Monogamy solved this problem and at the same time allowed for pairbonding and family formation.
The discussions in the article sound like type of commodification and alienation that would have Marx spinning in his grave.
- klez 8y ago> Monogamy solved this problem Ok, but the article is about people who are not in a relationship (monogamous or otherwise) so for them it's not a solved problem.
- ryanx435 8y agoWe don't live in a monogamous society any longer. Divorce and cheating is absolutely rampant.
- olliej 8y agoThe article was laying out why that was a daft idea by going into detail about what it would actually mean, rather than just the sound bite from politicians saying “maybe we can appease incels by requiring people have sex with them”. It illustrated the folly in numerous ways, most importantly (in my mind and for this specific case) that incels are generally able bodied young-middle aged men who wouldn’t be considered unduly prevented from getting laid themselves (vs the disabled and elderly). Also monogamy doesn’t solve this problem at all: that’s basically the same as saying the solution to people being unable to get a relationship is for them to have a relationship.
- ghosterrific 8y agoNow that woman's Hypergamy is free... the top 20% of men get the best 80% of woman. Leaving 80% of men, fighting over the bottom 20% of women. It's truly hilarious, as a man in his 30's, with good looks and wealth can easily hold onto 5-7 "girlfriends" - amd they are ALL ok with him openly stating he is non-exclusive. Feminism amd Fempowerment is a beautiful thing....since top guys get all that they want, with no strings attached cuz "she is discovering herself".
