Jordan Peterson appears of late to be a shadow of the man he once was, specifically in relation to the masculine strongman who took on C16 in Canada during the late 2010s. Peterson is in an odd position as a conservative figure, yet blatantly a radical subjectivist, leading him into the peculiar stance of being a postmodern anti-postmodernist. We discuss his bouts of crying on TV, how Peterson is an odd fit with the Daily Wire, the tendency of claiming feminist talking points after we've been proved right, Peterson’s Jungian conception of god, and how his naive advice for women was reality tested by his daughter Mikhaila, yielding very poor results.

Episode 114: Political Lesbianism is Queer Politics (On Political Lesbianism pt. 2)
'Political Lesbianism' shares some characteristics with Butlerian Queer Theory, specifically: divorcing biological sex from sexual orientation, performativity, and asexuality and 'fluidity'. We discuss those and in particular 'political lesbians' criticism of butch / femme relationships that rely on the logic of transgenderism. We put forward that, would we consider a group of heterosexual men who decide not to be with women, who consider that women oppress them, deciding to live together as friends, even if it includes some same-sex dalliances, would we consider them gay men? Or straight incel male separatists?We also discuss how 'political lesbianism' scores on the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control that is used to rate 'high demand' groups (cults). Plus, 'political lesbianism' as a form of entryism in radical feminism and into lesbian groups / lesbians lives, how when you have access to people’s sexuality you have access to shame, and the 'political lesbian' concept of ‘compsex’ (compulsory sex) that renders lesbians who want to have sex with women as demonic sexual predators.

Episode 119: On Political Lesbianism pt.1
'Political lesbianism' can be traced back to heterosexual feminists of the 1960s second-wave in the United States. We discus its origin, the way 'political lesbians' change the definition of lesbian to fit themselves, the parallels with transgenderism, the nonsense concept of 'compulsory heterosexuality', denial of sexual orientation, and why due to its unpopularity a raft of euphemisms (such as 'lesbian feminist') are used instead of the term 'political lesbian' to disguise its proponents. Plus, spinsters, lifestylism as a turn away from politics, and Lesbian Nation author Jill Johnston sneaking out of women's communes for nighttime liaisons with men.

Episode 118: The Transman 'Gotcha'
Since the UK Supreme Court ruling clarifying the definition of woman in the Equality Act, trans activists have decided 'transmen' now matter and are using this tiny cohort of women to claim sex-based public toilet arrangements cannot work due to them as a 'gotcha' against the ruling. We discuss the features of the 'gotcha' and how each one fails. We also discuss the superficiality of transgenderism, how photos or TikTok’s don’t mean someone 'passes' in real life, Gendered Intelligence’s lies to 'transmen', the trans to detrans to trans attention-grift arc, and transgenderism’s fundamental relation to the Freudian / Lacanian concept of castration. Plus, we call for prosecutions for GBH and conspiracy to commit child abuse, how ‘bottom surgery’ for ‘transmen’ is the Western version of FGM, and how the gay third sector sold out gay people yet we're somehow meant to pretend we're a community.
