Martin had two strong picks in casting for the show, Sean Bean as Ned Stark and Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister. He got them both obviously.

Martin wrote a ton for television in his career so casting actors for his books was always something he might consider.

He has been very negative about that point so it really comes down to how serious he is in his legal documents. His estate could sell rights or hire it done but not if he really objects to it.

How do you think that applies to how he uses the phrase? He uses it in a context that would prescribe enforced monogamy to western society, as in we do not currently have it as a strong norm.

I think Peterson is often a deeply reactionary thinking person with sympathies to old modes of thought that comfort him. This situation is an example. When hes asked about modern dating and mens issues he uses this term and people hearing it take the meaning to be distributing women to men in a sort of effort to tame them. Speaking of women as a resources to better utilize. Now im unsympathetic to the calls that this is unfair to him because i think hes a poor communicator and hides in ambiguity and unclear speaking all the time.

So again, if you can explain why he prescribes a norm you say already rules, then maybe there can be some clarity here.

I would implore you to be more critical about what you think is good about his videos. He is a confused presenter and does not often make coherent points. I have found that the most common way people 'like' his commentary is by crafting a personal interpretation of it that makes some kind of deeply personal sense out of nonsense.

This is quite literally the same trick of astrology, allowing many people to find personal meaning in a generic description.
