Snip-"Jordan Peterson
Alongside Tate, the conservative Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is one of the more established names seen to be promoting sexist and anti-feminist ideas on YouTube as part of the manosphere though he has denied being a misogynist.He has 8.64 million subscribers to his account, which advocates against gender equality and in favour of traditional roles on the grounds that men and women are fundamentally different. He has also argued that trans activism is sexist and delusional, as well as a denial of science.
Debbie Ging, a professor of digital media and gender at Dublin City University, said her recent study of toxic masculinity noted that he advocates traditional masculine values of courage, self-discipline and order as an antidote to the alleged chaos and narcissism of woke modernity.Another recent study suggested that Petersons popularity had contributed to the rise of boys and men who believe that feminism has done more harm than good.
Peterson has said in a video that the Andrew Tate phenomenon is a result of Tate becoming a voice offering forthright aggression as an alternative to cringing defeat, a perspective which he said he had sympathy for, although he added he was not particularly impressed by some of Tates work."
