* relax the rules

Why monogamy doesn’t work:
* Men are not perfect…so you get something from one and something else form another
* It’s a fact- all people want to be loved and everyone has lots to do in their own space…so you can be loved by many and each can get their own space!
* Are you ready to commit and only stay with one person??? (if each person has their defined role and space…then its fun!)

Monogamy is a process by which society makes us conform…outta monogamy you conform to all aspects of society…such as:
* the duality between man and woman
* status- hypergamy…caste endogamy…clan exogamy
* economic expectations of man and woman- man earns…woman burns
* social expectations of man and woman- man works…woman works (except at home)
* political expectations of man and women- one makes decisions, the other executes
* who is accepted to be responsible of children…the woman…of course!
* Dress- oooh…that’s a tricker…(should I include jewelry??)
* Language- linguistic conformity…use of particular words in particular style (duh…that’s why men abuse overtly)
* Religion…faith..one God…yess..thats God…but then who’s God?? my God...your God??

* Locality--what's on the menu??patrilocal, neolocal...virilocal???
* The name…plzzzzzz…not the name…why are we changing names coz of the stupid man??
* You have to be serious and committed!!..
* Temptation???..now don’t talk about the duality between virtue and sin!...
* Gift- giving is made two-way…what about circular???
* Single track thinking…

But there are multiple truths, multiple ways of being, multiple choices…
