What is the mechanism under which products like this are listed? https://www.amazon.com/Darden-Restaurants-1_DARDEN_standard-...
What exactly makes this illegal?
The section about countries' fertility rates is also very weird, especially the idea that attributing much of the change to culture "is unconvincing since culture would have needed to change very rapidly in virtually all nations simultaneously" -- culture demonstrably has changed very rapidly in virtually all nations simultaneously, especially in the past 30 years.
"In her paper, published in the Journal of Sex Research this past June, Balzarini compared the demographic backgrounds of 2,428 polyamorous individuals and 539 monogamous ones by asking participants to take an online survey. Her team found that polyamorous people tend to identify more as bisexual/pansexual, are more likely to report being divorced, and make less money yearly than monogamous couples."
"When it came to monogamous relationships, 74 percent of straight respondents reported being monogamous compared to only 17 percent of bi/pan respondents. (The remaining percentage identified as gay/lesbian or other.)"
Also, this is entirely anecdotal, but in the various circles I'm a part of, every single polyamorous person I know is queer to some degree. Granted, a lot of that is because the people in my circles are disproportionately queer, but not nearly so much that it would be the sole reason for that.
Here's a metaphor that makes exactly as much sense: "Construction workers should wear hard hats." "If surgeons needed to wear bulletproof vests to perform surgery, that would be silly!"
Granted, that may be counter to the spirit of the question, but it's a valid answer lol
