Jordan Peterson has been very critical of incels who have committed violence, but he did give an affirmative nod to incels on the Joe Rogan podcast where he echoed a talking point earlier raised by various public intellectuals such as left-wing cultural critic [[Angela Nagle]],<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbrgbK32Eug</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLNIO18sruA</ref> white nationalist [[Roger Devlin]],<ref>https://redice.tv/red-ice-radio/sexual-utopia-in-power</ref><ref>https://www.counter-currents.com/product/sexual-utopia-in-power/</ref> and American bishop Erastus Otis Haven,<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=-kdWAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA171&dq=%22Involuntary+celibacy+or%22</ref> | |||
namely that, paraphrased, "the breakdown of [[monogamy]] has strong correlation with inceldom".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsMqSBB3ZTY</ref> | |||
Peterson also claimed that the overemphasis on women is destroying male cultural drive, and that humans "die" when starved of physical touch.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRntNW3zOAg</ref> | |||
Peterson said men need status to be chosen by a woman, so a nice man has chance whatsoever, saying "they have no hope".{{citation needed}} | |||
He said, if left to their own devices, women will choose the most dominant men, which contradicts the goal of feminism of making men nicer, because it will propagate the genes of aggressive high-testosterone men. In effect, feminism makes the gentleman go extinct by removing courtship culture thus returning to a more feral sexuality.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeL-Fn0V8iU</ref> | |||
He further addressed the motivation of incel mass murders, e.g. of [[Alek Minassian]], saying, "he was angry at God because women were rejecting | |||
him. […] the cure for that is enforced monogamy. That's actually why monogamy emerges."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/18/style/jordan-peterson-12-rules-for-life.html</ref> | |||
Some female critics of fairly high academic status have in response accused Peterson of being an incel himself (which is of course impossible in the years he had his two children),<ref>https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/06/16/leftist-prof-slams-incel-misogynist-jordan-peterson-as-white-nationalist-peterson-responds</ref> in response to which Peterson threatened to sue on grounds of libel, in response to which some of them apologized for fear of legal action against them.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/06/15/jordan-peterson-lawsuit-threat-professor-incel/</ref> | |||
