Well, do you think women consent was at thing back in the early days of homo sapiens?

i mean yeah, if your tribe goes around raping other tribes' women that's going to get everyone you know and love put on the "kill on sight" list.

Look at how you're sorting things, this comment you're replying to is 7 months old

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

bro 7 months is fucking nothing on the internet, people reply to 7 year old comments all the time. This is a forum not a chat

Sorry bro but this is a Reddit like platform, not an old school forum, people don't care about 7 months old posts... Hell they don't care about a 2 days old post.

Ok what’s happening, it’s the second reply to this 7 months old comment that I get this week

and yet you had to say this, so clearly people do care about old posts, and you're the odd one out.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The only reason being that you resurrected the conversation for them by replying to me.

The vast majority sorts by "all top 6h" so no, I'm not the odd one out and you'll notice it if you start paying attention to the age of the comments you're replying to.

well then tough shit i guess, you'll just have to accept that no one else gives a shit what you think.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

And no one gives a shit about people who reply to 7 months old comments.

Have a good life.

nah poligamy were just the norm

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Polyamory is the word you're looking for polygamy assumes marriage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

However "-amory" implies romantic relationships. We're talking sexual interactions, not love.

When discussing animal social behaviours, "polygamy" is used.

oh, i didn't knew that thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If you meant a man had several female partners, you had the right word. Polyamory doesn't care whether the person in charge is male or female. Polygamy means a man had many women

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yes I do. Do I think every sex was consensual? No. Do I think at least 1% of women had at one point consented to sex? Yes.

Consider that one of our two closest ape relatives is the bonobo. They settle arguments with head jobs, ask for favours the same way

We're clearly not as bad as ducks

I sort by new comments, so this thread would have appeared in my feed because that previous person commented in it
