Peterson verdict seems to please the statist feminists and the theocrats.

The biggest threats to civil liberty coming from the right are the conservative theocrats, i.e. the moralizing patriarchs. Peterson was an immoral individual whose lifestyle went against dogma of The Church: Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not covet any woman other than his wife, and shalt treat her according to the rules of the Bible. "Hand the sinner over to the State for execution."

The biggest threats to civil liberty coming from the left are the nanny statists and feminists, i.e. the moralizing matriarchs. Peterson is a man -- a man who liked to have sex with many different women -- not just one special woman he loved and valued highly. His lifestyle went against the dogma of The Liberal Elite: Thou shalt not want more than one special woman, and thou shalt treat her according to the rules of the Feminine Mystique. "Hand the sinner over to The State for execution."

Such is the danger of political ideologies which favor groups and agendas over the individual and duty: they are not concerned with any objective system of liberty and justice, only with outcomes which favor the particular group they advocate for.

As in the Kobe Bryant case - the feminists could care less about the rights of the accused. As long as the "bad man" pays the price for allegedly hurting their fellow woman, it doesn't even matter if the accused committed any crime or receives the same level of fairness and justice afforded to his accuser (whose identity was allowed to be withheld while his was trashed in the media).

It has been said that the founding fathers were geniuses who created a government to be run by idiots. But somehow I don't think the founding fathers realized how determined the "idiots" would be to hand over their freedom.
