«Breaking News» Cambridge University withdraws fellowship of Jordan Peterson over fury at his gender stance

Cambridge University have pulled their offer of a fellowship for the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson after fury at his gender stance.

The academic - who has more than a million followers on Twitter - rose to prominence when he challenged Canadian legislators by refusing to refer to trans people by their preferred pronouns.

He is openly anti-political correctness and believes that men are as much the victim's of gender discrimination as the perpetrators of it.

The University of Toronto professor caused backlash at Cambridge this week when he announced he would be visiting the Faculty of Divinity for a series of lectures.

Jordan Peterson at the Cambridge Union last November, today the students' union welcome the Faculty of Divinity's U-turn on inviting him to give a series of lectures

Clare and King's College at Cambridge - the students' union wrote today: 'His work and views are not representative of the student body and as such we do not see his visit as a valuable contribution to the University'

Cambridge swiftly backtracked, with the faculty tweeting: 'Jordan Peterson requested a visiting fellowship at the Faculty of Divinity, and an initial offer has been rescinded after a further review.'

One person commented, 'Good. The offer should never have been made in the first place.' 

Mr Peterson has made constant arguments of the dangers of barring freedom of expression at academic institutions.

Cambridge University's Students' Union wrote on Facebook: 'When we refer to Peterson's views not being representative of the student body, we refer directly to his history of actively espousing discriminatory views towards minority groups, not to academic freedom.'

Their statement continued: 'It is a political act to associate the University with an academic’s work through offers which legitimise figures such as Peterson.

'His work and views are not representative of the student body and as such we do not see his visit as a valuable contribution to the University, but one that works in opposition to the principles of the University.' 

Mr Peterson's '12 Rules for Life' rapidly became an Amazon bestseller and his recent explosive interview with Channel 4's Cathy Newman became a viral sensation.

He has argued widely against what he describes as 'cultural Marxism' which he believes seeks to look at people as oppressed through the lens of a power structure which permeates all aspects of life.

Mr Peterson has become an unlikely global superstar for his refusal to bow to the mainstream views on trans people

Mr Peterson's lectures on psychology - in particular the peer reviewed study of the differences between men and women - were his most popular and catapulted him to stardom.

But Mr Peterson has been called highly controversial and attracted criticism for statements he has made about feminism, trans people and race.

He has referred to the concept of white privilege as a 'Marxist lie.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
