Jordan Peterson responds to guest Louise Perry's assertion that a positive byproduct of the sexual revolution is that rape became less of a property crime and more of a crime against a person. Peterson wants to push back on this slightly, because he thinks it's more complicated than that: "It isn't obvious to me that that offers women enough defense... in order for that to be recognized as a crime properly it has to be viewed as something that will bring the males on her side to her defense in principle."

Rape is a violation of consent. It is to all intents and purposes a human rights violation. Is that not how it's prosecuted in the courts?
 
True? I never really thought about how they started, I do wonder about some of the online unis though, surely some of them would be less than legit
It's a sliding scale sort of. RMIT for example could offer degrees before they were a University but they were subject to closer audit. Once they became an official University in the nineties they could "self accredit" a bit more.

So those online ones are probably just more subject to external scrutiny.

As for the parliament Acts, in some cases there's specific conditions like having regional campuses and so on.

But we digress....

I think Jordan’s point was that it makes more sense for it to be a property crime as that would “offer more defense” and as a deterrent.

I’m usually pretty good at trying to pick through the idiocy and get to the core point of a statement but even I struggle with the logic one this one. Short version what he’s saying is idiotic
 


Why does he structure his tweets like e.e. cummings?

lol

Kinda fitting, considering this is coming from the bloke who would apparently rather die than delete a tweet, only to do just that once the money came calling and told him to reign it in after he quote tweeted in support of Steven Crowder in the wake of his spat with the Daily Wire :tearsofjoy:
 


He had Abbott on recently. Wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Gotta laugh at people who say Peterson is "liberal."


A “Great Leader”? What a ****ing clown.

Are there any Peterson acolytes remaining in this thread?

Jordan has been hosting a conference called the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, which really means 'let's burn all the fossil fuels we want'. The attendee's list was dispiriting, 3 ex Oz PM's (no prizes for guessing who), the Beetrooter, Dan dementia Tehan and others with IQ's less than a ferret. Little science but lot's of cherry picking.


'Michael Shellenberger, an American pro-nuclear energy and environment commentator, gave a speech where he discounted the impact of extreme weather events.

“Sea level rise is the climate impact I am the least worried about,” he said. “The reason for that is that I have been to the Netherlands, one-third of which is below sea level.”

While Shellenberger isn’t that worried about sea level rise, the Dutch government certainly is.

Last year Dutch sea level rise experts, including from the country’s program that coordinates the nation’s defences against flooding, wrote in a research paper that the Dutch delta was “extremely vulnerable to [sea level rise]” and an acceleration in the rate of sea level rise “may have a major impact on the livability of the delta for future generations” within decades.'


So this dickhead has been to the Netherlands and that makes him an expert in sea level rise and he says we shouldn't have concerns. FMD, these people are stupid. No wonder we are doomed.

No, he's right and he's convinced me.

In fact, global hunger is actually a myth because I went to a Woolworths last week.
 
I see Howard a bit like Kennett in they actually do have some positive things they did (though a lot of negative).

Scomo and Abbott literally nothing. Turnbull can at least say gay marriage passed under his watch, but overall the 9 year LNP govt 13-22 was just an exercise in trying to do as little as humanly possible to govern.
Turnbull has to be kicking himself that he spent his whole time as PM trying to pander to the nutters in his party only to get backstabbed anyway while accomplishing pretty much nothing. Certainly not anything he had any skin in the game on.
