Disclaimer: All my love to poly comrades, I'm not shitting on your relationship preferences, it's just this tweet is ridiculous.

    It was a quadruple hit for me when I discovered in the same day that a) this ultra-sweet girl was actually a dom; b) she was pushing and pushing into poly despite the dude not wanting; c) she did some very stupid moves while pushing it; d) This guy won't leave her despite not liking the situation.

        No, I mean yes. See: the guy shared a lot of shitpost of unknown irony level about being a sub and other BDSM things where the dude was the sub.

            I really like the guy but I could never become IRL friends cuz he lives in another city. And the girl was really cool too, but this situation really doesn't look good for her in my perspective. Again, I don't know all the details.

      this is the only thing that i would not be surprised to hear out of these because i have had the mirror of this a assertive and domineering personality but is into sub stuff so i just don't assume anymore everyone is kinky in their own way and that is fine. but by the pushing you mean as they were in a relationship and then she was pushing to open it because that seems awful

      Cuckoldry is a recapitulation of class exploitation, the perfect neoliberal relationship. By analogy, poly leans more toward anarchism (there's a school of poly called relationship anarchy, as a matter of fact). Not the same thing, at all, and no surprise that names experience a Gresham's dynamic in the face of predators.
