I'll give the author this, it's definitely a thoughtful and lengthy piece. However, it does veer towards some unpleasant philosophies towards the end imo with a weird appeal to nature and introduction of pickup artist shit like sexual market value aka ranking attractiveness. Citing Aella as a source of information also put me off, she is definitely not a reliable resource. I think this one would've been better as an essay about lived experience and opinions rather than trying to tie it together into a neat bow with a half baked biological theory. People are messy and they're allowed to live messy lives, be it monogamous or polyamorus.

People like to turn sociology into biology to make their points seem better supported.
Wow, that's a long essay. And they even asked people with experience... Often times it's people who don't really know what they're talking about, having strong opinions on other people's lives...
