we don't hear about that

So what? Unless they told him they were inviting the other dude its totally reasonable. I dont like Peterson but this is so lol.

Isn’t that pretty much the same thing?

Biden still way ahead on the polls.

I've never heard him say anything pro incel or along the lines of men being owed women's attention or bodies

There are plenty of things he's said that I don't agree with but generally speaking his haters don't seem to have a clue what he actually stands for.

Idk man. I remember one talk about makeup in the work place and how women only wear it to appear sexy to men. I can acknowledge there is probably some truth to that but it lacks nuance and even if it isnt pro-incel its certainly something theyd adopt.

There was debate/interview where he was saying that women wear makeup just to be attractive to men and that men just can't control themselves to insinuate that women bring sexual harassment onto themselves. You really need to understand the art of subtlety to get the moral outrage you keep mocking. Nobody is going to out right say these ****ed up ideas. They hide it under layers of watered down language and masked rhetoric to make taboo narratives seem more palatable and thoughtful. It's a technique the KKK adopted once they became unfavorable. I'd find and post the vid but I'm on a phone right now.

Damn, beat me to it.

I saw that interview. Saying that make up plays on some obvious biological and sexual cues isn't telling men they are entitled to rape women. I agree it wasn't his best quote and he should know people are going to read into anything he says beyond what he means but I think your interpretation lacks the same kind of nuance you're accusing me of lacking. You just take the worst possible interpretation and run with it.

Which is what interviews like that are really designed to do... Which is why they took an hour of footage and edited it down to 7 minutes.
