On Jordan Peterson's "Working Class Jobs and Wisdom," and the male ritual of ball-busting.

In video I discuss the phenomena of "ribbing" or "ball busting" that Jordan Peterson speaks about when discussing his experience on a railroad job site in his video titled "Working Class Jobs and Wisdom."
I posit that where many see superficial insults and cruel jokes, there is much deeper meaning in the male ritual of "ribbing" or "ball busting," one that women do not relate to or understand, yet it speaks of a strength and caring in male bonds that they would be envious to have in their own friendships.

Please see my follow-up video, coming soon, where I tell a REALLY DARK ball-breaking jobsite story I forgot to include, that illustrates how ball-busting can be used to diffuse truly serious situations.

Thanks everyone!
