Do you think monogamy will always be the main "form" of earth or do we just break someday this code and just "do whatever we want" (lemmy.world)

Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe "team up" as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to "the upper class"?

I think by now you read my other comment (the comment chain with June) so it should be cleared up why I didn't associate polygamy with patriarchy.

As for me being triggered by the world patriarchy: you are absolutely correct. It's a habit I've built on less discussion friendly sites that I need to get rid of. Unfortunately for now my immediate assumption upon reading that word (unless in an academic context) is that whoever uttered it has a pretty hardcore disgust of men. Fortunately I have not seen these takes around here much if at all hence my need to lose that habit. It's definitely not healthy and, as seen in this trainwreck of a rant, definitely doesn't contribute to a healthy discussion.
