'Not beautiful': Peterson's tweet sparks fury (NEWS.com.au)

A controversial psychologist and best-selling author has sparked outrage after declaring a Sports Illustrated model “not beautiful”.

“The cure for that is enforced monogamy. That’s actually why monogamy emerges.” Couldn’t you just keep it to yourself?,” added another woman. Dial it back a bit homie,” one man wrote.

Thin-skinned Jordan Peterson is wrong about everything but right ... (The Guardian)

The academic has quit the platform in a huff after he was criticised for calling the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Yumi Nu 'not beautiful'

What makes Peterson’s aversion to criticism extra hilarious is that one of the rules in his famous book is “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world.” Peterson’s own house, alas, is a complete mess. One rule for public life in the modern age – certainly one that every woman in the public eye has discovered – is that you have to develop a very thick skin. There was the infamous time, for example, when the Indian essayist Pankaj Mishra accused Peterson of peddling “ fascist mysticism”. Peterson, in turn, called Mishra an “arrogant, racist son of a bitch” and proclaimed: “If you were in my room at the moment, I’d slap you happily.” “The endless flood of vicious insult [sic] is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else,” Peterson tweeted on Monday, “If I have something to say I’ll write an article or make a video. If Twitter had been around during the age of enlightenment we’d presumably have had Immanuel Kant furiously leaning over his keyboard typing: “the Queen of Prussia is NOT hot. For now, however, he wants us all to know that Twitter is a hellhole which makes your life infinitely worse.

But Peterson pushed his dramatic perspective too far when posting a Sports Illustrated cover of Yumi Nu, a conventionally attractive model boasting thick thighs, and declared the photo to be an example of “authoritarian tolerance,” for some reason. After all, Western civilization isn’t going to defend itself - there are beauty and gender norms being challenged every day! Peterson, famous for decrying the youth of today as hyper-sensitive snowflakes, took great offense at being the subject of online mockery.

The web is a scary place, and you often find other people in your business no matter what you do. There was a fair share of “health” advocates who also seemed to have a problem with the model’s appearance. Before Jordan Peterson let his followers know that he was leaving the platform, he did try to “educate” those who questioned his morality.

If the issue is not important enough to justify that then perhaps it would be best to just let it go,” he wrote. “I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again. Couldn’t you just keep it to yourself?” one user tweeted.

The marketplace of ideas — People like Peterson are enamored with the idea of the free market serving as a great, democratizing force. Beauty is subjective and everyone has their own preferences, so I guess Peterson is free to be uninterested in Nu, but describing her appearance in a swimsuit-focused magazine issue as an example of “authoritarian tolerance,” is hilariously dumb. A prominent fixture on the cultural right, Peterson has been relatively quiet over the past two years, but recently assumed the position of daily Twitter bozo this week after weighing in on the physical appearance of Yumi Nu, a cover model for the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

I never dreamt of this because I didn’t know that I could,” she wrote in the caption. “I don’t even know why you girls bother at this point,” she mouthed, as she faced the camera and shared a screenshot of Peterson’s tweet. Shortly after posting his tweet about Nu, Peterson explained that he stopped using Twitter weeks ago and instructed staff to post on his account.

It's a thought," one wrote. Nu, on the other hand, appears to be unbothered. "So I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again.

And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that," he wrote.
