Man (vs. woman) is primarily symbolic. Symbols need to refer to something in order to orient. Since we live in a hyper-symbolic time, referents become overloaded and break. Men are currently attempting to navigate a sea of symbols with no referents. Many are falling back to powerful old symbols that still refer to /something/ (thus appeal of Peterson, Tate, neo-(neo?-)Christianity) in order to have /some/ orientation.
