As women, we MUST stand with men against what’s being done to them in “our name”. They don’t speak for me, and I had an amazing male role model in my grandfather. I cannot be fooled, men are heroic and amazing and not acknowledging them as such is nothing short of a mortal sin. Of course there are good people and bad people in every gender, but that doesn’t mean we can prey on the so-called “strong” without acknowledging their sacrifices to raise us, protect us, fight for us and not be like some men in the middle-east who consider women as half a man while our men fought for our rights with us. They fought to their death for our freedom and equality, not for us to get “revenge”.

When I first got into boxing, I loved the training but couldn't get my head around the respect thing. I thought the coach was a prick for coming down hard on me to stop messing around or fighting with some of the lads. And even led to a few confrontations between us. I found it difficult to adjust because until that point I'd never had any positive intervention in my life. Just getting in trouble with authorities or neglected by the ones who are meant to shape you. That is why I had built up a defence and a bad attitude towards everyone. But I am glad I swallowed my pride. Today, my coach is one of the most important people in my life. It took a while but I understand that he was trying to mould a better version of me and respect was a big part of that. Not just my respect for him but respect for myself. Boxing has since become a big part of my life and its help me improve my physical and mental health. I've made great friends through it and it even gave me the confidence to pursue my professional ambitions and get a long term girlfriend. I love this sport.

When people read the Beatitudes, and they read 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth', they often don't understand that the work 'meek' is translated from the Greek work 'praus' , which was a description of wild horses that had been tamed, and could be used in battle. The idea of it being 'wild strength under control for a higher purpose'.

Seriously, just check their government webpages... they don't talk about that when they call it an the Bastion of independent journalism and reporting. That said, it doesn't meant that every single thing they publish is necessarily policed or vetted to fit their agenda (in a sense), but generally their agenda is roughly that of the government, even if they seem to oppose the government (or play along in the left vs right pantomime) on certain generally minor issues.

From the gov UK world service page: "The BBC World Service (BBCWS) is the world’s leading international radio broadcaster, providing impartial news reports and analysis in English and 27 other languages. BBCWS is a public corporation of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office." Says a lot.

This format is so different from what I've seen before. I really enjoyed it.

There is a show on SBS in Australia called, ' Insight'. This format is very similar; I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this interview style was drawn from that programme.

My heart is so soft & swollen right now. So much love for the Doc & these lads ♥️

To any Peterson detractors: how many times have you gotten “thanks for helping” from strangers? Leftists slapping each other on the back in echo chambers doesn’t count.

There's just something about the way these guys conduct themselves. I have a feeling that every man in that room would be exactly the type of person you call on when you need real help. As an aside, this is the type of content I don't mind my licence fee going on.

Just wanted to say i'm glad theres still good people in the BBC not ideologically possessed. You set this talk up with no bullshit,just an honest frank discussion with emotions not hidden. Its exactly what it needed to be-no virtue signalling,no fake moral grandstanding,no patronizing "men have no problem due to patriarchy" bullshit. If we simply had more of THIS then society can start coming together again.

+English Teacher seems to me he may have found some hope. Your take on things, I'm sure, is appreciated and ingested with a grain of salt. Do try and look for things around you to help uplift and encourage you.

I’m a socialist and I’m fond of post modernism. So I’m not really someone Peterson is a big fan of, but I still understand his concerns. I like a lot of his work on psychology and Jungian myth/narrative analysis. When it comes to politics, he can come off hyperbolic when discussing the left, but his sincere concerns seem real. He’s making similar criticisms that plenty of leftists have made. Chomsky, Orwell, Zizek, and even a lot of the Marxist authors over at the Zero Books publication. I think the neo-liberals complete dismissal of him as some “incel supporting pseudo academic” is about as ignorant as when the right calls anyone to the left of Ron Paul a Marxist. Despite my heavy disagreements with Peterson, I think he’s helping plenty of people. He has fans of all walks of life and I’ve seen people who’ve reunited and fixed relationships with their family and friends because of him. Ignore some of the hyperbolic nonsense and realize he’s helping people get their lives together. He’s not your enemy.

Eagle 4 I can’t argue that. Libertarians are right from that point of view. I just tend to disagree with it. It’s no wonder I get along with Libertarians more than leftists. A lot of socialists are insufferable. Mainstream Liberals and Conservatives are also annoying. I’m more a fan of the principled Marxists over at Zero Books and the principled Libertarians over at AntiWar. Both of those communities are against the Puritan moral arguments of the whiny social justice types and religious fundamentalists. I think those two groups should talk more often, they have a lot of overlap. They both are against war and mass incarceration. They both hate the war on drugs in general. There needs to be more discussion between non moralistic principled people.

I really feel that my license fee was well spent supporting this. Such a positive message for people about overcoming negativity with meaning and purpose. Those young men are a credit to themselves and big respect for their mentors, the presenter and Jordan Peterson for putting that together. Love it. More please.

Professor, this is amazing. Good bunch of lads. Keep fighting, keep training boys.

Very honest, open, candid, and courageous talk by these young men👍🏿 Also, just to point out an observation: the quality, tone and affect of the dialogue of this discussion is very different from some online “men’s rights groups”, “mgtow”, etc., which are underpinned by a lot of hatred and resentment. I hope people can see this distinction, and make the right choices. I also wish more spaces such as the ones created in the video above, could be devoted to help young men grow and develop.

