monogamous people who get defensive or outright combative when polyamory is brought up could probably stand to be told that they could actually change their perspectives somewhat if they put in actual effort. i do not have any more patience for people who are too comfortable in the thought that the ideas they’ve been fed about exclusivity and commitment all their life are somehow uniquely theirs, nor do i have patience for the handful of trite remarks they make about polyamory in attempts to feel clever about taking one of the most lukewarm stances in existence on something

i actually don’t think it’s enough that you simply tolerate or accept the polyamorous arrangements around you, i think you should actually look the systems that forced it to become the default in the face and take whatever you realize about it with a little humility
