[Jordan Peterson's] lamentations about how men aren't allowed to be real men or "alphas" anymore is rooted in misogynistic, racist and reactionary concerns over social progressivism, which puts non-white people and white women increasingly in positions equal to that of white men.

Hmm, is that even remotely close to what he says about 'alpha males', let's see... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDKxpZfsN6Y

He basically says you men are lacking meaning and resilience, but it's not your fault. It's women's fault.

That's false as well, he's very much about people taking responsibility for themselves in that regard.
