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

that's not how the term is used in normal parlance though, is it? In normal usage the term means you can only marry one person at a time.

yeah, which is why it's a cutesy propaganda-jargon usage like "progressive taxation" the normal usage of monogamy doesn't get incels their assigned gfs as long as it's practical for women to choose to go unmarried instead

okay, please go over to http://incels.me and let them know the good news that we already live in an enforced monogamy society and they'll be fine

yes, I'll do that right after I convinced the UFOlogists that aliens aren't going to abduct them and they'll be fine.
