I've never seen someone get so close to realizing that gender is a meaningless social construct while still being on the complete opposite side of the map. This person would be perfectly set up for the ultimate full-court shot if they'd ever actually reassess their preconceived beliefs.

Once marriage is viewed as an equal partnership there is no structurally distinct role for men and women.

Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role. So why limit marriage to man and woman? Man and man or woman and woman is equally valid structurally

If men and women are interchangeable and replaceable what function does gender have in a society?

Who's to say anyone can't be any gender they want to be?

This is the roadmap to societal destruction that monogamy-only causes

We were so close!

Pretty much every time I open Facebook, I am getting at least one post that is unironically advocating for biblical polygamy. Usually with shitty AI comics.

With how rapidly the U.S. is turning into the Handmaid’s Tale, it feels like this is a botted attempt to shift the Overton window into deeper christofascism.

One of my wife's only regrets in our marriage is that she doesn't make enough to allow me to be a full time house husband. I guarantee I'm traditionally more masculine than all of these chuds. I would also love nothing more than to keep the house clean, cook, keep up the garden, finish remodeling the house, and pamper my beautiful wife. I unfortunately am just the main breadwinner, and we wouldn't be very comfortable without my salary.

I just never got how some dudes are just so fixated on their jobs being their entire identity, going as far as to base their masculinity on having a 9-5.

I dated a girl in uni and she asked what my career goals were, and I said House Husband. She ended the relationship claiming I had no ambition.

Fast forward to now, I have a career, but also I work from home so I do all the cooking, laundry cycles, some decorating, while also wokring on car engine rebuilds on the weekend.
My wife handles the finances, and shouting at crackheads or assholes when they are causing trouble in the neighbourhood.

I doubt they know what being poly means.

It could be that they're trying to push some logic to cheat on their wives because it's articulated so poorly. If they're against monogamy that would imply open relationship or they want to fuck without being in a marriage

You're living my dream and I seethe with jealousy. I should have picked a career where I could work from home. Unfortunately I work in healthcare, so I didn't even get to temporarily live the dream when everyone else was staying home during COVID.

Still seething over here. I've heard this a couple different times from people, where they put in their two weeks and the company is just "well why didn't you tell us, of course you can work from home". Seems to be the only time people can get a raise or get permits to wfh nowadays is if they threaten to quit.

I've had this done to my face. Usually from ethical ENM people lecturing me on how my monogamy is destroying society and oppressing me and everyone around me and I'm an unethical person if I only want to date monogamously.

I usually just no longer interact with such people, but that's just me.

As someone that identifies as a Mormon now after a fantastic ritualistic shaming session after being invited to a Mormon church because the neighborhood has noticed I'm drinking again, I must say I am offended by the dual implications of this post.

On one hand, I believe in polyamory. People are not possessions and we should love each other equally to form polycules of all gender combinations and permutations to achieve what Jesus Christ gave his life to give us. On the other hand, I feel that if I could not get on my knees to love some black men and bring them into the Mormon Church, then I have failed our prophet, Joseph Smith.

While I'm aware how this may seem funny satire, I am 100% serious. I am forming Mormon Occultism and teaching this as what our Father wanted us to be on this Earth, and I guarantee my congregation will be more diverse than the one I was shamed at. Wonderful people though. Don't know the sword they're wielding, being in semblance dharma. They ain't The Sound of Gravel, but they ain't all there in the Jesus department. So, I'll be as audacious as our lord was.

Nah, I see patients both in an out-patient clinic and patients who have been admitted into the trauma ward at the hospital. All my specialty does face to face is really hands on, so no virtual visits.

The other half of my job involves custom fabrication, so we have to have access to some pretty specialized heavy machinery. I basically have the least wfh job possible. The upside is there really isn't a possibility for my job to be automated any time in the foreseeable future, so I guess I have that going for me.

Genuinely, I tried dating someone who was poly. Watching her kiss someone else hurt in a way that I can never fully describe. I understand that that's a me issue and not a her issue. But I can't do it. My heart just doesn't work that way.

Speaking as someone who gets continuously harassed by the intolerant, prejudiced members of society because I am different than them, stop calling me a n*gger, please and thank you. I love you. I'm by default subhuman in your eyes. Your default response to me is, as I've heard it a thousand, billion times before, because I'm a disabled person:

"Dude, respectfully, you are an inferior, subhuman mongrel that is upsetting me in my doomscrolling. Please take the medicication you're already taking and go see professional who won't meet woth you because the medical industry believes cutting you off from therapy is best for you. I don't care about your specific suffering, you make my experience on social media worse, therefore I, like thousands and billions of others, are going to make your experience worse by goading you into submission."

Like, fuck you. Just straight up fuck you. You are the billionth person to say I'm an inferior human being because I'm schizoaffective n autistic with PTSD. I'm ALWAYS a n*gger in YOUR eyes, by how you treat me.

ALL of you idolaters say the same things. Devoid of actual love. I'm a problem in your eyes, BY DEFAULT. Meet me halfway here. What does that look like to you? I want to see what you think "meeting me halfway" is.

My ex used poly as a way to shop for a replacement. Watching him introduce the guy to our favorite places, start prioritizing him over me… it fucked me up. My 30th birthday and he was with him.

Ok who's trying to convince their wife of an open relationship? I hope they know the men usually don't get with as many other partners as the women do. And then they get butthurt their wife is sleeping with other people even tho it was their idea in the first place.

I work in orthotics and prosthetics, I build and fit people for artificial limbs and custom orthopedic braces. It's a little specialty branch working under orthopedics and rehabilitation. Kinda merges medicine and fabrication using plaster, metal, thermoplastic, composites, leather and fabrics.

Very cool. I have been doing some of that work for 3D printed prosthesis parts. We get scans of the limb and build out from there. I have no clinician skills, we just get direction from somebody in your position and make the models in CAD and then print them.

Oh cool, yeah that side has really taken off in the last couple years. Especially considering a lot of clinics have stopped fabricating in-house. I work for a university hospital, so we have a pretty large fabrication lab and make most of our stuff ourselves, but we've experimented with a couple 3d printed prosthetic sockets recently.

We mostly do 3d scans to create positive models, and then fabricate around those if needed. Works really well for anatomy that's hard to use traditional casting techniques like for cranial helmets. Are most of the people you get scans from using the Structure 3d camera?
