Well either he's suggesting that all kids should get married while still at school, or he's claiming that in a society where an overwhelming majority of people marry, kids would not become "angry with God" because they weren't getting laid in their teens.
So he's either demanding something I have literally never heard suggested by anyone ever, or saying relations and prospects should be more like they were in every European society in recorded history up to the 1970s. Yup, anyone's guess what he meant.
If we grant that the notion "the solution to being single is to get married" has no undercurrent of coercion, it's as banal as reciting arithmetic.
Today, the notion "the solution to being sexless is to get married" is quite radical. Marriage is presented as something you maybe do once your fun years of casual sex are over, not something you should be thinking about in your teens.
We should be clear that self identifying "incels" are a very marginal group and cover a much broader age range than teens. the real gnawing sense of failure doesn't set in until the 20s and 30s, incel resentment is of missing out on casual fun and being expected to settle down.
You've forced me to read the article, damn you. OK, he was talking about a 25-year-old, so this isn't just kids' frustrations. Peterson then claimed, "half the men fail" to get in relationships. If that's true, then the prospects for, say, 10% are completely hopeless.
(I doubt it's true personally, but that's the argument he made) Conversely, if marriage is normal (as in most of European history), say 80% of people are marrying, then even if you're failing now, you can believe you have a reasonable chance.
But like I said in my other reply, that marriage rate didn't just happen, it was contingent on the division of paid labour between sexes, and the resulting social mobility of women.
And of course other factors like religious adherence.
Well, he has a lot to say about religion too. Possibly his idea is we can have a "rediscovery of spirituality" or some such guff that means we will all choose monogamy in spite of female economic equality.
