Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

    Jordan Peterson is really bad because the carnivore diet he promotes would starve the chud’s brain of nutrients.

      Peterson is bad because he appeals to lonely blue collar millennial men who, if they had positive male role models or better friends, would have a real chance of being actual decent people.

      Tate is bad because he appeals to young men and boys who lack the life experience to know the guy is a loser and a grifter.

      My opinion anyway.

        The harm I notice Peterson doing is setting back men’s mental health movements. A big barrier I run into working in mental health is not having enough male role models either locally in my area or public personalities online who are willing to discuss things like medication and therapy, but also to discuss the important lifestyle changes that have to be made, particularly in terms of healthy relationships. A big part of men’s mental health needs to be men supporting men instead of competing for women to then use as their sole emotional support. In addition to placing an unfair burden on women, it’s just frankly a burden that can’t and ultimately won’t be carried, leaving men with inadequate support when there’s a better solution to be had. Instead you have peterson (and others, but Peterson has a fancy psych degree to hide his bullshit behind) perpetuating these antiquated ideas that men should be competing with each other. Men deserve better.

            I run into troubled young men a lot, unfortunately. I was raised female so I often lack the context to truly empathize with their life experiences, and I’m really hurting for coworkers to consult who can.

          You know what there’s no one really doing, or not anyone that young men are following?

          Someone telling them they’ll have more prospects if they just make female friends. Not friends that they expect to one day fuck, just friends that are women. So they know how to talk to women and treat them like human beings.
