Yep. The interviewer's style is something akin to this:
Peterson: "Since they are human beings, women are mortal."
Interviewer: "So you're saying that all women should be murdered."
That is only a slight exaggeration of what she was doing. He would say something, then she would respond with "So you're saying...(some hot-button statement totally unrelated to what he actually said)".
I give him a lot of credit for remaining calm through that.

- supreme_sublime 9y ago"Intellectually challenging" that wasn't intellectually challenging for him in the slightest. Having someone constantly misrepresent you isn't "challenging". Challenging is when someone understands what you are saying, follows your line of logic and arrives at a conclusion you weren't expecting. He simply knew he was interacting with a person who bought into a certain worldview and figured the best way to show her how she was wrong was by being a bit light hearted, but showing he wasn't a pushover either.
