I just want to say that if you are/were a young man, and found some value in some of what this guy was saying to you...thats's OK. Don't feel bad, or embarrassed or mad at yourself or whatever. We are all learning all the time, and doubly so when we're young. Never think that you can't take what is useful and reject what isn't. Fuck knows there is plenty to reject about what this dude says!
I get it. I'm actually thinking of a particular friend of mine. He lost his father at 14, and his mom isn't the greatest parent. He told me Peterson was kind of exactly what he needed at a tough time in his life. Fortunately, he's always been a smart kid, and saw through the toxic shit. Five years later and he's a queer communist! I guess I'm just saying that if you really needed to hear "clean your room" from a father figure, and it helped you... don't feel bad that Peterson was the guy who filled that role at the time. Obviously I'm speaking to people who have grown to see him differently now.
