“The cure for that is enforced monogamy. That’s actually why monogamy emerges.” -Jordan Peterson.

He literally suggested a solution. It was quoted in the article you’re commenting on. Did you even read it?

Do you have any studies or research to back up your assertion that women believe they deserve men that are more attractive than them? Because all of the research I’ve seen indicates that women, unlike men, do not place too much importance on a man’s looks.

I’m going to guess that if the study you’re referring to does…

I have watched the interview from which that meme started, and I have read what he actually says, and I’m here to tell you that if he’s being misinterpreted here, it is only because he is either too deliberately vague or he simply does not understand the implications of his own arguments. Because, based on the…

As I’ve said to other commenters trying to make the same half-baked argument: married men are only less violent if you don’t take into consideration violence against women and domestic violence. And if you ignore those types of violence, it seems that he’s then valuing the safety of the public, mainly men, over the…

In that one hypothetical situation, yes. Sure. But in the real world, if you cannot find anyone that you find attractive and that wants to fuck you, you either need to lower your standards or develop a better personality. Attraction is about more than just looks, and if you cannot possibly be physically attractive to…

Nope, it’s your own fault, most likely. Either your standards are too high, or your not doing enough introspection to figure out why people don’t want to be involved with you. There’s always someone uglier than you are, and if even they don’t want to fuck you, then you’ve got some work to do.

Then you should be having sex with other incredibly ugly people. It’s really not that hard.

Yes, but bonobos are matriarchal and far less violent, and they are the closest relative to humans. So....what’s your point?

This only holds true if you completely ignore domestic violence. Otherwise, the married men and unmarried men would be equally as violent.

No, a small subset of men who are unable to find willing sexual partners and who feel entitled to them will turn to violence. That’s why there’s vitriol against “incels;” no one is owed sex. And if you’re not having sex, it’s your own fault. Most of these men refuse to lower their standards and date women more “in…

See, this is the problem with Peterson and his flock of pseudo-intellectual followers: you claim “long-proven sociological fact” with no sources whatsoever, then you suggest a solution, usually some abstract bullshit like “promote monogamy,” and then back track when you’re called out on it. You’re just vague enough to…

What could we do that does not infringe on the rights and bodily autonomy of other people? The only solution beyond some abstract “promote monogamy” bullshit is perpetrating violence against women in order to prevent men from being violent. Arranged marriages, human trafficking, sexual slavery. Those are the only ways…

Oh, well then he’s just wrong. Unless he doesn’t consider domestic violence to be violence.

So I’m an artist, and there’s this phenomenon with a lot of younger artists trying to write artist statements* where they use overly abstract terms, flowery language, and sound so pretentious and self-important all without actually saying anything. And if you ask them for clarification, you usually find that they have…

I’ve seen him quoted and basically worshiped all over the internet. And it’s not even just his disgustingly misogynistic bullshit that they’re eating up....he’s also given a speech “debunking” white privilege.

So I just watched that documentary about Jane Goodall, and this is completely off topic, but there was that one young chimp, born to an older mother, and Mum couldn’t ween him or get him to be independent because he threw tantrums and hit her when she tried to push him away. She was too old for his shit. So he died…

So he’s basically saying these men have a “have sex with me or I’ll murder some people” take on life? And it’s somehow our responsibly to provide that sex in order to protect ourselves and our society from them? Ummmm, k.

I’m not the one confusing “safety” and “comfort.” Trans women are not a threat to women’s safety. You might find a trans woman’s body triggering, but that is not her problem, it is yours. And excluding them from women’s prisons and safe spaces because they make you uncomfortable or trigger you is to punish them and…

She wasn’t a man, then. Your premise doesn’t make sense. A woman convicted a sexual offense, goes to a men’s prison, transitions in prison, then (ideally) is sent to a women’s prison with the rest of the women sex offenders.

Women prisoners are already being housed with convicted sex offenders.....because women that commit sex offenses go to women’s prisons. Pretty sure the first page of google could also tell you that.
