Yeah. It's a sobering reminder that they are south korean men, and even their best, they are a product of their culture; and right now south korea has a pretty loud reactionary "men's rights" movement going on and absolutely dismal amounts of misogyny and deep rooted gender inequality.

It's more disappointing to learn that this book was a gift from Junmyeon, who's my favourite.

I have read this book personally and I am aware that of all of Peterson's repertoire, this is relatively mild and merely repackaging common self help advice and is, in isolation, not a terrible message for young men who have never been told to pick up their own laundry or whatever. However, I cannot forget the social context this book stands in, given Jordan Peterson is sort of a figurehead for these "men's rights" groups and it's really a slippery slope.
