Small Seconds with a "Crosshair"

I agree to a point. But I dont agree that people are tired of "identity politics," I think they don't like a world where things have changed. A lot of the same people like "identity politics" just fine when it favors straight white men.
There have always been and always will be standards that communities have. Those standards are changing, in ways that people like Peterson don't like. I'd rather put emphasis on standards that welcome people that were locked out before over ones that try to keep things the way they were in the past.
I think someone who has spoken favorably about violence against women is pretty clearly over the line. It's not really a slippery slope to say that kind of thing is out of bounds.
Peterson and Hamas agree in their views of women's rights and homosexuality, in fact.
But I'm not arguing for a right to not be offended. I'm saying this forum should decide if it wants to be a place that does not consider the views of women and others, who are likely to feel unwelcome when they come across posts talking positively about a misogynist.
By all means, offend people. But then dont be surprised when they dont want to participate in forums with you, and dont be surprised when the watch community has no women in it.
