the question was literally "what is a woman" this is matt walsh we're talking about here, not only are lesbian/gay marriages completely irrelevant here, you're giving way too much credit to matt walsh.
Yeah, and the response "marry one and find out" is both misogynistic and queerphobic, so what's your point?
the obvious answer here is that matt walsh is the misogynistic and queerphobic one, as he's the one that's asking the question. Peterson was just proposing a way to determine what a women in the modern context would be. There's nothing misogynistic or queerphobic about that. They literally aren't talking about gay marriage or women's rights.
In fact i don't see any way of claiming that the statement "marry one and find out" is either of those things. You're reaching so incredibly hard that if i were to state that i wouldn't marry a women that i must be sexist and misogynistic. Even though you literally have no conceptualization of my sexual/romantic orientation. Let alone how i feel about legally binding agreements. Or even who i am.
you could argue that petersons view of marriage is old and antiquated and that's probably fair game, but at the end of the day, the question was literally in reference to a woman. For all we know, he could could very well be including trans women in that statement, which would make sense considering the construction of that statement.
philosophically and sociologically, it's quite literally the definition of what a woman is. It's the reason why it's changed over time.
Your every paragraph includes a literally. Might want to hone it down a notch as it has a degrading effect on the content.
