(Modern/Western) Marriage = (Formally Committed) Monogamy

The evolutionary psychologists who say monogamy is unnatural and the religious conservatives who say that homosexuality is unnatural are using the word “natural” in two different senses. The anti-monogamists intend to use the word in the descriptive sense you do: what animals do in the wild or what pre-culture humans…

“This sounds just like an excuse men made up to be able to cheat. Cheating has never been an issue in any of my relationships, but maybe that’s because I’m a lesbian, and I date highly educated professional women that don’t drink or party?”

“All of those problems aren’t isolated to polyamorous relationships.”

If you cut every part of a relationship out except sex then you cut every part of your sexual partner out of your relationship except the things about them that help…

“In the rush to celebrate worthy alternatives to monogamy, are we discouraging the hopeful traditionalists from even giving it a try?”
