Jordan Peterson can’t release a tweet without causing the left to fly into some sort of rage, but that’s what happens when you don’t toe the politically correct line set by the outrage mob. Peterson looks like he is having fun doing and saying the things that anger the left. However, when the hatred comes at you, you may as well make it entertaining.
One of the things Peterson is doing to make it fun is turning his Twitter account into an unofficial “smash or pass” game. Previously, the good doctor set the internet on fire when he commented that Sports Illustrated’s new swimsuit model, Yumi Nu, wasn’t beautiful due to her very obvious obesity and that authoritarians attempting to force the “big is beautiful” concept on people won’t change that.

Fast forward to last Thursday and it was announced that golfer and Instagram model Paige Spiranac was named Maxim magazine’s “sexiest woman alive.” Naturally, Peterson decided to add his commentary.
“Ok,” tweeted Peterson. ” She might be beautiful.”
Ok. She might be beautiful 🙂 https://t.co/bz84d0uNti

I’m not going to post the reactions to Peterson’s tweet, but you can bet that the backlash for it isn’t pretty, so to speak. Peterson is able to attract a unique kind of anger that’s not felt by other people who criticize mainstream culture.
The thing is, as I detailed in my article about Peterson’s first dust-up, Spiranac is objectively very beautiful. Peterson isn’t at all wrong, but being a blond-haired woman with a healthy body, asymmetrical face, and large…tracts of land is likely to make those who adhere to woke culture angry, or at the very least, angry with the people who find someone like her beautiful.
The thing is, we’re biologically wired to find someone like Spiranac beautiful, and by “we” I mean both men and women. SQonline has some interesting science.
After a lifetime of being told that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” it may seem strange that beauty has an objective quality. Even science backs the theory that beauty contributes to evolutionary progress. A meta-analysis of 919 research studies found that beauty standards were relatively stable across cultures and between them, which proves that certain characteristics are universally preferable (3). A face’s attractiveness is determined by its health and beauty. Other factors include symmetry between the body and face, facial color, distance from eyes, and specific ratios. Familiar faces can also be described as attractive because they match what we see in our surroundings, particularly when it comes down to proportions ((5)).
This means that women desire to have beauty in their biological sense and men seek to find beauty with others.
Peterson, the ever-logical and scientific Peterson speaks truth. Spiranac is beautiful and thousands of years of this being confirmed by our race isn’t going to suddenly stop because the leftist mob said it should. This isn’t to say that women who don’t look like Spiranac can’t be considered beautiful. Body types vary and the vast majority of women aren’t going to achieve the sculpted and toned body of Spiranac. While some may prefer the tall, blond blonde, others might be more drawn to the petite brunette or the eccentric redhead. A toned, less slender body may be preferred by some people.
Yes, I am.
However, in the end, beauty does have a standard that it all revolves around, and modern anger isn’t going to cause instinct to disappear.
