the problem with polynormativity
by lovesquirrel42
Polyamory is getting a lot of airtime in the media these days. It’s quite remarkable, really, and it represents a major shift over the last five to ten years.
The problem—and it’s hardly surprising—is that the form of poly that’s getting by far the most airtime is the one that’s as similar to traditional monogamy as possible, because that’s the least threatening to the dominant social order.
OH, my God. Thank you, Sex Geek! I HATE poly policing, and the whole if you're not doing poly my way you're doing it wrong. Also, I may start to punch anybody who spells it Polly.
