Jordan Peterson: This is, I think, one of the massive weaknesses on the left. We know through our empirical studies, that people who lean toward political correctness say, are extraordinarily high in trait agreeableness. And agreeableness is a big five trait; that is one of the standard personality traits. It is basically associated with maternal compassion. Well, maternal compassion works really well, if you are a mother dealing with children. It means to be kind to everyone. And kind is "kin", right, the word is derived from the word kin.
Treat everyone as if they are members of your family. Well, OK. Treat everyone like they are suffering children. No! Wrong, wrong! You've taken the virtue so far at that point, that it flips on you and becomes a vice. Women cannot treat men like they're suffering children; it'll turn them into suffering children or they will end up with a suffering child as a man. Or they'll devour their boys as they grow up by oversheltering and overprotecting them.
Stefan Molyneux: I don't think it is a huge accident that a failure to distinguish qualities between cultures combined with the rise of political correctness has risen at the same time as the birthright among women, of course in the west, has fallen. The maternal instinct will find a way, and if it does not have a direct object it may spread to a much wider conceptual base, that is dangerous.
Jordan Peterson: One of the things that my psychologically knowledgeable friends and I always laugh about, is that the very social justice warriors who refuse to admit to the existence of biological, say psychological differences between men and women act out their femininity in an absolutely stereotypical manner in their political behaviour, because they are doing exactly what you just said. They are acting out their maternal behaviour what they do and you might think, well that's good because maternal behaviour is all kind and wonderful.
No, no, no it is kind and wonderful if you are the oppressed victim that is being protected. But if you are the person who is tossed into the dangerous predator category, which would be anyone who is seen as a threat to the suffering infant, then you'd better look out, because there is nothing more vicious than a mother who thinks her infants are being threathened.
It breaks the world into two categories right away. Innocent victims - because there is nothing more innocent and victimized than a baby. Like, no matter what a baby does, it is innocent. And no matter what threathens a baby, it's a predator. And that is reasonable; that is actually true. But when you start to divide the world up like that *politically*.. Jesus, you'd better watch out.
What we are seeing, perhaps for the first time in history, is what a female totalitarianism would look like.
