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 wasn't speaking normatively, and didn't take Peterson to be speaking normatively. I took it that he was describing the state that has existed throughout much of human history.

of course he's speaking normatively, this is the arrangement he's arguing for going "back" to (i say "back" because "the state that has existed throughout much of human history" is always fictional) because he's a trad and that's what trads are into

In most of the stuff I've seen him saying so far he's been perfectly rational and reasonable, but I've not seen him commenting on the 'lonely men get violent' idea yet.

Hmm, there's not too much there that's sensational. For me it's mostly that I don't agree that polygamy leads to increased violence. Monogamous societies are still plenty violent. Furthermore, our society has been monogamous for a long time and violence keeps decreasing so...

our society isn't monogamous in the relevant sense because there are adults who aren't in heterosexual pairbonds running around in non-trivial numbers
