Peterson is a vocal proponent of race "science" and regressive anti-feminist social structures. He's as right as they come, and he's "alt-right" because he's devoted his career to re-framing these ideals in ways that shake off the stigma they now carry.

Where is he a proponent of "race science"? Citation needed.

And being an opponent of some of the more ludicrous off-shoots of modern feminism is not "alt-right", it's just common sense (and mainstream: for example only 9% of women in the UK consider themselves feminist[1]). And science, etc. Now I don't necessarily agree with his stances, but they are nothing if not well-reasoned and supported by data.

Which is probably why he gets so much hate.

Is this not him being a proponent of "race science"?

Can you explain why? It seems fairly clear from his own words.

Yes, to me it is very clear from his words as well.

Anyway, since you are making the claim, it would be up to you to explain what in his words is "promoting" (what a proponent does) so-called "race-science".

First, you'd probably have to define what you mean with "race science".

Why do people like to just make up stuff like this? What an absurd comment.
