Jordan is similar to an early Tucker Carlson in many respects with regards to women and dating, as both implied that female nature is a just/rational sorter of male character, and that it is unmanly and hence bad to complain. Tucker has turned 180 degrees on this rhetoric since his first statements, and Jordan about 90 degrees. | Jordan is similar to an early Tucker Carlson in many respects with regards to women and dating, as both implied that female nature is a just/rational sorter of male character, and that it is unmanly and hence bad to complain.

Some incels have accused Peterson of hypocrisy, e.g. because on Joe Rogan's podcast Peterson completely avoided answering a difficult question he was asked several times throughout: "If you say competition is healthy (using the basketball team analogy) then how come competition is bad when it comes to sex?"{{citation needed}}<ref>ask Jet112 where this comes from, he wrote it and I remember his saying it too</ref> An explanation could be that succeeding in the sex market is a fundamental need, whereas succeeding in the economy is not (in the absence of poverty that is). | Some incels have accused Peterson of hypocrisy, e.g. because on Joe Rogan's podcast Peterson completely avoided answering a difficult question he was asked several times throughout: "If you say competition is healthy (using the basketball team analogy) then how come competition is bad when it comes to sex?"{{citation needed}}<ref>ask Jet112 where this comes from, he wrote it and I remember his saying it too</ref> An explanation could be that succeeding in the sex market is a fundamental need, whereas succeeding in the economy is not (in the absence of poverty that is). Also enforcing monogamy does not contradict hierarchies (which he sees as necessary), but rather makes use of them. | ||
