  3. Having lived in the left-leaning San Francisco Bay Area for a long time, Jordan Peterson’s name was not thought of highly. Not until had I recently listened to him carefully, have I gained respect for him and his work.

    In a paper I wrote this summer on “feminism” (a specific type/genre) and education, and the “feminization” of the classroom, I utilized his below University of Toronto lecture, in which he cites psychological studies that support the “biological” differences in personalities between men and women; one study includes the source of his comments that in the most egalitarian societies in the world (i.e. Scandinavia), the differences in choices between men and women are clearer and wider than in less egalitarian societies, in general (with room for exceptions, of course):

    The titles of the studies include the following:

    The Gender-Equality Paradox in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education (2018), Stoet, G. and Geary, D.

    Sex Differences in Personality Traits and Gender-Related Occupational Preferences across 53 Nations: Testing Evolutionary and Social-Environmental Theories (2008), Lippa, R.

    Gender Differences in Personality Across the Ten Aspects of the Big Five (2011), Weisberg, Y, DeYoung, C, and Hirsh J.

    Why Can’t a Man Be More Like a Woman? Sex Differences in Big Five Personality Traits Across 55 Cultures (2008), Schmitt, D., Vorack, M., Realo, A., Allik, J.

    If anyone is interested in reading these studies (unless one has access to an academic library, paywalls keep these studies from public access), I’d be happy to provide them.

    1. Thanks for posting! Nothing better than a serious collection of series science and research on any of these furball topics.

    1. Powerful. The President of the Moral Majority tells the truth. I never thought I’d witness that.
