A self-help guru, Peterson has spent a lot of time pondering the source of youthful-male rage, which manifested last month in a terrorist attack in Toronto perpetuated by a man who described himself as an incel--short for involuntary celibacy--a term representing a group of men and an online culture that blames women for their poor sex life.
Over the course of Peterson's two-day-long interview with the Times, the academic offered his insights on the relationship between man and woman and how feminism has polluted the natural order.
The masculine spirit is under assault, Peterson told the Times. Its obvious.
One of Peterson's most controversial opinions in the profile is his recommended remedy for the virus plaguing the masculine spirit.
The cure for that is enforced monogamy," Peterson said.
It was the type of assertion that usually precedes a laugh and a clarification that it was a joke. But Peterson did not say this in jest.
"Mr. Peterson does not pause when he says this," Bowles wrote of this specific interaction. "Enforced monogamy is, to him, simply a rational solution. Otherwise women will all only go for the most high-status men, he explains, and that couldnt make either gender happy in the end."

The masculine spirit is under assault. It is obvious...
Too readily the masculine spirit IS assault.
And subjugating women to protect male egos is infuriatingly, nauseatingly, extremely prevalent today and every day....starting at, but not exclusively at, the top level of power.
