“When I wrote Compulsory monogamy as sexual socialism for mediocre men in 2023, I was very focused on the individual. It’s a lot about how dumb compulsory monogamy’s assumptions turn out to be upon just a hint of examination and how weak and silly men end up seeming when they insist upon those assumptions. In 2026, I’m less interested in the mechanics of monogamy versus consensual non-monogamy for the individuals involved and more interested in how monogamy functions in society. Like, what is the purpose of compulsory monogamy? What is its utility? Who does it serve, and how?” (02/04/26)
