It seems that you are quite certain that spanking is always wrong, and that anyone recommending is therefore revealing an abusive nature. Is that your intent?
I’ll take on that position:

Yeah, it's pretty much canonical. So much so, that if Peterson recommends ANY spanking, I think he should immediately qualify it.

I don't know. I'm talking about the book. Are you? Or are you also here just to smear Peterson without actually addressing the ideas in the book?

Okay, you quoted something about the Tampon King of India. What, in particular, is your problem with this passage? Also. . . I've read so far Chapter 1 and working on Chapter 2. Tampons haven't come up yet-- would you point me to which chapter/page you got the quote from?
I would probably agree with the assessment you're trying to make-- that he's using men who have done things that benefit women as evidence that there's no patriarchy. I don't think that's a particularly strong argument.
