This would be do much better if you actually engaged with what the guy is saying rather than taking a two word phrase and going on a creative writing binge from there.

I have no idea what Peterson has been saying but having seen so many GC writers dragged for saying banal things which are then taken out of context or twisted to ridiculous extremes I'm not going to buy the same thing done to male writers by my side.

If you don't even know what Dr. Peterson has been saying, why are you criticizing the article? The author just follows the implications of socially enforced monogamy to its natural conclusion, which is a pretty bleak world for women.

Why did you comment then if you have "no idea what he's talking about."

He's saying women should be used as a buffer between violent men and society. Women's thoughts and feelings are irrelevant because he's implying a "greater good" scenario where some women suffer and die so that all the other men and the remaining women can live in peace.

JP's constant harping on women as "darkness" (to men's "light") and "chaos" (to men's "order") was really the clincher for me.

EDIT: Awww, the poor wife had cancer. He's still a junkie.