Yeah definitely, I think a lot of the online male response to the problems laid out in this video have been as wildly off the mark as much of the fruitier ends as feminism. This is the format that you change systems, you don't blame others, and you DEFINITELY don't blame groups of others. Work at becoming a better version of yourself, don't be afraid to seek guidance, anger is a short term solution to a long term problem. This was a remarkably positive video.

Most MGTOW type groups are misogynists and lonely bitter men with anger and resentment at women and society, some factions are legitimate as Cassie Jaye’s redpill documentary showed. Of course there are issues and obstacles for boys and men as there are for women, some overlap, some are unique to either sex. The key is to address cause and effect regardless of who it is and any political ideology

There wouldn't be so much resentment and anger if feminists and the like hadn't gone out of their way to shut down any challenge to their ideologies. I'm glad society seems to be waking up, but don't blame those who have had to endure the wilful blindness and hypocrisy for being angry about it.

Man to man conversation, so good to see people talk and they engage with such positive impact, Jordan Peterson is a gem in today's society who gives the right thing in right way.Look forward to see more and more such heartily talks.

Its good to see Peterson actually doing what he wants to do without political conflict becoming a part of it... And, I'm blown away that the BBC are involved.

This is spectacular.

im only 17 minutes in and i absolutely love this. i ended up on this video by chance and it's actually exactly what ive needed to hear the past few years. i hadnt been to school since i was 13 due to mental health issues, at 16 i tried college but it was too much at the time because i rushed into it and hadnt properly prepared like i should have. im turning 19 next month and i dont even have any gcses, but ive been feeling more positive about things and this is exactly what i needed to give me that little boost. as a female, i really hope a lot of others see this, not just men, because these are words that everyone needs to hear, even if theyre already thriving, they can always benefit from simple, yet impactful words like these. finding this was a brilliant surprise to my morning, thank you

This video is absolutely inspiring. The folks who give so much of their time and energy to offer encouragement and direction to kids in their communities are nothing short of heroes. Honestly, I'd begun to believe that BBC had completely gone down the rabbit hole but it seems there are still amazing people there who have their eyes on the ball and it gives me much needed hope that things can get better. Imagine how many more young men could access more fulfilling ways to live if there were more who genuinely cared and reached out to them. Thank you Nihal Arthanayake and Jordan Peterson for showing us that there is a way forward and that individual effort can produce amazing results. I am not religious, but I can't help remembering words of an old song, attributed to Jesus - "I will make you fishers of men", and that's exactly what the people running that gym are doing - saving young men from hard lives, one at a time.

Jodan peterson is so inspiring to me....

I have listened to a lot of your lectures and presentations, I even went to see you when you were in Cincinnati and month ago, but this one of the most important videos I’ve heard. This shows real life situations that the fundamental that you are teaching regarding accepting responsibility and having goals provides a way out of chaos. I feel privileged to listen to the young men find there way….yes, life can be hard, but they have found a way out.

THIS is so touching - heart touching, uplifting... to see these young men finding their way almost brings a tear to my eyes, because in the work I did for many years, I saw SO many young men whose lives were in ruins because of their past, having no guidance, no one to teach them. God bless them all!!!

Looking at the previous interview JP had with Nihal etc. It seems as if Nihal has moved from a more combative standpoint and has been persuaded of JP's sincerity. This interview marks the first opportunity for JP to engage in meaningful dialogue as a learned mentor to be listened to on the BBC. This is a fundamental shift for the BBC and Nihal. Baby steps but the tide is turning!

I had a front row ticket for Dr Jordan's event in Dublin the other week (as I did for his debate with Sam Harris). Too busy cleaning my room to notice I missed the event (just bought my own taxi and was concentrating on red tape). Don't feel as bad as I should about it. These videos help, and I'm sure I'll get another chance to see him. He's a good guy.

I think what peterson said at 30:00 is exactly what has made him so popular. For alot of people he's that person who's connected to the light at the end of the tunnel. Many of us don't have anyone in our lives who can point us towards that place and he's doing exactly that.

I love Nihal Arthanayake. We need more of him. More importantly, the BBC need more people like him. And not just confined to radio or online. A patriot for Sri Lanka and Britain, a true unifier of cultures. The sort of thing the BBC _pretend_ to be for. A man who genuinely wants the best for people and doesn't go out of his way to misrepresent, manipulate or strawman people he disagrees with.

So, BBC Radio 5 is now producing better quality material than BBC 1 TV. RIP the usual hit pieces!

This guy is on fire! Fitting location.

It’s good to see JP use his talent and wisdom in such a personal and practical manner, and actually sit face to face with people who have improved their life. One thing that struck a nerve with me is the guy at the end who said how we treat boys turns to anger and electing Trump. This is absurd. Maybe men AND women elected Trump because they were fed-up with Leftist and PC politics, and we don’t want to turn our country into a police state like the U.K. So far, we don’t send the police to people’s homes based on a Twitter or FB post, or call stating facts a “hate crime.” This is what happens in Britain, and we don’t want this Orwellian State here.
