“What does equality mean to you”
“freedom”
boy this should be a good one

[Safestill]

“What is equality?”
“Freedom”
“Can you expand?”
“I love my job”

Why do women pressure other women to get involved in fields they are not interested in just to create gender balance, it's ridiculous

[misisDK]

I'm in STEM field for almost two decades. The company I belong to is pushing very hard with equalising men and women in our field. My company is using meritocracy in yearly employee performance evaluation for many years. Recently, with gender inclusion and equality, I've witnessed a lot of political move to promote more women. Now, as a woman, that's awesome. My problem with it though is that clearly some of the women who were being pushed for promotion are clearly not ready yet and everyone in the closed-door performance evaluation room knows it! I tried to speak out for a peer of that woman (a male) for promotion and iterated what he has done which is clearly more valuable, but I got shut down. This invalidates all the hard work of rising to the top by women like me for many years in STEM field. If I get promoted to the next level next time, now I have a doubt if its really about the good work I've done for the past year or is it just because I have female parts in between of my legs? So no, in my opinion, equalising the outcome is not good especially for those women in STEM field who tried their very best in rising to the top of their game.

"What is your definition of equality?"
"Equality is good for everyone"

Where do they find these people?

[vedantojha]

Everyone is a gangsta until Jordan calmly explain why they are not.

I love how she says "freedom" like it's a mic drop, then the host is like, "ummm how about we try again, but with a good answer this time"

[aboozerjan]

What a legend Jordan. There is never gonna be equality because we are different

[rameezk]

Jordan Peterson's patience while he's surrounded by illogical people is incredible.

[tobiasengel]

She said “we need to get more boys thinking about nursing” talk about forcing your ideology on little children for equality of outcome, and then you preach equality is freedom?

[TomH]

Imagine being the leader of the Women's Equality Party and not knowing what equality is.

[kingsleyic]

most pleasurable part of this for me was when Jordan Peterson kept quiet and stayed composed after talking, to listen to the other speakers but they still didn't make any major point to undermine or invalidate what he had said earlier . LEGENDARY

[OperationSixty]

Him: What is equality to you?
Her: Freedom
Him: Can you elaborate?
Her: I think its good for everyone

Wow so profound

[alexwheatley]

“What does equality mean to you?”
“Freedom!”
Oh for fucks sake

[phildoodler]

Jordan must feel like the sober guy at a party full of drunks.

[freiagalacar]

Men and women are equal but they are different, and those differences should be equally valued and respected.

To quote a Twitter post I saw recently:

Isn't it amazing that a man who feels he's a woman is "born this way", yet a man who knows he's a man is "a product of social conditioning and environment".

[萩原蒼也]

Never say "equality of outcome" in front of Jordan Peterson.

[TheHominidShow]

How Jordan Peterson manages to keep his cool talking to people like this will never cease to amaze me.

[ReuvenF]

I think Jordan made his point, again.
OTOH, I was impressed by what the MC said at the end:
There was actual discussion and no screaming or name calling and, although, as I said,
I think Jordan's point are more factual, the dabate was more than cordial and it was, indeed, wonderful to see.
