Monogamy oppresses women (insightful article included)
Hey guys, if you don't think it's okay for your wife to sleep with multiple men a week, then you're oppressing her and you're on the wrong side of history.
What's the matter? Women enjoy sex too, you know, and monogamy is sooo outdated. We're not living in the 50's anymore, so check your privilege.

Modern feminism basically comes down to "women should be allowed to do anything they want, with no consequences, and if anything bad happens, it's men's fault".BlueGasMask wrote:Sure is great that this couple figured out that they're more comfortable with an open relationship but I really don't understand how this constitutes as feminism.
And modern civil rights comes down to 'black people can do no wrong, it's all white people's fault.' The south will rise again I tell you!namida wrote:Modern feminism basically comes down to "women should be allowed to do anything they want, with no consequences, and if anything bad happens, it's men's fault".BlueGasMask wrote:Sure is great that this couple figured out that they're more comfortable with an open relationship but I really don't understand how this constitutes as feminism.
The modern everything has broken down into a war between those who stick to the old oppressions, whining like spoiled children at the slightest threat to their dominance and those who whine nonsensical things because that's the only way to be heard above the noise. There's perfectly reasonable progress to be made but it's drowned out by all the crud.
I myself come down on the side of 'feminism' mostly because they have the fewest asshats. Take Sarkessian; she has a youtube channel and rants about sexism in video games. I agree with some of her points and not with others. (Doom being violent is a problem? Who are you, Jack Thompson?) Her asshattery is low level.
On the other side we have death threats, rape threats and general garg. Two guys have managed to get the internet to pay them $5000 a week to... do nothing. But they'll eventually produce a 'documentary' against Sarkessian, as soon as they get *7000* a week! Are you serious? It's like watching religious nutcases shelling out $150 for Glenn Beck's newest book, except without the book.
They're so garg even ED looks good next to them. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/The_Sarkeesian_Effect

Well... not exactly. Firstly it tends to encourage gender imbalance, each man with many wives means some men will have no wives. This tends to create a number of sexually frustrated young men. This is one reason why countries that allow polygamy are more violent. (Iran, Iraq, Pakistan! Surely countries to emulate.)
There are other issues as well.

You seem to be coming very much from an assumption that only one gender is allowed to be polygamous. Which might be true in the specific laws of the country you quote; but there is literally no reason why, in an equal society which allows for polygamy, that a man could have many wives and a woman could have many husbands, if they so wished. In this context, the only people being "oppressed" are the "muh traditional marriage!" types who aren't content with simply following their "traditional" definition in their own lives, but feel the need to demand everyone else follows it too.Levellass wrote:Well... not exactly.

What the fucl did I just read.
You know... polygamy... I disagree with it, anyone who doesn't, whatever, it's fine, they can do what they want. Open relationships are the couple's business.
But saying garg like "monogamy oppresses women" and presenting it as an issue of feminism....
Lord, what the hell happened to the world? What IS happening to the world? What is this???
