Professor Makes Headlines by Challenging Political Correctness

September 29, 2016

Will Communists sic dogs on non-conforming professor?

In a poignant lecture, (left) distinguished University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson expressed alarm at the loss of intellectual freedom at universities today. 
The headline U of T professor attacks political correctness, says he refuses to use genderless pronouns (National Post, Sept 29), gives you a sense of what happens when a courageous man publicly questions the satanic Masonic Jewish (Communist) agenda. 

Peterson said that if a student asked to be referred to by a non-binary pronoun, he would not recognize their request: "I don't recognize another person's right to determine what pronouns I use to address them. I won't do it." Let's get behind this man. They want to use language to force us to accept genderless-ness or gender dysforia as a normal condition. 

The term "Political Correctness" originated in the Soviet Communist Party. Why is it in widespread use? In the lecture, Peterson says he has clients who are being driven crazy by absurd job demands for political correctness. For example, the term "flip chart" has been banned because apparently "flip" is pejorative for filipinos 

"In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first stage of collectivism, the universities, by re-educating them in a new direction."  Protocols of Zion, 16 .4 




TORONTO -- As part of an hour-long YouTube lecture on political correctness, University of Toronto professor and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson is objecting to the Trudeau government's Bill C-16, which proposes to outlaw harassment and discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression under the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code.

Peterson, a white male in his mid 50s, also decries what he claims are attempts by the university to transform its human resources department into "a politically correct institution."

The news was first reported by the University of Toronto student newspaper, The Varsity.

He is critical of the definition of gender identity as defined by the Ontario Human Rights Commission i.e. "each person's internal and individual experience of gender. It is their sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum." 

The commission defines gender expression as "how a person publicly presents their gender," which can include behaviour and outward appearance such as dress, hair, make-up, body language and voice, as well as a person's name and the pronouns they use.

Peterson, left, is critical of these terms and their definitions as outlined by the commission, and compares the changes Bill C-16 would bring about to the policing of expression in "totalitarian and authoritarian political states."

He also argues against the existence of non-binary gender identities, or those that are not exclusively masculine or feminine‍, saying "I don't think there's any evidence for it."

Peterson said that if a student asked him to be referred to by a non-binary pronoun, he would not recognize their request: "I don't recognize another person's right to determine what pronouns I use to address them. I won't do it."

However, a legal expert says the proposed legislation will advance human rights from a practical and symbolic standpoint. "Bill C-16 is important and plays a practical role because it will allow trans people a means with which to seek redress under the law," said Kyle Kirkup, a professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law who specializes in laws regulating contemporary norms of gender identity and sexuality. "It also plays the symbolic function of letting trans people know that the government recognizes them."

University of Toronto spokeswoman Althea Blackburn-Evans told the National Post that the school is looking into Pearson's video and will have more to say on the matter, but hasn't been able to review all of its content. 

Peterson did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

In his video, Peterson blames the legislation on the overrepresentation of "social justice warrior-type activists" in government, and "because our current Premier (Kathleen Wynne) is lesbian in her sexual preference." He goes on to claim the LGBTI community "has become extraordinarily good at organizing themselves and has a fairly pronounced and very, very sophisticated radical fringe."

Peterson, who is an expert on personality and the psychology of religion, joined the University of Toronto in 1998. Prior to that he taught at Harvard University.

Makow comment- You know something serious has gone awry when the gender identity (i.e. pronouns) of 99.9% of the population takes second place to relative handful of sick people.  It only makes sense if you understand that the Illuminati goal is to pervert us all. Do you think these Masonic Jewish mass murderers really care about the "rights" of transgendered? This is a brazen attack on the natural gender norms of society. More sincere liberals like Peterson are going to wake up and realize that society has been thoroughly subverted. This is the New World Order. 

First Comment by FL:

This PC gender war is spreading everywhere in places you can't even imagine. I have a younger brother who got hired as a general laborer at a car parts factory and, despite 99.9% of the workers being gruff, surly men who have no idea what a pronoun is, part of the orientation for newly hired applicants was a lecture on "gender identity in the workplace". Somehow I doubt trannies are lining up to go assemble car parts, but then again I'm just a transphobic, bigoted, evil white male, so what do I know?

As a Polish journalist and translator, I argue that Polish, Italian or German are much more civilized languages than English. In Continental Europe, we developed millions more words and very sophisticated grammar, than British pirates and fox hunters. NWO proponents want to force us to create new gender neutral pronouns. That would amount to verbal castration and backing off in time by about 5,000 years.

Those idiots would like to force billions of people into OLD WORLD ORDER; into primitive life of herders in Mongolia, dying of hunger and freezing for a lack of sheep dung to heat their tents!

Here's one Professor with a lot of guts - but then, "no guts, no glory." He's absolutely right - there is NO REASON for him to be badgered by insanity. If we all stood up to this nonsense and didn't buy into any of the politically correct bullshit

_The elite would not have gotten this far in their war on everyone and everything holy, true and good. They must do away with normalcy so they can implement their degradation and impurity throughout every nook and cranny of society to bring it down and impose a totalitarian dictatorship upon everyone. If we allow it, we all go down and lose.


Stephen Coleman said (October 1, 2016):

I wish to point out that gender related pronouns are integral to Indo-european languages. Unspecific gender would make languages such as most European languages unusable unless vast grammatical changes are accepted. In other words the languages will need a total radical overhaul. I also understand that Hebrew is very gender specific.

