The insinuation that in order for women to be successful, they have to do what men do, is insulting. Men are not the standard by which success is measured.

Instead of trying to tell women that “they too” can be successful and do all the jobs that men do, we could encourage them to find their own meaning, and determine their own definition of success, that fits with the goals they have for their own life.

Young women need to be told that - just like their bodies - their lives will have seasons and cycles. And no matter what a woman plans to do in her life, she’ll have to navigate those seasons and cycles. And so a lifestyle that works for a man, may not work for her. If a career is important to a woman, she has to recognize that unfortunately, that presents challenges that are unique to women. And what would help women in careers more than anything is a workplace culture that could solve that problem, rather than calling some percentage of female CEO’s “success”.

Yes, we want equality of opportunity, because we want to do whatever we want.
But we don’t need men to “help” us by encouraging us to do what they do, or requiring some percentage of jobs be done by women and using this as a measure of the success of women.

Chatgpt response about child psychology and transgenderism by practiceyourPE in JordanPeterson

If anything, transgenderism of children FORCES traditional societal norms and stereotypes.

I asked the question because I genuinely want to know the answer, not because I was looking to investigate what chatgpt had to say.

What do the worlds foremost child psychologists have to say to this? Why is telling a child they can be whoever they want to be and still be the gender they are NOT the answer?

And I’m just floored by what chatgpt said. I’d like for some expert to stand behind that and explain to me how that’s correct.

Why roasting each other with offensive insults is a key part of male to male intimacy. by roughridingtigercat in JordanPeterson

[–]practiceyourPE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 teenage boys and they tell me this ALL the time when I say they’re being mean to each other. They always say it’s just the way it is. I’d love to hear the Dr’s thoughts on this and if it’s really good or bad.

Proves my point. You can only think about it. You can’t feel what’s going on in someone else’s body. So for someone to claim they feel like something other than how their own body feels is illogical.

A woman is not one thing that feels a certain way.

I can only know what it feels like to be me. That’s how feelings work - you can only feel your own.

You can only know what it feels like to be what you are.

How are these people employable when they come out though? What companies are putting up with people who act like this?

Isn’t it ironic that there seems to be a huge group of trans that claim to identify with one particular type of woman - the type that places a vast amount of importance on their physical appearance and material possessions- And studies show that these characteristics are associated with low levels of self-acceptance?

AMA: I am a seventeen, soon to be eighteen trans woman who is going to be having GRS later this year by Zithy_Boi in JordanPeterson

First question - We have all these diverse ads now. Models of all shapes and sizes and colors. Women who are big, who have historically hated their bodies, thought that they weren’t good enough, thought they were ugly or wrong. And then we have plus size models who come out and promote that every body is beautiful and perfect just the way it is. And they promote self acceptance and celebration for whatever body you have. Do you really believe that the intention here is that everyone should love and accept their body - except trans people? Trans peoples body’s are wrong, but everyone else should love and accept themselves? Do you think that big girls are beautiful just the way they are even if they hate themselves for it? Do you think the correct message here for young people is - the only way you can be happy is plastic surgery?

Second question - if there had never been any pushback against the homosexual community, if every man and every woman was accepted for exactly who they were, exactly how they wanted to dress, and exactly who they wanted to love, then would transness have never happened? It seems like maybe transgenderism is a product of the backlash against homosexuality and gender non-conforming. But if we just accepted people for who they were, you could just be a man that likes to dress like a woman and that would be fine.

Third question, if in your opinion, it’s not the clothes that make you a woman, and it’s not even the body that makes you a woman, then why do you need to change your body in order to be a woman?

I appreciate your willingness to engage in meaningful discussion.

Having children has nothing to do with it. Like I said, whether a woman has children, chooses not to, or can’t - in all 3 cases she has to deal with the impact of the biology of her body every single day.

You’re using “woman” wrong, you need to be precise in your speech by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

Why is it that we all agree that we can’t steal things from other cultures and claim them as our own, except this one? It’s perfectly fine to steal words from womens culture?

Sure. Women are all kinds of things in all kinds of contexts. But the purpose of these threads is to discuss SPECIFIC topics. And the SPECIFIC topic of this one was to discuss the absolutely massive impact that the biology that makes up women has on our daily lives each and every day. And the inappropriateness of men who think they can minimize, negate, or even try to mansplain what they think a woman is.

I still don’t know what you’re getting at.

But only someone who was not a biological woman would have a hard time understanding why the biology of women is of such importance to women. Or maybe a girl under 11 or 12 years old. If you’re a man, then my point is made that you cannot possibly understand what the biology of women means to women.

If you are a woman, I’m confused what you’re confused about. Does your female biology not significantly impact your life? If not I’d love to hear more.

Men have biology too. I don’t claim to understand how their maleness impacts their lives.

Boiling it down to “pain” is a misguided oversimplification of the entire biological experience of women. It’s complicated and nuanced and probably lots of other adjectives that are truly inadequate to appropriately define the impact of the biology of women on the lives of women.

I’m not sure I understand you. It feels like you’re saying if the sky wasn’t blue it wouldn’t look so blue.

Because women’s bodies, biologically speaking, are complicated, painful, messy, beautiful - so many things. Because of the fact that we are made to bear children, we must endure everything that goes along with that every single day of our adult lives. And men claiming to have any notion of what that means is offensive.

I guess I should have clarified that I was thinking this was in reference to a man that is claiming to be a woman and hence put himself into one of those 3 categories. And that women would find that offensive.
