Damore’s girlfriend has agreed to meet only after being assured that, like her, I disagree with her boyfriend’s views.

But it was Jordan Peterson, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, who seems to have been particularly influential.

“You’re a misogynist and a terrible human,” one colleague emailed him. “I will keep hounding you until one of us is fired. gently caress you.”

Psychiatrists, he says, assured him “it didn’t matter”. Yet one incident around that time suggests otherwise. Damore was on a two-day retreat for PhD students, which involved an annual tradition of inviting students to perform skits that lightly poked fun at professors. Damore’s performance included an awkwardly delivered masturbation joke that offended some female students. Two professors later wrote to students apologising for the “uneasiness, embarrassment or offense” he had caused. Damore still finds it hard to see why his skit was objectionable, but accepts he may view it differently, “because I’m on the spectrum”.

i wonder if these guys think it makes their insults are more scathing when they induce confusion in their targets

"oh, you don't know what a soyboy beta cuck bugman is?? let me break it down for your puny irrational libtard brain..."

and then they try it outside the internet and everybody stares at them like they're from space because they're speaking in some strange language not used by normal humans

He sounds like an actually autistic guy who is actually also a giant douchebag who thinks that his failure to understand why something might be offensive is evidence that the thing is, in fact, not offensive, and who thinks that his deficits in social skills is evidence that social skills are stupid, rather than at some point realizing that he should LEARN SOME GODDAMN SOCIAL SKILLS.

Signed, an autistic person who has spent her life acquiring social skills, because women are generally forced to in order to function in life

p sure he's 100% not autistic but maybe just should get a diagnosis of "rear end in a top hat who is set in his ways and prefers not to explore why every social interaction goes wrong" and then he can get fired into the sun unless he realizes that people dont like being ahe jnrraj ar jaryj asr a

Speaking of which: Is Jordan Peterson the stupid man’s smart person? yes

Surely a concerned student, or parent (I note Jordan Petersonny-don’t go-away-I-am-here-all-alone’s oft-expressed concern about overprotective parents is suspended when the terrifying prospect of ANT208, “Medical Anthropology: an Evolutionary Perspective on Human Health,” hoves into view) need only enter the name of the professor teaching a course.

I also think that autistic guys are extra susceptible to buying into lovely sexist stereotyping, because they are more likely to learn social skills from media (where they are clearly spelled out) than from human interaction (which is confusing and difficult), and the media they consume is full of toxic patriarchal bullshit. Especially if it's anime.

No, but being a shitlord who is autistic seems to make you more likely to be this particular TYPE of shitlord, as opposed to something else.

Presuming he's autistic (not a guarantee); he's a shitlord who's blaming his shitlordliness on his autism, which is a real shitlord move, not an autistic move.

Ever since Rain Man, people have conflated Math, Autism, and Assholishness. The result has been that assholes who are marginally better at math than most claim to be be autistic to justify their rear end in a top hat behavior. Since most people suck at math, this allows a preponderance of sub-par mathletes to wallow in their lazy bigotry and claim it's unrecognized genius.

gently caress this guy and his irregular face.
