To everyone on the left concerned about men finding @jordanbpeterson appealing - what's *your* answer?
Do you have something to say to young men besides labelling them the enemy and pathologizing them?
Once you figure this out, a healthy debate will ensue.

I think we can like and respect men as the decent members of society that they generally are and still wish none of them were drawn to strange, socially conservative woo about Jungian archetypes and bible stories. I recently said this to a young man about it.pic.twitter.com/yZZrq73RVu

I totally agree, but we need a more compelling alternative. Very few frameworks on the left see young men as anything but the enemy, or a creature born with the worst kind of original sin known, born sick but commanded to be well, whose nature is a disease to overcome.

Most of the lefties I know do not see men this way at all. But then, we’ve been doing a lot to help them understand moral luck and the social conditioning behind reified gender norms.

We are talking about men generally, not aggressors and oppressors. No-one suggesting placating them.

You’re talking about men that find JBP appealing.

Not necessarily. We're talking about what else is out there giving men something that feels good & noble to live up to. Also, much as I dislike Peterson's ideas, you'll not find that men who like him have the same values either or that they're aggressors and opppressors!
