    Why monogamy?

    I'm attempting to explain why monogamous relationships suffer less from paternal uncertainty, not why they are immune from it. And for the life of me, I don't understand why this is so hard to communicate or understand. I think you do understand.

    Why monogamy?

    Trust, open communication, and honesty are no substitute for paternal confirmation. It doesn't matter how much mutual trust there is if the complexities of the relationships block certainty of fatherhood. That's what I mean. I think I speak for a lot of men when I say that I have zero interest...

    Why monogamy?

    Uh.....Maybe because there's mutual trust? In open relationships, uncertainty is the baseline, regardless of whether or not there is trust between partners...because nobody knows for sure. Good lord.

    Why monogamy?

    Can you please describe the make-up of these families, the individuals raising the children in particular? I think that would enrich the discussion very much.

    Why monogamy?

    False equivalence. It's less likely to happen in a committed monogamous relationship, as there's less doubt. In polyamorous relationships, there's no practical reason for either man to adopt responsibility unless paternity has been proven.

    Why monogamy?

    And some women are just vaginas? Consider this: even if a male partner is responsible and using protection, if the woman is reckless and becomes pregnant with another man, the first man's sense of security is thrown out the door. Both men are entangled in that dilemma, regardless of their...

    Why monogamy?

    You don't grasp the seriousness of the emotional entanglement and turmoil that unwanted pregnancy to an unknown father causes. Your relationships will not be the same.

    Why monogamy?

    Uh huh... And suppose both men deny responsibility? I'm guessing you've never experienced the dilemma of paternity, because it can be a literal nightmare.

    Why monogamy?

    Yes, it does. If a woman is in a relationship with two or more men and becomes pregnant, who is the father?

    Why monogamy?

    How many of them were interested in the rearing of their own biological children? Although I was cavalier in the delivery, that was the center of the argument I was making. Polyamory really throws a wrench into that dynamic.

    Why monogamy?

    I think it's good advice that you just can't take.

    Why monogamy?

    Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

    Why monogamy?

    Point being? There's no reason for a man who has the pick of many women to invest in you, obviously. What a tragedy that a woman would have to settle for a man in her own league just to receive acknowledgement and due consideration. There are many reasons for monogamy, at least if you're...

    Cops Must Have Immunity Removed

    True. It's just a matter of which headline you want to make.

    Cops Must Have Immunity Removed

    I really wish they would utilize this kind of assertiveness on the thieves who are loading up trash bags full of merchandize.

    DEI driven community college curriculum, argh!

    This video would be correct, as long as we ignore the growing left wing that literally wants to dismantle capitalism and replace it with communism. I really don't think Robert Reich has any idea what the modern left is peddling.

    DEI driven community college curriculum, argh!

    You lack a lot of integrity when it comes to argumentation. I hate using the cliché phrase, but you've repeatedly moved the goal post. First, you complain about boys being favored in STEM fields, and when I make an evidence-based argument against it, you say that's not what you're talking about...

    Theists Only: Your Arguments

    How about mystical experiences? Essentially 100% of individuals who have near-death experiences (NDE) come back acknowledging some kind of eternal being or higher reality, and the accounts are astonishingly consistent. Granted, this is not God in the conventional dogmatic sense. It's God in an...

    DEI driven community college curriculum, argh!

    Affirmative action, of course. They're not "favored". Men and women have different interests, different values, and slightly different aptitudes. It's the same reason that nursing and psychology are dominated by women. When left to their own devices, men and women, on average, make different...

    DEI driven community college curriculum, argh!

    Do you not see the risks associated with, for example, replacing meritocratic programs with race-based quotas? You should.
