#jordanpeterson has become famous for telling people that they should be a #monster but have it under voluntary control. Like many Jordan Peterson teachings, this seems to resonate with #men and #masculinity in general. However, it's become very commonplace (particularly in the #redpill and #manosphere places) for men to use this belief as justification for expecting certain behaviors from #women they are in a #relationship with. Podcasts like #freshandfit are some of worst offenders. True, some men in the space like #andrewtate are legitimate fighters, but many of these guys probably couldn't actually fight their way out of a paper bag. Perhaps we should remain somewhat humble at least until we are actually tested. Many of us will never experience the #hardships that generations past have.
Are “tough guys” really that tough compared to previous generations?
