Just What We Needed! New York Magazine Publishes Helpful Guide to 'Polyamory'

Twitter

For a long time one of the arguments that was made by figures on the right against the legalization and cultural acceptance of homosexual relationships as being 'the same' as a heterosexual relationship, and against gay marriage in particular, was that once you've made that acceptable you're making it inevitable that making a new taboo acceptable would become the next focus of the 'rights' and 'acceptance' movement types. At the time this idea was poo pooed as so much 'slippery slope' mumbo jumbo, and so we've happily treaded onward despite being reasonably warned of what advocates would next be pushing as 'unfairly stigmatized' on our children and grandchildren.

And now look where we are; That Overton Window has shifted and that slope is looking pretty slippery to us.

Yes, that's New York Magazine with a guide to how to live and operate in the 'polyverse'... for some reason illutrated with cats?

Isn't it fascinating how these media outlets will never shy way from passing judgement on cultural trends and forces that they don't like, but when it comes to things like this that it seems they're implicitly okay with they fall back on 'We're not taking sides, man! We're just reporting what's out there, whose business is it of ours to judge'?

See? They're not advocating for it, they're just saying it's perfectly cool and acceptable and offering a guide for how to do it! How is that advocacy?

Needless to say not everybody's onboard with the premise of this piece.

Remember when words meant things and 'ethical' had a definition that made sense? We do, those were good times.

Yup, that used to be the definition.

It's a special talent they teach in journalism school that, no doubt, the rest of us can only dream of one day understanding.

They're not actively against monogamous marriage... yet. But whoops, there we go talking about that slippery slope again. Wouldn't want to be accused of using an informal fallacy now would we?

The mainstreaming and forcing of things that were once viewed as socially problematic has led to such great results over the past few decades why wouldn't we want to keep going down that path and add more and more and more? 

This shouldn't be seen as a condemnation of homosexuality or gay marriage by any stretch, we are where we are and many people have found seeming happiness and fulfillment in their same-sex relationships. But It's hard to argue that things haven't taken a turn for the worse in many areas of Amereican (and global) since we busted through that particular Chesterton's Fence... to the point where now some in the media (and academia and government) are looking to start bulldozing every fence in sight, and it's hard to see how this will end up any better in the long run.
