Monogamy is about controlling women. It started only 10,000 years ago during the agricultural revolution to control female sexuality because inheritance and land transfer became important. Monogamy has now become the cultural norm, evolving into a practice where people treat their partners as possessions to be owned and jealously guarded. Polyamory, on the other hand, emphasizes self-ownership and autonomy, highlighting that everyone belongs to themselves and has the freedom to choose. By being

How do you define monogamy? People who identify with dominant societal norms often haven’t critically examined them. For instance, white individuals may struggle to define what it means to be white compared to someone from a racialized minority. Similarly, many who practice monogamy may find it challenging to clearly define what it is. However, traditional monogamists can become protective of monogamy when encountering non-monogamy, suggesting they have a sense of what it isn’t, even if they’re

It’s always wild to me how much people romanticize monogamy when our own grandmothers hardly experienced freedom in love. Just a few generations back, it wasn’t subtle monogamy was a tool for controlling women’s sexuality. That’s why so few of us have divorced grandparents. It wasn’t because marriage was “more respected” back then it was because women didn’t have rights. Monogamy, at its core, has always been about control. Historically, monogamy became a social standard during the agricultural

Polyphobia: The Pervasive Stigma Against Non-Monogamy The negative judgment of polyamory is deeply ingrained because monogamy has positioned itself as the only legitimate relationship model, casting anyone who doesn’t conform—especially those who seek love and family outside of monogamy—as deviant. But nothing in life is one-size-fits-all. There is nothing wrong with being soloamorous, ambiamorous, or monogamous—none of these mean someone has a fear of commitment. If anything, polyamory requires

For people who have never practiced monogamy and have embraced polyamory from an early age, polyamory feels entirely natural—it’s their default way of relating. They often view monogamy as something foreign or even repressive, and may struggle to understand why others continue to willingly choose it. However, for those transitioning from monogamy to polyamory, the experience can be incredibly challenging. Their nervous systems and worldviews have been deeply conditioned by a monogamous paradigm,

One of the biggest shocks when people move from monogamy to non-monogamy… is time. In monogamy, it’s very easy to fall into the default of: “I’m free, so my partner must be available.” But relationships don’t work well when time is based on assumption. When I first opened my relationship, I was afraid my partner would “take time away” from me to spend it with someone else. But then I realized something important: If we already spent every day together, every weekend together, and slept together

Decolonizing Love on Instagram: "The history of monogamy is rooted in the major human shift from hunter-gatherer societies to the agricultural revolution around 10,000 years ago. With settled farming, male labor became essential, and land inheritance gained importance, leading to the rise of patriarchy. As communities grew more established, the focus on inheritance and property rights created a need to control lineage to ensure resources stayed within a family. This marked a shift from more comm
