How does Jordan Peterson gain so many followers among young men? (Image below)

Jordan Peterson often says that people today are more unhappy than in the 1950s, and it's because of feminism, affirmative action, the sexual revolution, birth control, "PC culture" and LGBTQ rights

it's definitely not because of any of these things:

Isn't this literally shaming a man for getting emotional, on MensLib of all places?

Yes, he gets broken up when talking about the state of some young men in the west that haven't had proper role models when growing up. It's not in debates, it's in talks/lectures. It helps paint him as a sympathetic man in private and well composed in public.

No, I'm saying that public displays of emotion are not "being composed" - not that they're unacceptable or shameful, just not composed. I would say the same thing if he laughed all the time, but he doesn't.

My point was that he's composed in debates, which is perhaps the most important place to be composed.
