Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Those peaceniks in the 60's got few things right with their free love trip. Imagine the misery the world could have been spared if Zuckerberg could have just got laid.

I do not wish to interrupt a pleasant conversation evolving in the replies, but think what people see as an attack on monogamy is really an attack on all human relations over the past 60 years. Parents send the kids to boot camp, kids send them to a "care home". Stressed out, underpaid teachers turn education into training for the test, students cheat and complain about their crap tutors. Bosses treat their workers as farm animals and employees see their bosses as inhuman tyrants. Everywhere extreme neoliberal individualism has atomised and alienated people from one-another. Monogamy (between any partners) is just one more casualty of this process. Divorce used to be a serious soul-searching matter. Now you can do it by SMS in your lunch break. Life partners who should love one another "In sickness and health" treat each other as economic ladders, emotional punch bags, and trophies. It's not that reification wasn't always in the air, read Jane Austen, but today that's often _all_ there is.
Monogamy in particular also leveled the playing field to some degree with dating so that you didn't get the "winner takes all" situation you have today. I think the both the death of monogamy and masculinity are the underlying causes of the "incel" phenomenon. The worst part about it is that many of the effected people push for neoliberal ideas harder because they've been brainwashed to think of them as the solution.
