Why is it so revolutionary for people to realize that men have emotions? Of course we have the emotions! Deep ones; that our culture teaches us to repress, with great cost to women, the environment, and Society in general.
I understand how Jordan Peterson’s advice has made him so popular with young men. Hope there will be progress in this area as they learn to express themselves healthily.

I took an immediate dislike to Jordan Peterson. I may have judged him too quickly. I agree with a lot of the principles of tough love, but there’s a limit to the toughness before it becomes fascistic. I think there’s got to be a lot of love, a lot lot of love, while you are tightening the screws of adolescence rebelliousness. In my practice, parents who use toughness often get addicted to the power. With usually disastrous effect.

You have the experience of your profession – much more than mine. I like JBP’s 12 Rules as general advice for young men with low esteem.
