Here Comes Polyamory

After mainstreaming the idea of gay marriage, the radical left is limbering up for the next stage: the mainstreaming
of polyamory. You girls will remember that: it used to be called polygamy. And the polyamorists
have found a bright,
intelligent Brit academic to do it for them, according to Stanley Kurtz. Her name is Elizabeth F. Emens.

“A whiz kid with a Ph.D. in English from Cambridge University and a J.D. from Yale Law School, Emens, who teaches the University of Chicago Law School, has published a major legal and cultural defense of polyamory (group marriage).”

In “Monogamy’s Law: Compulsory Monogamy and Polyamorous Existence,” she raises the idea of a
“disposition” towards polyamory similar to the disposition people have towards homosexuality, and
can thus call “a whole raft of laws into question — from marriage laws to partnership laws,
to zoning laws, to custody laws. All these laws, says Emens,
place unfair burdens on those with a ‘poly’ disposition.”

Now that we are beginning to read the
stories
of the real children of the Sixties, the children born
to the Sixties “kids,” we are beginning to see the other side of the counterculture: the
blighted lives, the neglect, the exposure to sexual predation that occurs in what we might call a
“diverse” sexual context, we are beginning to learn the hard way the reason the west has
developed the idea of monogamous marriage between an man and a woman. It’s about the children.
It’s startling to realize that there are brilliant whiz kid academics out there that
haven’t read the news yet, and that in consequence don’t seem to have a clue.
