that's a construction of it, but i don't imagine for a moment that that's what JBP wants. he's said what he wants: "social convention favoring stable pair bonding". y'know, nice wholesome stuff like families sternly but lovingly teaching their scions to stay married

because trads like to make it sound like you're getting something good, like support, and just ignore the fact that the reason that support is important that without it, if you're considered beyond the pale, you starve to death on the street

the government enforcing monogamy would be bad because the government could be taken over and the enforcement could be changed. what's desired is grassroots enforcement, treatment of those who don't behave properly as scum

well, historically the government has enforced monogamy, and don't tell me that monogamy means government mandated gf, because we both know that's not what it's meant historically. That's just a twitter meme.

i've said what it means like six times now it means that the social conditions mean heterosexually pairbond or die

you've repeated posted an equation that appeared to suggest that monogamy meant everyone had to have one partner. and I'm not pairbonded, but I'm not dead yet. I will be eventually, but so will married couples.

right, because we don't live in an enforced monogamy society (though it'll only be women that are forced to have partners of course)

nonsense. We do live in an enforced monogamy society, you can only marry one person by law. That's what it means, and word games from either you or Mr Peterson won't change that.

if we lived in an enforced monogamy society in the way Peterson wants, it would be nonsensical for Peterson to suggest we could change to an enforced monogamy society to solve our problems

our society is effectively an enforced monogamy society, and it couldn't get much more so, so it will be interesting to see what Peterson is getting at when he brings this up. I don't see polyamory as having a significant impact on our society.

it doesn't, the impact that is interpreted by incels as relevant to their problems is the practical capacity of women to choose to go unpartnered
