Is there a more frightened creature on the face of this planet than American conservatives?
It's not fear, it's a mindset that starts with the idea that what they personally want is how the world ought to work. People don't generally make public arguments that go against their own self interest. Dudebro from the OP's screengrabs obviously has his sights set on multiple women, so he's going to say whatever dumb shit that can drag that mindset into whatever group he considers himself to be a part of.
Or it's satire and this is Poe's law in action. Dude should've had a winky.
I vaguely remember learning in biology class in high school about some kind of vole that was becoming extinct because it was so high-strung that if someone yelled at it, its heart would explode.
So no.
Once marriage is viewed as an equal partnership there is no structurally distinct role for men and women.

Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role. So why limit marriage to man and woman? Man and man or woman and woman is equally valid structurally

If men and women are interchangeable and replaceable what function does gender have in a society?

Who's to say anyone can't be any gender they want to be?

This is the roadmap to societal destruction that monogamy-only causes

We were so close!
Holy shit, this meme template was invented for this insane post.
Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role.
One of my wife's only regrets in our marriage is that she doesn't make enough to allow me to be a full time house husband. I guarantee I'm traditionally more masculine than all of these chuds. I would also love nothing more than to keep the house clean, cook, keep up the garden, finish remodeling the house, and pamper my beautiful wife. I unfortunately am just the main breadwinner, and we wouldn't be very comfortable without my salary.
I just never got how some dudes are just so fixated on their jobs being their entire identity, going as far as to base their masculinity on having a 9-5.

I (M) quit qork altogether at 35 I'm now 61. My only regret in life was not quitting work earlier,
I dated a girl in uni and she asked what my career goals were, and I said House Husband. She ended the relationship claiming I had no ambition.
Fast forward to now, I have a career, but also I work from home so I do all the cooking, laundry cycles, some decorating, while also wokring on car engine rebuilds on the weekend. My wife handles the finances, and shouting at crackheads or assholes when they are causing trouble in the neighbourhood.
Monogamy is indeed destructive, but polygyny is even worse. We want true unrestricted polygamy, and the end of marriage, in any form.
I actually thought this was a god tier shitpost until I realized this is unironic
Pretty much every time I open Facebook, I am getting at least one post that is unironically advocating for biblical polygamy. Usually with shitty AI comics.
With how rapidly the U.S. is turning into the Handmaid’s Tale, it feels like this is a botted attempt to shift the Overton window into deeper christofascism.
biblical polygamy
TIL, I had no idea this was a thing. wow.
According to the Bible, King Solomon (the wise king) had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
His father, David (the one who killed Goliath), had 8 wives that are mentioned in the text.
So "Biblical marriage" could be monogamy (like Mary and Joseph) or a wide variety of polygamous options. Either way, the most important part is that women must be faithful to only one husband.
More specific would be "historical polygamy from Biblical times." Like, "kings and stuff did it back then."
Anybody who thinks that means the Bible is for this need only look at the actual Biblical accounts of the many kings therein: Occasionally wise, fatally flawed, ultimately lonely and empty despite having the world of men in their hand.
It is not the role of man, to rule over other men.
man I wish we could all just leave the abrahamic fanfic fights behind the species.
I've never seen someone get so close to realizing that gender is a meaningless social construct while still being on the complete opposite side of the map. This person would be perfectly set up for the ultimate full-court shot if they'd ever actually reassess their preconceived beliefs.
Ok who's trying to convince their wife of an open relationship? I hope they know the men usually don't get with as many other partners as the women do. And then they get butthurt their wife is sleeping with other people even tho it was their idea in the first place.
These are the type that would believe in killing a woman for having sex with multiple men. Not something they would say out loud yet, but they view marriage as a husband-master/wife-slave thing.

They don't want an open relationship. What they want is a relationship like the kings in the Bible had: one husband with multiple wives. The men get to be polygamous, but the women are still monogamous.
they want trad wives, and brood mares.

Well, based on what this post is saying, they aren't trying to convince their wives to be in an open relationship, they're trying to pursue polygamy. It says "if you limit men to only one wife," it doesn't say "if you limit people to one spouse." They want it one sided.
I've had this done to my face. Usually from ethical ENM people lecturing me on how my monogamy is destroying society and oppressing me and everyone around me and I'm an unethical person if I only want to date monogamously.
I usually just no longer interact with such people, but that's just me.
Genuinely, I tried dating someone who was poly. Watching her kiss someone else hurt in a way that I can never fully describe. I understand that that's a me issue and not a her issue. But I can't do it. My heart just doesn't work that way.
It's just not for everybody. We're all different and have different boundaries and that's totally ok. I could never do poly either, just not for me.
If it makes you feel better most ENM hate those types too.
My ex used poly as a way to shop for a replacement. Watching him introduce the guy to our favorite places, start prioritizing him over me… it fucked me up. My 30th birthday and he was with him.
Quality post, this is truly insane.
