Well, no. The actions of one university is not representative of a country 'going insane'.

Rubin Report is softball, but I do really enjoy his interviews. He is pretty personable, though he does tend to lead the answers of his guests and sometimes he doesn't do his research (example: Candace Owen's and her "anti-bullying"/doxxing website). Larry King is supposedly a producer.

I read on Twitter that Lindsay apparently was vindicated... which is really surprising. Neither side likes to ever admit they're wrong. (usually)

For those who don't know/don't wanna watch the vod, she's a TA in a Canadian university, and showed a selection of clips which included Jordan Peterson, a guy who gained notoriety for not using made up gender pronouns on campus. Apparently she should have denounced this reasonable view, and her being in hot water is because she didn't.

I think he might have a case to make against the university aswell.The staff keep referring to him as “alt-right” when he’s not.He’s just a professor(a very clever one) that’s fighting Canadian law on compelled speech.This law they’ve brought in is’nt telling you what you can’t say,It’s telling you what you have to say i.e these pronouns like ‘ze’ and ‘zir’ which he sees as authoritarian.

This whole ze and zir thing really annoys me in the respect that if we all become on homogeneous gender will there still be a case for discrimination or harassment? if there is no 'he' attacked 'her' but 'zir' attacked 'zir' will it have the same impact?

I don't agree with or like the millions of selected pronouns either but I'm not sure what you're saying here otherwise... Any case of an individual attacking or harassing another individual SHOULD be viewed through gender neutral eyes. It shouldn't be seen as "worse" or "more shocking" for a man to attack a woman than for a woman to attack a man... Why would "he" attacked "her" have more impact than "she" attacked "him"? It should be totally irrelevant... The only relevant factors are the severity and the outcome.

It's a matter of prevalence... more men attack women, those statistics will fly out the window if we all became ze wouldn't they?

Try to maintain some perspective in the absence of the truth I was waiting for someone to mention that women can attack men too.. I didn't have to wait long did I?
