Margaret Hoover

My notes on Margaret Hoover, political commentator are shared below. I have some notes on her, perhaps that I jotted down from an interview that she conducted with Jordan Peterson. Here is what I believe that she said: "Men today are angry and confused by their loss of status, no longer the supreme gender so much. Cisgender white males are anxious, depressed, angry and feel lost and left behind by what they deem to be an evil revolution by women and Progressives that have passed them by. They keenly feel this loss of power and privilege as white males." My response: It is true that males, especially white males, feel left behind and reduced in status and respect here in America. Jordan Peterson is offering all young adults, but mostly young white men, a renewed sense of manly worth as they are finally encouraged by someone to become powerful, feisty, assertive, taking-charge and competent. This is not seeking white supremacy but revenge upon women, nor is it an attempt to reinstitute a corrupt patriarchy. Rather, young men need to be proud of themselves, and to go for it and make something of their lives. I would go farther than Jordan and urge them to individuate. Then their powerful, loving and competent presence and love in the world would make a huge difference to reverse the sagging fortunes of society. This need not be anti-feminism, or anti-any identity group. We do not build up those groups by tearing down men, especially white men. No one is to be torn down or discouraged going forward.
