For clarification purposes the following is a snippet of the text from the linked article written by Franklin Veaux. It would be less articulate if I’d written it.
I generally am not a fan of rules-based relationships, particularly in polyamory. I have found, throughout all of my relationships, that they tend to work best when not governed by a codex of regulations that would...
Apparently being Polyamorous is being greedy now!
nightinthewoods:
Oh, that’s right. I forgot that the people I date don’t have any free will of their own and are not allowed to day anyone other than myself. Right. I’m just hoarding as many lovers as I can so you can’t have anyone. Fuck you.
To stay with the same woman is to make an...

A couple of minutes ago, I finished reading one of the few articles on Relationship Anarchy on the internet. From having only read the title, I could already tell that the author of the article did not quite have a grasp on what Relationship Anarchy really means. Which is not quite surprising…

I am convinced that parents want to eat their kids.
Especially the kid they identify as being of the same gender.
We are their food. Or maybe we are a wounded limb. A part of them they want to fix and make better. Make us so we look right with the rest of their body.
We are theirs and we are…

– On Good Consent, Part One | No, Seriously, What About Teh Menz? (via sexisnottheenemy)
ETA: Oh, I really like this part, too:

jtoday:
Is it wrong of me that in the poly community here on tumblr, I get really offended by some of the guys whose entire idea of polyamory seems to be hot threesomes with women who look like porn stars? Their blogs are all white women, perfectly waxed, perfectly thin, giving guys head or making out on…

This book is putting my views on relationships into words in a way that I’ve never been able to before.

I’m really happy to have learned that women don’t belong to anyone but themselves, otherwise I’d be missing out on a really amazing connection right now due to unchecked jealousy and possessiveness. Thanks feminist internet!
