The real reason men flock to Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson

“I know this is controversial, and I'm prepared to receive a backlash for it, but it needs to be said anyways.
Everyone likes to argue that the men who flock to Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson do so because they're "lonely", "depressed" and in need of a "masculine role model". But when you think about it logically, is being lonely and depressed a sufficient requirement to endorse a sex trafficking rapist who became famous because he justifies male domination over women?
Of course it's not, it's pure BS that's sold to us to keep us (women) distracted from the real reason men and boys feel drawn to figures like Tate and Peterson: which is the fact that they tell men that as males they rightfully deserve to dominate and abuse women, to control women's choices, to blame them for their assaults, to undermine their intelligence, while they discredit the whole validity of the movement that enabled them to break away from men's control and to have more options in life than their foremothers.
Journalists can write all the think pieces they want about men needing "role models", it simply doesn't add up. History is rife with male role models and they could have taken any positive role model they wanted. But they specifically exhibit a strong preference for role models that justify patriarchal oppression and attack the very movement that stands against it.
Why? It's because this is what they are drawn to, and this is where they feel most comfortable.
What they want to hear is that as men they are inherently superior to women and deserve absolute control over them. Tate and Peterson aren't mind magicians, they don't create mindsets from a void. Their followers already had been predisposed by their own mindset and beliefs about women, Tate and Peterson only appeal to these biases.
Men are angry that they lost control over women, and this whole shit is their attempt at revenge.
