Canada's Professor Dr. Jordan Peterson is a lightning rod for far-left ideologues. For most, he is a target for name-calling because that's what people do when they cannot win an argument intellectually. Peterson's logical, even brilliant observations and conclusions frustrate liberal extremists no-end. Consequently, like the intellectually bankrupt foreign minister, they resort to adolescent behaviour.

I love irony and this situation presents some very delicious irony. You see, Sweden's far-left loonies see themselves as being far above the rest of us who are not extreme liberal ideologues. In their pride and arrogance, however, they don't seem to have noticed that their behaviour is strikingly like that of Donald Trump. What they think of Donald Trump and the realization that they are behaving in exactly the same manner should be a wake-up call. But nothing wakes up a far-left ideologue, nevertheless, it is delicious irony!

Sweden’s Foreign Minister has issued a rather undiplomatic request to Canadian academic and internet sensation Jordan B. Peterson, thrilling a Stockholm audience by expressing her desire to see him fade from the public eye.

Speaking on a “pro-women” panel in Sweden’s capital on Wednesday, Margot Wallström said that Peterson should "crawl back under the rock he came from,” adding that she "can't grasp why people waste so much time on that man." The snide remarks were reported by local media that covered the event.

Peterson recently visited Sweden to promote the international release of his new book, '12 Rules For Life, an Antidote to Chaos.’ The book has been slammed by the left as conservative snake oil and an affront to feminism.

Wallström is one of the leading forces behind Sweden’s so-called “feminist foreign policy.”

Sweden has a feminist foreign policy? Crazy! It was Sweden who allowed more unvetted Muslim migrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, per person, than even Germany. One of the consequences has to do with a dramatic increase in the sexual abuse of Swedish women and girls at the hands of migrants. Then they keep these incidents as quiet as possible so the girls are not aware of the dangers of being around migrant men. Is there a feminist policy there, somewhere?

Peterson became an overnight sensation after creating a series of YouTube videos in which he decried the Orwellian nature of Canada’s Bill C-16, which he said would force Canadians to use gender-neutral pronouns. The clinical psychologist has since become a widely followed lecturer, making a number of meme-famous appearances on television.

Peterson, who maintains an active and often combative Twitter account, has apparently not yet responded to Wallström’s fighting words.

And, he is not likely to. An adolescent act is not deserving of any response by a mature person.
