How so? The topic is "On monogamy."

...monogamy for men. So? Are men not *persons?*

Yes...and?

I only know what men have revealed to me. You, presumably a man,
made the claim that men find strict monogamy problematic...that
monogamy is unnatural for men.

No, what I take issue with is men who swear false oaths.

I'm saying that if you know you are not monogamous,
and you know you cannot maintain monogamy,
then do *not* swear a formal oath of fidelity. There's
nothing difficult about refraining from swearing a false oath.

You wish show yourself as an honest person, don't you?
