Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. He is also known for his books, lectures, and speeches on topics such as personal responsibility, individualism, and the psychological and cultural differences between men and women.
While some may disagree with his ideas, there is no denying the positive impact he has had on young men. I dare say, young men who have fallen through the cracks without a support network.
One of the ways Jordan Peterson is helping young men is by encouraging them to take responsibility for their lives. In his lectures and writings, he often talks about the importance of personal responsibility and how it can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. He encourages young men to set goals, work hard, and take risks, even if it means facing temporary setbacks or failures.
However, mainstream media takes his lectures to another level. They equate him with something called the alt-right (a term I’ve yet to get a definitive definition for) and often prop Peterson up as someone promoting hate and bigotry. Peterson does neither.
Another way Jordan Peterson is helping young men is by providing them with guidance and mentorship. He has a large following of young men who see him as a role model and mentor, and he often shares personal anecdotes and advice on how to overcome common challenges faced by young men today. He also encourages young men to seek out positive male role models and to form supportive communities with other men who share their values.
Jordan Peterson is also helping young men by encouraging them to embrace their masculinity. In a culture that often demonizes traditional masculine traits like strength, assertiveness, and competitiveness, Peterson argues that these traits are not inherently bad and can be channeled in positive ways. He encourages young men to develop their strengths and to take pride in their masculinity, while also recognizing the importance of empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence.
Peterson is famous for saying, “Men are capable of great good and great evil, and it’s important to acknowledge that potential for darkness within us. The goal is not to eliminate that part of ourselves, but to learn how to control it and channel it in positive ways.”
Be a monster, but learn how to control it. That statement has absolutely nothing to do with what feminist call ‘toxic masculinity.’ I’ve never seen masculinity that was toxic. I don’t think it even exists. What does exist is a lack of masculinity that can often bring about undesired events when men have a hard time coping and channeling aggression from a lack of masculine role models.
Finally, Jordan Peterson is helping young men by challenging them to think critically and to question the prevailing cultural narratives. He encourages young men to develop their own worldview and to be willing to engage in respectful and constructive dialogue with those who hold different opinions. He also reminds them that life is not easy, and that it is through facing challenges and overcoming adversity that we grow and develop as individuals.
Jordan Peterson is doing a great deal of good for young men. He is providing them with guidance, mentorship, and encouragement to take responsibility for their lives, embrace their masculinity, and think critically about the world around them. While some may disagree with his ideas or approach, there is no denying the positive impact he has had on countless young men who have been inspired by his message of personal growth, self-improvement, and individualism.
Society needs men to be men. Not subservient betas who apologize for being born male. Feminist like to push the ‘sisterhood of victimhood’ mentality.
