So Corona Virus is okay then, man, Mexicans are getting blamed for nothing? How do you feel about micro-aggressions?

Seriously, don't call it Wuhan disease. Just because it originated in that region many people who do use the name "Wuhan disease" or "Wuhan flu" actually use it to disparage the region and chinese in general, and even inflame prejudice against them in the people too stupid to separate where a thing is from from the actual thing itself. It's a virus. Where it originated doesn't matter because where it originated won't impact whether you get it by the time it's gone global. There's also a history of people reacting irrationally to these colloquial names such as killing off large numbers of pigs for no reason during the swine flu epidemic based solely on the name.

Corona virus or COVID-19 are fine. Literally everyone knows what they refer to. COVID-19 being better because it's more specific about the strain of corona virus that's an issue.

I'm not sure you understand. People who are polyamorous and pursue relationships of that type don't all date the same people. It's not like if I had a girlfriend and I also wanted to have a boyfriend that my girlfriend is also dating my boyfriend. That can be a thing people do but it doesn't have to be and it's probably not the case in most polyamorous relationships. I'll say it again that cheating is just violating an established boundary in a relationship. So if I had a girlfriend and we were both fine with the other dating or sleeping with other people on the condition they tell us they are and don't hide it from the other person, it would then be cheating if one hides the fact that they have another partner.

Ultimately cheating is cheating in any relationship paradigm as it's really just violating relationship boundaries set between the parties involved.

But how do you separate cheating in a polyamorous relationship? If you don't like the partner that you partner has chosen to sleep with, now is that cheating?

So technically, your relationship choice is no longer what you are attracted to, but what your partner is.

Cheating isn't the same thing as non-monogamy.

Monogany does exist in animals actually, so I wouldn't listen to this person trying to tell you otherwise. It actually has more advantages for species survival than polygamy.

I'd say both sexes tend to hold grudges in terms of infidelity. I'd say the bias comes more from gender bias' that say men are always more likely to cheat than woman are, even though I believe the actual evidence dictates that it's closer to 50-50 than our society would care to admit to.

Lol, oh wait I get it. I think he is talking about something totally different than what you are referring to, maybe. Then again we don't know what the hell is going on, I am pretty sure that was she on purpose. If we follow the events surrounding him, the election, and America; then we could have more insight to what he was probably referring to.

Okay, so what are you saying?

?? Really, google eh. Okay.

Hey, how come women and men use different hormones? Is it social construction that women and men are better at certain things, that men can do certain tasks better and differently than women, and vice versa?

Why is it on a neuropsychological test of IQ, men have consistently (not always) our preformed women in visuospatial, and women typically out preform men in verbal/linguistic?

Well, considering you're quoting The NY Times and I've written a whole MA thesis on the subject...

Yeah, I guess you do you man. I mean, what could I possibly know that uncle google won't make you a better specialist at!

well, the first was after the recent protests. the second is 4 years ago, when obama was elected

jenovajunkie, can you link a scientific paper that supports what you're trying to say?

I... what?

No.

Umm what does this say? It's a bit backwards lol. What time did that first tweet get tweeted? What is he talking about in the second tweet?

I guess, the only thing you would be missing is the laws of marriage? Like the taxation and stuff, but if you and you're partner are really in love; why wouldn't you just do it anyways? (Be married and together)

If you decide to split, make it a clean break? I don't know, I am certain there's always a way around stuff. It's not like like the LGTB community is something that just appeared in the world.

Expectations are different from actual happenings though, so we will have to wait and see. It's going to be a long fight, but there are people who are going to help certain parties. Remember this is a democracy, right?

Trump in the electoral race is probably a lot different than Trump President Elect. Probably.
