Defamation =/= free speech. Free speech doesn't give you the right to make up lies about someone and destroy their character
did you read the article? Kate Manne was criticizing his book, not necessarily criticizing Peterson himself... now maybe i'm wrong, but I don't think you would be successful with a defamation lawsuit in America just because you didn't like someone's book review. Regardless, it's bad optics if you're a pro free speech guy and you can't handle (probably fair) criticism of your work. It looks like this Kate Manne could probably back up what she was saying in court, and it wouldn't be a good look for Peterson. Just my thought...
