gold-tier shitpost. i’m gonna spam this all over the place next time somebody brings up monogamy.
Is there a more frightened creature on the face of this planet than American conservatives?
It’s not fear, it’s a mindset that starts with the idea that what they personally want is how the world ought to work. People don’t generally make public arguments that go against their own self interest. Dudebro from the OP’s screengrabs obviously has his sights set on multiple women, so he’s going to say whatever dumb shit that can drag that mindset into whatever group he considers himself to be a part of.
Or it’s satire and this is Poe’s law in action. Dude should’ve had a winky.
I vaguely remember learning in biology class in high school about some kind of vole that was becoming extinct because it was so high-strung that if someone yelled at it, its heart would explode.
So no.
The three first paragraphs are actually correct and thought out. I’m surprised they got this far but then finally concluded that this is the “destruction of society”.
Ok who’s trying to convince their wife of an open relationship? I hope they know the men usually don’t get with as many other partners as the women do. And then they get butthurt their wife is sleeping with other people even tho it was their idea in the first place.
They don’t want an open relationship. What they want is a relationship like the kings in the Bible had: one husband with multiple wives. The men get to be polygamous, but the women are still monogamous.
they want trad wives, and brood mares.
Well, based on what this post is saying, they aren’t trying to convince their wives to be in an open relationship, they’re trying to pursue polygamy. It says “if you limit men to only one wife,” it doesn’t say “if you limit people to one spouse.” They want it one sided.
I’ve had this done to my face. Usually from ethical ENM people lecturing me on how my monogamy is destroying society and oppressing me and everyone around me and I’m an unethical person if I only want to date monogamously.
I usually just no longer interact with such people, but that’s just me.
If it makes you feel better most ENM hate those types too.
Genuinely, I tried dating someone who was poly. Watching her kiss someone else hurt in a way that I can never fully describe. I understand that that’s a me issue and not a her issue. But I can’t do it. My heart just doesn’t work that way.
It’s just not for everybody. We’re all different and have different boundaries and that’s totally ok. I could never do poly either, just not for me.
My ex used poly as a way to shop for a replacement. Watching him introduce the guy to our favorite places, start prioritizing him over me… it fucked me up. My 30th birthday and he was with him.
Once marriage is viewed as an equal partnership there is no structurally distinct role for men and women.
Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role. So why limit marriage to man and woman? Man and man or woman and woman is equally valid structurally
If men and women are interchangeable and replaceable what function does gender have in a society?
Who’s to say anyone can’t be any gender they want to be?
This is the roadmap to societal destruction that monogamy-only causes
We were so close!
Holy shit, this meme template was invented for this insane post.
Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role.
One of my wife’s only regrets in our marriage is that she doesn’t make enough to allow me to be a full time house husband. I guarantee I’m traditionally more masculine than all of these chuds. I would also love nothing more than to keep the house clean, cook, keep up the garden, finish remodeling the house, and pamper my beautiful wife. I unfortunately am just the main breadwinner, and we wouldn’t be very comfortable without my salary.
I just never got how some dudes are just so fixated on their jobs being their entire identity, going as far as to base their masculinity on having a 9-5.
I dated a girl in uni and she asked what my career goals were, and I said House Husband. She ended the relationship claiming I had no ambition.
Fast forward to now, I have a career, but also I work from home so I do all the cooking, laundry cycles, some decorating, while also wokring on car engine rebuilds on the weekend. My wife handles the finances, and shouting at crackheads or assholes when they are causing trouble in the neighbourhood.
that girl thinks old school, probably expects the husband to be the sole breadwinner while she likely either wont work or takes a part time job, and likely chides other people for either not working or working too little too. barring child rearing. did you ever ask if she wont spend full time taking care of a child, or she would work full time like you would?
You’re living my dream and I seethe with jealousy. I should have picked a career where I could work from home. Unfortunately I work in healthcare, so I didn’t even get to temporarily live the dream when everyone else was staying home during COVID.
i work as “essential employee” so i never stayed home, alot of people got COVID by the way, even with safety protocols. what a surprise, as soon as the lockdowns lifted, increased pressure to layoffs mounted for many industries. i heard from a friend who works in health as a technician(not directly with health related) but they held on to these employees and worked them to the bone.
Yeah… One of the biggest problems with our hospital was keeping providers healthy. A lot of people got COVID several times in a fairly short timespan and ended up having a lot of long term complications. We are attached to a college and are a large teaching hospital, so a lot of our attendees/educators tend to be older than your average physician.
A lot of people do not realize how many pillars of education we ended up losing because of COVID. Just in my department we had several attendees retire just after COVID, and had a few pass during or shortly after. One of the hardest to cope with was an older gentleman who was one of the first PAs to be licensed in our state. He ended up having to be ventilated, was lucky enough to survive, but now needed to carry around an oxygen machine to do basic tasks. That kind of experience you gain from being around since the inception of a field of study is just irreplaceable.
The sad thing is I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, so we weren’t nearly as affected when compared to others. The only reason we were really exposed is because things got so bad anyone who wasn’t currently sick was being enlisted to help out on the COVID floors. For about a 3 week period during the peak in our state the hospital was offering overtime rates to general staff to work the floors under licensed supervision.
