Jordan Peterson's ASSERTION is demonstrably false. Their level of competence likely varies. Their level of confidence is independent of their pursuit. Amd doesn't the Dunning Kruger effect demonstrate an inverse correlation between confidence and competence? If their not competence isn't it likely that their confidence would be high? And the issue exploding into nebulous plume of semantics regarding what constitutes 'competence and confidence' for example if you look at Leonardo Decaprio he's one of the most competent actors of all time. Clearly pursuing short term mating. 4 to 5 years max. Jordan peterson believes it takes at least to years to even get to know a person and he also purports to believe that the only true consent is marriage.
Hym "So, men pursuing short term relationships AT THE VERY LEAST are unlikely to have the attributes ascribed by Jordan Peterson. If you look at professions with a high volume of groupies you see both a high level of competence and excessive short term copulation (i.e. Athletes, Musicians, Actors, ect). It just isn't the case. It's literally just a true scottsman project on to people who are fucking all of the women while ingoring entirely the women's agency in short term mating."

Get the Men pursuing short term relationships mug.Oh, what!? They're just weaponizing the term!? They're just using it completely arbitrarily to demonize their political opposition!? Wow! Boy-oh-jeez I wonder where they got THAT EXACTLY IDEA from... 🤔 HMMMMMMM.... It's a head-scratcher... God, well... I just- I just don't know! Who could they POSSIBLY have gotten THAT from.... Hmmmm...
Hym "Oh no! Wahappan? Wahappan guys? You see, it's usually the right-wingers who are the Anti-Semitisms. But now they're calling US that! What... What's going on!? I don't understand! Literally ALL I care about in life is 1. Not being a racism and or making sure other people aren't even racism-adjacent and 2. Taking money from people who have more money than me and giving it to the poor for my Robinhood fantasy! That's literally just politics is Robinhood fantasy versus The Punisher fantasy. But where did The Weaponization of the term 'Anti-Semitism' come from? Who gave them that idea? God, it's so weird! Just calling someone a phobe or a bigot just, you know, entirely arbitrarily... Who could have possibly given them THAT idea? Cus it's the right wing that is all the racisms... I don't know. Maybe write a book about it. Get the historical precedent or something because the shit-libs aren't the ones who get called Anti-Semitisms. You guys get all the Anti-Semitisms and my side is all the good people, right? That's how the team works. My team is the good one and YOU GUYS are the Anti-Semitisms. You don't call me the Anti-Semitisms cus that's not how this works."

Get the the term mug.An inverted strawman where the person denies the applicability of a term by claiming ignorance of its meaning. The classic form: someone accused of racism says "you can't call me racist because I don't even know what racism means." The move uses claimed ignorance as a shield—if I don't know the term, the term can't apply to me. The fallacy lies in treating ignorance as innocence, not knowing as not being. But actions have meanings regardless of the actor's vocabulary. Not knowing what racism means doesn't mean your actions aren't racist; it just means you're ignorant, not innocent.
But I Don't Know What This Term Means Fallacy "I pointed out his pattern of discriminatory comments. Response: 'I don't even know what racism means, so you can't call me racist!' That's But I Don't Know What This Term Means Fallacy—using ignorance as a defense. Not knowing the word doesn't mean the behavior isn't real. Ignorance isn't innocence; it's just ignorance."
