| Topic | Is Baby It's Cold Outside rapey? |
| scar the 1 12/08/18 5:14:51 AM #16 | A modern reading could conclude that the song is rapey, yeah. Originally it's about a woman who wants to stay but knows that society would judge her for it. The man is sensitive to this and suggests legitimate excuses. But that context isn't readily remembered by everyone, since most people who lived in that time are dead or dying. So of course people hearing it today would associate it with a bit more rapey tones. That's why it's good to talk about it, so people grow informed and their reading can become more nuanced. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

About his factual inaccuracies, like I said, this was already discussed on CE in the topic "Jordan Peterson: Nazi apologist".

For example, I can explain the logic behind why people own slaves. That doesn't make me a slavery apologist. As for him pandering to Nazis, are you saying people should ignore the reality of post WW1 Germany and pretend that WW2 era Germany just appeared out of the ether to ravage the world just so Neo Nazis don't have s***ty arguing points? There are explanations for why WW2 era Germany came into existence. That doesn't make why they did ok but there's no reason to ignore the reasons behind the things that happened.

The issue is that it's echoing literal Nazi apologia. It's the kind of obfuscation and rationalization that Hitler's proponents did back then. And since JBP "studied Hitler a lot", he knows this. So he knows exactly what he's doing and who he's appealing to when he's making those kinds of statements. They might be misguided or well-intentioned if you ignore the context. The context is that JBP is well aware that he's an alt-right Messiah of sorts, and he's well aware of what he's saying and who he's saying it to. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

Once it's written, don't they just, you know...like or dislike it? I mean, what does defending it mean? Doesn't the work speak for itself? No work of research is perfect. The purpose of the defense is to see how the candidate views the research and its importance within the field. It's also to verify that the candidate learned from the mistakes they made and won't repeat them, etc. It's essentially a very rigorous peer review. ...in some places.

I think it's worth also making some comparisons to other things people might not like to experience, but in certain situations they are going to be at greater odds of experiencing them because of the social acceptance level. This is part of the problem, though. What's considered socially acceptable is getting revised constantly, and as women start speaking up a lot of men are trying to fall back on "but it's more socially acceptable at a club" while the whole point people are trying to make is that it's really not, but women have been afraid for ages to speak up about it. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
