The Time Jordan Peterson Supported Pedophiles

Shocking statements, and very counterintuitive! Just what we expect from a “courageous truth-sayer” like Peterson. Problem is, what he’s saying isn’t true. The paper he cites was full of biases, data collection errors, and leading questions. Why is this? Because it was influenced by and had many direct links to pedophiliac groups, outlets, and activists, as this highly appreciated piece points out. This is exactly how abusers behave to justify their behavior, while the survivors are left being gaslit and confused by society, learning to suppress their righteous emotions of rage, sadness, and desperation.

If it has to be said (and sadly, I’m sure it does) and linked, here (and countless other sources, if you the stomach to google) detail the devastating effects of childhood sexual abuse on mental health. It also probably needs to be said that the response (minute 30+) of an in-denial, traumatized and Trump-supporting narcissist like Milo Yiannopolous doesn’t really count for a reliable source. Milo, by the way, has also come under fire for claiming that sexual relations between men and 13 year old boys is perfectly consensual. Since his public outreach through Breitbart was being threatened, he later retracted that view, saying it was a way to cope with his own trauma.
