Actually he doesn't, because his wife is deceased - something that caused him to essentially have a breakdown because instead of knowing how to work with his emotions by feeling, expressing, and processing them he was clinging to all the toxic nonsense of Man Box masculinity.

If Peterson actually cared about young men, he'd be teaching them to take deep dives into their own psyches (he is a Jungian after all) and looking at all the ways their shadow selves harm not only them, but the world around them. It's great to clean up your room, and have the trappings of taking responsibility for ones-self but if what goes hand in hand with that is blaming everyone around you that threatens your unearned position in the world, it's not very genuine. He's less inflammatory than Tate, but it's in some ways more insidious because it has the trappings of authority - even though most of the stuff he opines about he has no training or expertise in. Lobsters, anyone....
