Jordan Peterson and Bret Weinstein on Polyamory - A Non SJW Poly Woman Responds
Channel: The Eighth Square
Date: 11/01/2019

Jordan and Bret talk about how polyamory is bad both for the individual and society, but as they appear to mean polygyny or promiscuity when they say polyamory, it's difficult to clearly address that argument. What I'll try to do here is explain what polyamory and open relationships are, why I think they provide most of the benefits that Jordan and Bret ascribe to monogamy, why I don't think polyamory is an 'enlightened' way of being, and address their concerns about THE CHILDREN.
