So how, exactly, would you suggest telling someone 'Yes, what you're saying is ignorant and/or oppressive', if they refuse to understand? Because honestly, I've found saying 'Replace X with any other group, and if it comes off that way, then it *is* that' works pretty damn well most of the time.

I hate cake. Now, replace cake with gays, and if it comes off that way, it is that way.

...obviously I'm using a completely ridiculous example, but the point is that you can't compare things that aren't in the same class. If you want to talk to people about why being poly isn't wrong specifically, the "have you ever had a crush on two people/celebrities/whatever at the same time" questions work better. Not perfect, but at least then you won't be using an oppressed group as your shield.
