A recent debate between Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman on Channel 4 has taken the internet by storm. Stefan Molyneux offers his perspective on the debate, the endless onslaught of "gotcha" questions, female agreeableness and the importance of preparation.
Jordan Peterson debate on the gender pay gap, campus protests and postmodernism:

The Channel 4 interview was a fascinating glimpse into the clash between leftist "feelings" and objective "facts".
Each "Gotcha!" question was very calmly answered by Dr. Peterson, who had the grace not to gloat (I know: not his style) as he scored victory after victory. Even his laughter came across as graceful, at least to my ears.
Kudos to Channel 4 for their decision to let this debate be placed online.
What I find especially encouraging (and even surprising) is that Dr. Peterson managed to convince Cathy Newman to admit that her approach was aggressive and that maybe, just maybe, her ideas were mistaken (although she didn't say it in so many words).
Stefan is right to hope that his daughter will not have to grow up bathed in fake (in the sense that they only pretend to care about women) feminist rhetoric.
I hope we can see more such discussions.
Peterson is a big hypocrite and is in no different than her. When push comes to shove Peterson is exactly like the leftist SJW's.
When Lindsay Shepard was being grilled because she showed Peterson video in her class. Her tormentors kept saying, it would have been OK to show the video if she had been more negative toward Peterson and told the class he was a bad person and not to listen to him.
Oddly enough that is the exact reason Peterson gave for dis-inviting Faith Goldy. He said if Faith had been more negative and biased in her reporting, then it would have been OK.
I still think he owes her an apology.
Absolutely Love #JBP 🤘🏼
