Like every single philosopher ever, or social “thinker”, Jordan Peterson makes a lot of sense when he’s being “descriptive”, but loses me when he shifts to being “prescriptive”. It’s not just him: Marx, John Stuart Mill, Rawls, Pinker even. It’s always the answer to the question “so what do we do?” where stuff seems to fall apart.

My own hot-take on the single male question is that it’s pretty impossible to separate out that issue from a host of other sociological factors: race, upbringing, education, individual difference and choice. So I don’t consider it as important as compared to say, inequality.
