I think you may be mixing me up with the original poster of this comment chain. I have only said that linking chaos/order to femininity/masculinity appears to have no point or meaning, not that I’m personally offended by it. In fact I don’t believe the original poster was offended either, and only said that some people are offended. You still haven’t managed to explain, at least to my satisfaction, what the point IS rather than harping on about “offence” you imagine I’ve taken. If your whole argument is that Peterson says they’re linked ‘because that’s how things are most of the time’, that is fine; I just don’t think that in itself is an interesting, original, worthwhile, or entirely correct observation, especially not when his aims are a) to provide self-help and advice or b) to provide a dull “truth is in the middle” argument. It appears, as your comments focus on, to provide much more fruitful grounds for claiming or decrying offence, rather than showing anything interesting about men, women, chaos, order, or anything else. Cheers.
