[DISCUSSION] Weekly Discussion Wednesday - "Boys and men have been told from birth on to believe that at some point they must be violent, to prove that they are men"

In the first 30 seconds, Peterson both encourages men to be “competent and dangerous” and says criticizes the young men that commit mass shootings as weak. In the above passage, bell hooks reveals how contradictory that is and how the the need to be competent and dangerous leads to mass shootings. They’re the same side of the coin.
I don’t find Bell Hooks explanation satisfactory either.
Peterson is a jackass but regurgitation of some of the same superficial 90s feminism (which hasn’t actually helped the issue of violent young men) is also something to be critiqued.
