I've finally gotten around to watching some Jordan Peterson, after seeing someone calling for his 'followers' to be shot. This is an eloquent, rational man, and I've seen a lot of strong evidence that his detractors are a bunch of murderous loons.

Well, I thought he meant 'enforced monogamy in law', as has been the norm in much of the world. If it's not in law it's not really enforced!
-
that's not strictly true, it depends on the strength of custom and whether there's a social safety net
-
I agree there's a lot of variants on the system, but I think monogamy has been a very common solution, historically speaking.
-
sure, that's the case if you think a trad going "oh, nice society you have here, too bad violent young men are gonna shred it in an orgy of ultraviolence, oh hey weren't these past enforced monogamy societies lovely" is pure description i have a bridge in Brooklyn on sale cheap
-
well yes, but the left (the new left, but they're the dominant left now) is telling me that violent men are going to shred it unless we adopt their policies. So really there's not daylight between the two sides on that issue.
-
frankly i think you have an extremely outdated idea of how much weight the voices you're talking about carry compared to how much they carried precisely two years ago
-
people have been telling me that every year for eight years now. It'll be true eventually, but I'm not sure it is yet. This farrago has a lot longer to run.

well, yes, but that is how societies function, and it's preferable to tribalist polygamy, where very few males monopolize all the females. I understood his point was that the reason societies do this is to prevent the later situation. Now, I understand he went on to say...
-
i like how you just breeze past the part where we abrogate the freedom of every single woman because "oh that's just what societies need to function"
