Re: How do you feel about Polyamory, FS?

Yeah, I'm a little weirded out by it, but disdain is too strong a reaction IMO. If I knew someone who were polyamorous I might look at them a bit strangely for about five minutes, but then I'd get used to it. If all parties are consenting, and equal in the relationship, it's not like it's it matters.

Polygamy I have a problem with on the other hand. That's just having your cake and eating it too.

Huh, why? What's the big difference between dating multiple people and actually marrying them, provided that all parties are informed and consenting?

ayrt

I think it's more me associating polygamy with sharia law or whatever it's called, that says men can have multiple wives but doesn't allow the same right to women. And also, polygamy isn't legal in most countries, so it seems selfish to me to marry one person, as if the person you marry is somehow "better" than the other person/people you don't.

But you're right, if polygamy were legal and all parties were informed and consenting I wouldn't really care.

So, do you have a problem with non-intersectional relationships?

I'm a poly woman in a non-intersectional triad (basically, I have two boyfriend, but they are not involved with each other), so I'm polyandrous, which is just gender-reversed polygamy

If my boyfriends are okay with it who cares? Same goes if you reversed our genders. Polyamory encompasses intersectional and non-intersectional relationships.

Nitpicking, but polygamy doesn't imply anything about gender. The word you're looking for is polygyny.

... wait, what? What you're talking about is still polyamory. Neither of your boyfriends are married to you, are they?

NA

From a logical point of view, there is no difference between the woman with two boyfriends and the man with two girlfriends. The "man with two girlfriends" paradigm has a lot more cultural baggage attached, though, so I'm not surprised it produces different gut reactions.
