this quote was posted in the jordan peterson sub and it was largely ignored but the little attention it received was quite hostile: https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanPeterson/comments/ax42xd/young_men_who_are_overpowered_by_their_mothers/

"troll post", "mentally ill", "bad attempt at objectivism"

i like peterson, and i think he offers a lot of hands-on solutions to the puer problem (without directly naming it), but jesus christ, the quality of that sub reddit has declined so much over the years. such a quote would've been appreciated 2 years ago, for sure. but now the only guys who respond are people clearly afflicted by this complex, who must deny deny deny
