I’ve often enjoyed the works of Jordan Peterson. Be a monster and back off from there is one of my favorite euphemisms he uses for this transitional period. The link for the Tate video is unavailable btw
Seeing a clip from the “combative” BBC interview with Tate, he is Exhibit One for the outcome of following his path. His desperate but ultimately pathetic attempts to bully and control, and his powerlessness in the face of someone unperturbed by his display, makes him collapse into an agitated, clownish meltdown.
While the concern for young women is urgent and well-placed, I’d like to see more concern for the young boys and men who follow or try to emulate Tate who get trapped into a life of pervasive shame, insecurity, emptiness and loneliness. The perceived “answer” will make matters worse for them, not better.
I’d add to Peterson’s exhortation to “Get out in the world”, by including “Relate to other people as human beings, not objects”. By following both courses, they will maturally build courage, generosity and self-esteem.