Still makes me angry that people refused to wear masks, or still deny that it was a big deal. We’ll yeah, you got to stay home and learn to cook sourdough while some of the best people I’ve ever met were risking their lives to save your idiot uncle.
Dude that sucks.
My WFH has been for about 15 years. I used to work in an enginerring office and quit to move across country, they told me to lug my PC with me and work remotely. WTH this was an option the whole time??
Still seething over here. I’ve heard this a couple different times from people, where they put in their two weeks and the company is just “well why didn’t you tell us, of course you can work from home”. Seems to be the only time people can get a raise or get permits to wfh nowadays is if they threaten to quit.
Can you transfer to an admin type position?
Nah, I see patients both in an out-patient clinic and patients who have been admitted into the trauma ward at the hospital. All my specialty does face to face is really hands on, so no virtual visits.
The other half of my job involves custom fabrication, so we have to have access to some pretty specialized heavy machinery. I basically have the least wfh job possible. The upside is there really isn’t a possibility for my job to be automated any time in the foreseeable future, so I guess I have that going for me.
I actually thought this was a god tier shitpost until I realized this is unironic
Pretty much every time I open Facebook, I am getting at least one post that is unironically advocating for biblical polygamy. Usually with shitty AI comics.
With how rapidly the U.S. is turning into the Handmaid’s Tale, it feels like this is a botted attempt to shift the Overton window into deeper christofascism.
biblical polygamy
TIL, I had no idea this was a thing. wow.
According to the Bible, King Solomon (the wise king) had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
His father, David (the one who killed Goliath), had 8 wives that are mentioned in the text.
So “Biblical marriage” could be monogamy (like Mary and Joseph) or a wide variety of polygamous options. Either way, the most important part is that women must be faithful to only one husband.
More specific would be “historical polygamy from Biblical times.” Like, “kings and stuff did it back then.”
Anybody who thinks that means the Bible is for this need only look at the actual Biblical accounts of the many kings therein: Occasionally wise, fatally flawed, ultimately lonely and empty despite having the world of men in their hand.
It is not the role of man, to rule over other men.
man I wish we could all just leave the abrahamic fanfic fights behind the species.
It’s polygamy for one gender only.
sounds mormon to me lol. wait is that considered biblical even though they have their own fanfic?
your algo thinks you’re a cultist/fundamentalist.
or that you’re just obsessed with their content.
It’s weird, because it also thinks I’m Muslim. All of the reels are about how to know if I’m doing wudu right.
hasn’t islam had that kind of … “biblical polygamy” traditionally? i remember reading/hearing somewhere that men could have multiple wifes as long as they could pay for their resources. or is that just not contemporary anymore?
haha, my algo on youtube thinks I’m a menopausal latina woman. i get lots of ads in spanish for estrogen replacement drugs.
plot twist: you are a menopausal latina woman?
I’m not convinced it’s serious. That last sentence sounds like a joke.
I’ve never seen someone get so close to realizing that gender is a meaningless social construct while still being on the complete opposite side of the map. This person would be perfectly set up for the ultimate full-court shot if they’d ever actually reassess their preconceived beliefs.
theres a sub for that, selfawarewolves, basically its when the OOP are almost selfaware.
BAKE OUR CAKE
Truly despicable
No. Go away. We don’t do swastika cakes.
Quality post, this is truly insane.
What in the actual fuck?
It’s absolutely crazy that there are A LOT of people who think this way
Theologically speaking, he’s not wrong:
Except all of those examples are from the Old Testament, which most Christians tend to pick and choose from, largely believing that it’s effectively been wiped away by the New Testament. They treat it mostly as historical text about the lead up to Jesus’s arrival, generally not as any active set of laws or rules. But it is very much a pick and choose source of hypocrisy for what different Christians consider as “still counting”. Tons of examples like this to garbage person using it to justify their bullshit.
Also worth noting that the Christian Old Testament is from the same source text as the Jewish Tanakh, except that Jewish interpretations/translations are based off older material/translations closer to the original “source” text where Christian ones tend to be based off early translations into languages like Greek and Latin, and the Christian take on it reorganizes it roughly chronologically.
All this to say, most Christians see this shit as the horrid backwards ancient shit it is, and these examples are mostly present in Jewish canon as well despite the ever present edgy internet atheist brigade’s hyperfixation with exclusively taking on Christianity.
Still awful, still worth calling out, but being more informed helps everyone make better criticisms.
largely believing that it’s effectively been wiped away by the New Testament
Until you ask them about gay people, and then they love to bring out some Old Testament verses…
Nah. You don’t get to say “this is my infallible holy book that is never wrong” and then clarify that half of it doesn’t count … unless you want it to count.
And trying to put the 10 commandments every fucking place.
Don’t feed the drama. It only makes it grow. There are bigger fish to fry.
So are they advocating for polygamy or poly armory
You think they took the time to learn all the polys? They just want to cheat on their Christian wives I bet
I doubt they know what being poly means.
It could be that they’re trying to push some logic to cheat on their wives because it’s articulated so poorly. If they’re against monogamy that would imply open relationship or they want to fuck without being in a marriage
Those things shown aren’t even directly related.
This world is too full of people who don’t bother to train or use their brains appropriately
