my main take (right now, it likely changed though the many conversations and branches this thread has) is that monogamy is the normarive standard pushed by religion and states. and everyone should at least question it. regardless if they end up agreeing on it or not.

I think one critique I would add is that your previous statement of it being a social normative is likely a lot more accurate than blaming the state or religion. There are a ton of different states and religions where monogamy is the social norm, and we can even see it reflected in nature as well.

Different relationship types are just better suited for certain animals in certain situations. Whether monogamy is still the most successful relationship type for modern humans is likely subjective.