The Austronesian language group is not gender specific, there are no masculine nor feminine pronouns. It seems that there are far more transvestites and homosexuals in south east Asia, but I don't know if language has anything to do with it. But there is no problem wondering if we should address him or her or it, it is all just "person".

Nevertheless this whole gender/language affair being pushed by the LGBT club is of utter silliness and outright stupid. If they wish let them invent a new word(s) for their own pronouns that we are free to use or ignore.

Perhaps we should do away with Germany and change it's name to Duitsland because the word Germany elicits memories of Nazis and the Holocaust?

I got called into the deans office a couple of times in the nineties for being sexist. Its nuts, I had to go along with it or get kicked out of my professional program.

Peter said below (September 29, 2016): Concerning the article about the professor, it will be interesting to see what happens when one of these people who chose their gender to be 'neither' are on trial for something and tell the judge that the court can't send them to prison because there are only men's and women's prisons. Or, that they can't stand trial because only a jury of their peers (ie. other non-gendered persons) would be legitimate jurists -

If would be great fun to do this to a judge. When I was in prison, they had a Mexican tranny and the Mexicans went ape-shit over he-she. They were so horny that even a tranny looked good. They had to remove he-she from the prison and they put he-she somewhere else.


Marco said (September 29, 2016):

God gives man a brain. Man goes to university and squanders it, filling it with Marxist drivel.

In the Soviet Union they used to kill all the highly educated cultured people... Now they just ensure that there wont be any - ever again. They do this ironically through universities, which stifle all genuine unbiased education and create Frankenstein monsters who hate humanity as the new 'cultured' people.

I understand people want to become engineers etc. But it is a travesty that in order to do so they have to go through the Hell that is a university atmosphere -
Temptation, sex, drugs, vanity, insane ideological movements, incompetent professors etc.

Why spend tens of thousands of dollars for an education at one of these places?

If you really want knowledge, look to God, grow in virtue, repent and wait for His grace... That's all man really needs... The greatest learned men in history never went to a university. But you know, I'm not one to give advice, my life is going nowhere. Maybe I should of stayed in university, but I couldn't do it because the atmosphere was too opposed to my soul.

The world is filled with these 'highly educated' University types, but the world is a disaster. When I think of these people, my mind drifts to a quote from the bible that I believe speaks about evil in the last days, and seems to portray men of this time; it says, "...always learning, never able to come to a knowledge of the truth... men opposed to the truth" 2 Timothy 3:7

I can't wait to see how this stuff plays out in the future. If the government is going to implement Bill C-16, I suggest that people turn it around and throw it into their faces by refusing to convict anyone who identifies themselves as one of the 'protected class' within the definition of C-16, regardless of what the offence is or what the judge orders the jury to do. AND, they should make sure that the courts know the reason for the acquittal.

Most of the people in the 'Trans" community actually believe that they have won for themselves some sort of 'rights' above others. They will learn very quickly that those in power will crush them like a bug if they defy the system. I can't wait to see their faces when their day in court arrives. It will be the ultimate test of what their 'rights' really are.


Al Thompson said (September 29, 2016):

The college and university institutions are places where a student goes to lose his mind. And even the thought of paying money for this is too much for the sane mind to bear. At least the professor spoke up which is something we don't see much anymore.

I'm wondering why the students don't tell the rest of the faculty to stuff it and demand their money back. The solution is relatively easy. Just stop going to these communist institutions and cut off their money.

TW said (September 29, 2016):

Reading the above article comes as no surprise to me. After throwing in the towel on my previous job where political correctness ran rampant, I became a college student and see signs of political correctness everywhere there as well.

The main difference between my work experience and my student experience is that the administration as well as professors in many of the courses purport to be independent and critical thinkers, yet all I see from them is an unwavering commitment to culturally Marxist ideas.

The most insidious part of it is that, while I'm seasoned in life and have "been around the block" enough times to know bullshit when I hear it, the vast majority of students are in their late teens and early twenties and they gobble this claptrap up essentially without thinking, since the only life experience (if one could call it that) they have is from what they see on TV and through other pop culture outlets. I have a filter that sifts out the Talmudic communist fairy tales, while the young and impressionable students do not.

This genderless pronoun song and dance that they're ratcheting up lately actually got its beginnings back whenever people began to use "they" to describe a single individual. For example - "If a customer (singular) comes into the store, they (plural) should pick up a number at the counter." The correct English usage in a case where gender is unknown to the speaker, would default to "he", but God forbid that we should use a masculine pronoun in such an instance.

That might send an ultra feminist (like Justin Trudeau, to name one) into a state of apoplexy due to the reminder of how horrible and destructive our patriarchal history is (according to the communist).

Should any reader scoff at the notion that communists have taken control of Western society, I'd advise him to take a good look at Marx's Communist Manifesto and tell us why we have adopted most of the planks in it and why we are being told how to think and what we can or cannot say.

Despite what might be aptly referred to as the velvet tyranny that continues to put the screws to us, I see little real effort in our society to countermand what the communists have imposed upon us. If people haven't woken up yet, there's no hope. We have very important matters that we should be attending to as a society, yet sexual "identity" and developing a free-for-all situation in public washrooms dominates the agenda.

Few people utter a serious peep in protest. Those who do get written off immediately as cranks or conspiracy nuts. The unholy trinity of TV, corporate world, and academia have conquered us as a people. We are a society of useful idiots, indeed.
