Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

men and women of power both have had harems for hundreds of years while also having respect for their first wife or husband. Harems by themselves don't mean lack of respect. Its just a different dynamic.

A single partner or many in both cases you can show respect or disrespect for others.

You are imposing values from one culture upon a different culture. Respect is shown differently from culture to culture, there isn't some universal way of doing that. So your example isn't really applicable in this situation.

And what culture do you think i am from? In my culture anything but monogamy is considered a sin and evil. That doesn't mean i cant respect others, understand history, or the basic concept of human consent. It doesn't matter what culture your from. The entire FUCKING point im making here is that no one culture gets to decide what is or isn't right.

A harem in and of it self means NOTHING one way or another to these facts. What moral value get applied is a whole fucking DIFFERENT point.

So fuck off.
