/also hijacks IIRC, only the reigning King can confer the title of Queen Consort. However, in the case of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, royal protocol dictates that a man who marries a reigning queen, he may only take the title of prince consort—not king consort—though Philip was not...

Welcome to the board! There is a TON of information here, so pace yourself. :) I would suggest snacks and rest breaks because sometimes to me it feels like taking information in with a fire hose. I am a big advocate for reading and researching as much as you can and then marinating on what you...

I do and it's generally only the religious zealots who do this. Folks who are conservative just want to be left alone and respect the fact that others just want to live their life as they so choose.

In a specific context or just in general? If it is a specific context, starting another thread would help. The advice given would be specifically for that topic. If it is in general, I would strongly urge you to read and research as much as you can with books, podcasts, etc, discuss any topics...

Context is quite literally everything in this, isn't it?

I completely agree with this assessment. Speaking for myself and no one else in the room, DH and I have a "traditional" marriage only in the aspect that he can't cook and I can't do math on account of dyscalculia. ;) He's never wanted to keep me barefoot and pregnant and it would never have...

Honestly, this is good advice for either poly or mono. And thank you for the reminder, btw! :)

Same, my dude. Same. It's disappointing in the least, but it is what it is, I suppose. Posting things like that says a lot about that person, though.

Those comments tho 😫😬🙄 Also, how are we in the 21st century and we still have lame people calling others "whores" when they have a way of living that they don't agree with? Like, really? I honestly wanted to respond to one of them, "You mad, bro?"

The post was worded in that manner in order to be respectful to both @Inaniel and his post. That is all. :) ETA: . Please do not put words into my mouth, build strawmen or move the goalposts. Thank you, my dear sir/lady. Well, they are YOUR words, soooo....🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

My dear sir, I sincerely thank you for this. I have not read this book, but I will now do so on account of your post. It is reasoned and rational and provides me with the opportunity to delve further into this topic And for that, I am grateful to you. :)

Then why not simply post this? Most of this could have been avoided had she posted actual facts instead of vague references and insinuations that we as humans lived in some sort of hunter/gatherer utopia where we all got along and were singing Kumbaya around the campfire after The Great Hunt.

You're serious with this? My dear lady, we could not be more diametrically opposed to this, even if we were standing on opposite poles of the Earth. Well, I do not know how @Inaniel feels about it, and I will not speak for him, however, I personally feel that if you have any sort of...

Hi, Grant! Welcome to the board! :) The only thing I can tell you is research, research, research and discuss, discuss, discuss. Keep the communication lines open and take your time in marinating in things. There really isn't a timeline for this sort of thing and from what I have seen, rushing...

Thank you for posting this. And I really do mean this and I promise you that I am not taking the piss out of you. :) This series of questions that you raised has had me looking various things up online this weekend as I know next to nothing in regards to how we lived as humans prior to the...

Thank you for posting this! :)

I am terribly sorry to hear about this. I am echoing @GalaGirl and others in that I hope everyone can heal and grow from this. I wish you peace on your journey.

Thank you for posting this. This perspective has given me even more pause for thought and I appreciate it when folks post things of this nature. It serves to allow me to judge for myself where I am on certain things that may or may not have occurred to me. I appreciate it! :)

Well, thank you for proving the first point. No, biology. Economics played into it on down the line and tied into it. But do not act like even the poorest of the poor did not engage in that behavior. I would also like to point out the women such as Bess of Hardwick, Catherine the Great, and...

And with hormones, it could be any number of these and all at the same time no less! :O It's like fast food. Cheap, readily available and tolerable every now and again. :) You know...you may be onto something there. Which, I can see that. However, she may not have realized that is even an...
