My Pronouns; Our Language!
Aside from being treated like some Neo-Nazi skinhead...Jordan Peterson is being silenced again, and it's some kinda shadey! The University was going to have a formal debate on the Non-Binary pronoun issue, but the University decided that the Professor would have to agree to use the Non-binary Pronouns at this debate, or it may 'compromise' the Uni. because of the 'anti-discrimination' laws. He refuses to abide cowards and their ridiculousness.
Are they going to go through with the debate?
Universities have always been hot beds of political activity; the pronoun issue doesn't come up much outside of institutions, especially schools full of people under 25 y.o. How often do you address people by pronouns rather than their name in everyday life? And what's so offensive about picking HE or SHE?
Further food for thought:
What about languages where everything has a gender (isn't that pretty much every other non-english language?) Should we have people get started rewriting the entirety of Russian or French?
The Professor offers an archetypal and mythological look on the issue in his various videos. The historical perspective is overlooked by his opposition. It's called being relevant! He's doing important work standing up against PC agenda-censorship in an intelligent way. If there wasn't tenure, intellectuals not pandering to the social mores of the hour would be completely silenced. They're even threatening to suspend his class.
If you are interested in psychology, especially pertaining to the subconscious and mythological, you'll enjoy the videos of his lectures he uploads.
Mention of mythology @ ~17:40
Personality Lecture 08: Existentialism: Nietzsche, Dostoevsky and Social Hierarchy
This lecture has a lot of good insights on gender: masculinity and femininity; polarities. Just those things which have been in our consciousness since mankind developed one!!!
(yes I said 'mankind' because man is the second syllable in woMAN and it's fucking inclusive. Humankind is an ugly, unpoetic word)
