On Quillete:

> they report favorably on Jordan Peterson who has made several anti-Feminist statements and has called for “enforced monogamy”

Eric Weinstein absolutely destroyed this position. The New York Times initially criticized Jordan Peterson for the usage of the term "enforced monogamy," only for Weinstein to dig up multiple instances of the Times using the exact same phrase to describe exactly what Peterson meant. Enforced monogamy is literally a phrase that means "the social pressure to engage in long-term monogamous behavior." He used it in the context of describing why there was an uptick in "incels," essentially destructive men who are reproductively unsuccessful and increasingly unhappy with society. He wasn't even advocating for enforced monogamy, he was literally stating that the social move away from monogamy increases the number of involuntarily celibate men, which is empirically true. Every dating site has converged on the now infamous 80/20 statistic that demonstrates precisely this.

So please, check your own sources. What they've criticized Quillete for is a well debunked criticism of one of their contributors.
