But women aren't required to get married.

I think the institute of marriage as we know it is going to die out well before any of this comes to the forefront of modern politics.

I really hope for the sake of people who enjoy having a single partner that polyamory doesn't become something super fashionable. There'll be a great deal of fights about it, and it'll always play out like "You cheated on me!" "No I didn't I'm just polyamorous!"

If I don't have to pay a significant increase in taxes though, I really don't care. There were groups of kids back when I was in high school who sort of had a weird hybrid polyamorous relationship circle going on where the same like....3 guys dated the same 3 girls. It was weird, but if I don't have to pay for their shit I don't care if they shit on each other in unison.
