outspoken refusal to call students and faculty by gender-neutral pronouns, Peterson made it clear that Pennywise – a demonic embodiment of children’s fears – would also receive no quarter.
“The objective biological reality is, Pennywise is a male monster, who is mostly a clown and sometimes a bug, but always a boy,” he explained to fellow moviegoers in the lobby. “I cannot be coerced into respecting his place in this ever-expanding community of the marginalized by calling the film ‘IT’. I will not use that clown-bug’s words.”
“And if I’m taken to jail for that, which I can only assume I’m about to be, then so be it,” he boldly declared, though by all accounts he was free to go.
In response to the persecution he’s faced at the hands of the movie theatre, Peterson has launched a crowdfunding campaign with a goal of $15,000, in order to buy a copy of the film when it comes out on Blu-ray.

Out of context racism
Nope. No it isn't fake.
You should have taken them off FIRST
then you wouldn't be all knotted up in them now.
So YET another bullsh1t accusation from mf...that's pretty low bud.
Expected from YOU though, how could you do anything else?
You really put the LIE in LiEBARREL doood.
Nope, it is not a BS accusation.
It IS out of context, as explained by the guy the tweet was aimed at....
Gregg Hurwitz's response sure makes this "journalist" look stupid.
'A joyous event': Edmonton activists to counter Jordan Peterson lecture with dance party
A dance party celebrating Edmonton’s LGBTQ community will coincide with Jordan Peterson’s highly publicized lecture on Feb. 11.
The Free Expression Party: 12 Rules of Resistance – a cheeky reference to Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos – will bring an evening of comedy and music to La Cite Francophone, using entertainment to counter what one organizer says is Peterson’s “transphobic” messaging.
“Instead of focusing on him and focusing on the ways that he continues to delegitimize trans identities, we’re going to celebrate all of these people because we care about them and they matter to us and we’re so delighted that they are in our community,” said Batul Gulamhusein, a field organizer with Progress Alberta.

Good idea.
A counter-event instead of trying to prevent him speaking.
Clash of ideas and culture, both sides free to speak and act.
That is what it is all about.
BTW, Mentalfloss, you need to deal with this:
Gregg Hurwitz's response sure makes this "journalist" look stupid.

Funny how Mentalfloss has disappeared.
It certainly seems he owes Dr. Peterson an abject apology.
It's pretty unusual that a professor manages to be transphobic.
I really wonder why he's like that.
Of course he is.
If he wasn't, then he'd be able to use it and still fight against any legislation that would obligate him to do so.

URGH - Apparently, people having an opinion that others disagree with makes them "alt right". How ridiculous is that? Peterson is far from being an "alt right" as are MOST Conservatives. While there are those who are extreme, I have come to the conclusion that most of the extremists are of the "alt Left" and are becoming extremely dangerous to our society.
The Millennials and those coming after especially have no idea of what they are being brain-washed into believing because most have no real life experience being that they now have "safe spaces" and offend easily at every turn. Guess I'll invest in bubble wrap and hopefully pay for my retirement!!
Since history isn't being taught in schools any more, (or if it is, it's being re-written by the ideologues) they have no clue what it means to lose their freedoms, especially the freedom to speak out. It is truly unfortunate that we've let this happen to our children because they will be paying the price for all this Political Correctness BS.
Do we really want people to suppress their speech and thoughts, especially if they go against what is civil or do we want to know who they are? I quite frankly would prefer to know who they are - so I can avoid them.
JMHO
You are a jerk aren't you? OMG! Transphobic? Do you even know what that means?
sigh....

Dear Dimwit:
The truth is he is one of very few people standing up to compelled speech rules issued by the Trudeau gov't. Taking on the state requires courage, issuing rules on what you must say is the act of a fascist.
Wanna punch a Nazi?
Start with Trudeau.
Oh, and your refusal to address the context of Peterson's "Indian theft" tweet after you were the one that posted it (with glee) proves one thing: you are nothing but a sycophant, a shill, and most of all, an obnoxious troll.
