Never heard of him and not interested. Next subject.He's not a sh*t bag or a sexist. You read one paragraph of someone's interpretation of an idea he expressed. Enforced monogamy has a definition. That definition does not include chaining a woman to the radiator and forcing her to love you. You're falling for the boogeyman portrait that has been painted for you by someone else. If you are interested in what his actual thoughts are, his youtube channel has hundreds of hours of content. You won't find a controversial sexist sh*t bag if you spend just ten minutes listening to the guy.
Okay. What do you have against his followers
If you really apply the principles that Peterson teaches, then (the rhetorical) you wouldn't be anti-woke, you'd be anti-tribalism and anti-victimhood, but many are just anti-woke white dudes who think they are victims of a reverse-racist, feminist society. They'll tell you they don't like identity politics and then you hang out with them long enough and you find out they are actually consumed by identity politics. I get why Peterson does it. He's getting paid. I don't get grown men fanboying over a guy telling them to stand with their shoulders straight and to pet a cat.
