A drunk woman came up
A drunk woman came up to me in a bar and started telling me I had a "condescending attitude towards monogamy" and that I was needlessly snarky towards "couples who were perfectly happy."
"'Perfectly happy'"? I raised one eyebrow and pondered the striking of a nerve.
"The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two." --Ambrose Bierce.
Monogamy is funny. I always wanted to have a band called "Monogamy." Our motto would be: "Monogamy--it's not just a band, it's a lay of wife."
I know lots of happy monogamous couples, some of whom don't even argue constantly. (Was that condescending? OK, I'll stop.)
Seriously though, the official hot action stance on monogamy, stated somewhere on this website, is: "It seems to work for some people" and "Good for them."
So, no, I wouldn't say I have a condescending attitude towards monogamy.
And having established that, I'd like to point out that March 21st is National Breakup Day.

On National Breakup Day, it is my tradition to hang out at the Marquee Club and buy gin-and-tonics for newly single people, and also for newly about-to-be-single people. Congratulations!
Here's to freedom!!!
