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.

Maybe she needs to check out the libertarian community (or are they “class enemies”?) Confusing times.

> I am repulsed by the idea of being a man’s property.

Dear Slut,
You're in luck. It's no longer the 1970's. Women are no longer men's property and there are men who work to become a woman's property. Go to a "pussy-hat" rally and approach any man who doesn't have a leash attached to his genitals (they are taken), or try to find a guy who looks like this

[Shady]

She probably doesn’t use toilet paper, soap or razors often...

[2banana]

I predict lots of cats and box wine in her future...

[meatloaf]

I’d suggest the guy on youtube who was caught screwing a tailpipe except I’m almost certain he’s into goats rather than women.

Carlos Danger (AKA anthony weiner) is available!

[posterchild]

at 32??

[Wiser now]

If she cannot commit to a monogamous marriage, how is she going to commit to a needy child? It’s clear that her wants are all that matter to her.
Perhaps Madonna would allow her to borrow one of her ‘designer’ kids to try out motherhood first.

One critical piece of info:

“Monogamy feels antithetical to the type of feminism and anticapitalism I subscribe to.”

Look skankopotamus, just let some random guy *ahem* leave his seed on your shoes, the fly’s will do the rest - Problem solved, no monogamy...

[C19fan]

I think that is the mug of the so called advice columnist.

[Kalamata]

An Eyeball Abuse Alert would have been appreciated.

[skinndogNN]

Yes!!

That is extremely critical.

[Blue Jays]

That image is likely the columnist Liza Featherstone you have pictured, not the 32-y.o. author of the letter.

[reed13k]

Stand on the corner and charge what you think you’re worth???

[KC_Conspirator]

Oh plenty of liberal manboob White Knights, waiting in line for sloppy 200ths.

[KC_Conspirator]

Oh dear lawd, that is a critical piece of info.

[RedStateRocker]

Or as I - a happily married guy say- “Why buy milk when the cow is free’
