Monogamy is a form of sexual socialism. Allowing men to only have one woman. Otherwise the most powerful men end up with all the women. Women will still usually stick to one man, but men are naturally promiscuous so they end up with multiple women. This means that the most powerful men end up impregnating most of the women. You can even end up in a Ghengis Khan situation eventually where one man is a common ancestor to a massive percentage of the population.

I think monogamy is a great idea.

"Women will still usually stick to one man"

uh not necessarily, I think women would be far more promiscuous if they didn't feel social pressure on them to be chaste

we are actually kind of seeing this in action with high divorce rates driven mostly by women as religions lose their influence

but what the progressives don't get is that we apply certain social pressures on people in society to bring about the best possible outcomes for the most people

the funny thing is that if I swapped social pressures for economic pressures this argument morphs from a conservative argument to a progressive argument

"what the conservatives don't get is that we apply certain economic pressures on people in society to bring about the best possible outcomes for the most people"

both perspectives are to some extent valid, but there are too many ideologues looking to defeat people they disagree with so they miss the forest for the trees and so the value of both perspectives is lost on people
