Not really.
All I got is that she has a deep dislike for Jordan Peterson. The first sentence of the article contains an egregious falsehood. Then it descends into hate filled spite.
I'll admit I don't know much about Jordan Peterson except that he once tried to use lobsters to explain some aspect of human behaviour which means he is probably wrong about a lot of things. A thoughtful critique of his ideas would be excellent. This is not it.
-
Have to agree with jeremy here - I stared reading it this morning but gave up part-way. Seemed to me more of an ad hom than a critique of ideas.
-
I saw something of hers the other day where she said someone had Lego hair and at that point I gave up. Ad hom seems to be her thing and makes her difficult to read, which is a shame as she makes some good points.
-
I usually enjoy Hyde, as she is enjoyably catty. However, I find Peterson so boring that I couldn't get through it. Possibly, they picked the wrong columnist to do this.
-
I think it depends on her target. Catty isn't satire.

Ms Hyde is something of a super-bitch, but she is witty, which redeems her.
