I’m a Marxist-Feminist Slut—How Do I Find an Open Relationship?

Dear Liza, 


I’m a 32-year-old woman who would like to have kids and a life partner in the not-so-distant future. And lucky me! I’ve recently started dating an excellent candidate. But I can’t even pretend to think it’s possible (or desirable) to have sex with just one person for the rest of my life or even, frankly, for a few years. 
 Monogamy feels antithetical to the type of feminism and anticapitalism I subscribe to. I am repulsed by the idea of being a man’s property. Also, monogamy—like capitalism—requires us to believe in a false scarcity: that we have to struggle for every little bit and that everything we gain comes at someone else’s expense. The kind of liberatory future I’d like to see is one of abundance and generosity and sharing. One of the few places we can experiment with that now is in our love lives.

LOL, they really have a hook-up program called “Grinder”?

Grinder = Tinder for the LGBTs.

[Red Badger]

Yes, it’s the homo version of Tinder....................

Dear Liza,

There are plenty of Beta white knights(suckers) out there for you who are willing to pay for your trollop 80/20 life style.

Keep in mind, you may have to do it on the sly if your victim becomes unreasonable.

Good luck!

Find that guy who was having sex with a chain link fence.

A guy who will fork a fence will fork anything.

I hear ISIS enjoys sharing.

[Yaelle]

OMG, I thought you made up that title! LOL!

He didn’t? Omg.

[Red Badger]

Wow. Talk about cognitive dissonance.

You should read the prologue to one of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath's Tale, written between 1387–1400. This woman sounds just like her!

[Boomer]

This feminist should plan on spending a great deal of time at the STD clinic.

[ßuddaßudd]

shes already too old for kids,,

[BBQToadRibs]

My Spidey-senses are tingling and they’re saying she’s not exactly “mother” material.

Should be more concerned with finding the Lord than finding an open relationship

A picture is required to determine guilt or innocence.

You’d have to be suicidal to touch this AIDs bag.

You know, people don’t understand how smart early humans were, learning from real life. Do these idiots think monogamy was a construct to keep people religious or in line?? No, fools. It was a biological imperative because human life depended, still depends, on a symbiosis with tiny organisms within us. DUH. The people who didn’t keep to their partners in cave times DIED. Every kiss you swap actually does give good and bad bacteria a freeway. We live at their pleasure and vice versa.

The app is for gay men.

Why create a child who you will be responsible for with someone that won’t be there with you and who, short of genetic testing, you will always have a little doubt about.

Women always know who the mother is, men live without that certainty regarding fatherhood.

[buffaloguy]

You are not marriage material.
You’re supposed to stop dating after the nuptials.
See how that works?

[Responsibility2nd]

I feel sorry for her candidate to be her life partner because she is going to end up hurting this guy really bad.

How do you know it’d be a guy?

Could be a warthog for all we know.

[Menehune56]

Wow, this isn’t satire. I don’t think...

[Nifster]

Whatever else is true this idiot does not want a relationship....that requires one to be less self centered

[Blue Jays]

What withs HIV/AIDS, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and other nastiness out there...who seriously wants a lifetime being "on the prowl" forever?
