Exclusive: Jordan Peterson Threatened to Sue a Critic for Calling Him a Misogynist:

Best-selling author Jordan Peterson first shot to fame by styling himself as afree-speech warrior at the University of Toronto, where he teaches psychology. Objecting to trans people’s requests that he use their preferred pronouns, Peterson said in 2016, “I don’t recognize another person’s right to determine what pronouns I use to address them.” Later, he told the BBC, “I’ve studied authoritarianism for a very long time — for 40 years — and they’re [sic] started by people’s attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory.”

But Peterson’s affection for unbounded “linguistic territory” only goes so far, it seems. In June, he threatened to sue Down Girl author and Cornell University assistant professor Kate Manne for defamation, after she criticized his book, 12 Rules For Life, and more generally called his work misogynistic in an interview with Vox.

Ou talvez não - se calhar "snowflake" só se aplica aos que tentam calar os outros pelos seus próprios meios e com risco pessoa (invadindo uma sala de conferências, p.ex.), mas já não aos que subcontratam ao Estado (ameaçando com processos judiciais, p.ex.) a tarefa de calar os seus oponentes.
