Honestly I don't believe any word he says
Aside from the diet thing which I also think is questionable, everything else you said is propaganda about a guy who doesn't take the "acceptable" position on some issues. I'm curious if you have actually listened to him in complete context or just read your acceptable publications versions of what he says. Might I recommend finding his interview on the Rubin Report podcast?11 -

It's impossible to say anything negative about Peterson without people jumping up and insisting you need to understand the "context" of what he's saying. I've listened to/watched whole podcasts and interviews, am I allowed to think he's got a problem with women?
It's so bizarre to talk about "acceptable publications" and then turn around and suggest we listen to a specific podcast so we can truly comprehend what Peterson is saying. If his views are so fragile that they are inherently warped by any exposure to them outside of welcoming podcasts and publications, that may be a problem with his communication style. At what point is someone responsible for his words?21 -

If you have actually listened to the guy and that is the conclusion you come to then, of course, you are allowed to think that. I happen to disagree, which is also okay. I was following up to two people who made blanket statements about the man - particularly the whole "white man" angle to it which imo immediately makes the person saying it an idiot.
Generally, people who talk like that only listen to specific kinds of media. I like and recommend the Rubin Report because I find his interviews to be a good representation of what people believe without resorting to talking points. Also, Rubin is by no means a conservative and therefore perhaps a proper middle ground forum.

Just an FYI, namecalling fellow users because they disagree with you is probably not going to be consistent with forum guidelines.
When it comes to Rubin, I get this from a bio on his website: "He now feels that the modern left has lost its way . . . "
His guests are people like Jordan Peterson, John Kasich, Roseanne Barr, John McCain, Ben Shaprio, and John Stossel and he has stated his willingness to vote for Trump in 2020. He describes Trump as a "moderate." I think it's a stretch to say that he is "by no means a conservative." At the very least, he's an opponent of the left (he describes himself as such) and uses his show to elevate and promote conservative voices. If that seems like a middle ground to you, I think that speaks volumes about where you're currently standing. Since he's currently touring with Peterson on his popular speaking tour, touting this guy as an impartial arbitrator seems inaccurate.13 -

Have any evidence to back this up?
Hard to believe you've listened to a word he said.7 -
Hey folks - I don’t really see any discussion involving Jordan Peterson not turning divisive. Closing this down before it gets going further.5
