Quick google search of the author, this woman made news last year when she wrote a book about her getting arrested for leaving her 4 year old alone in a parked car at Target.

The article is funny. Because the people she talks to/about all seem to think they're so noble and modern, but when the rubber meets the road, all kinds of emotions are being stepped on, and most of them are really just selfish assholes who simply want to fuck whoever they want. The one single broad seems to have a good set-up though.

My wife and I were discussing the article and I came to the conclusion that for all my radical pretensions, I'm really a traditional motherfucker.

I hope they all enjoy eternal damnation.

She was gone for the weekend, attending an out-of-state polyamory conference with her boyfriend.

this is a classic example of people trying to justify their selfish hedonism; in this case, brooks tries to puff it up with a glorified blog about it. it's well-written enough to be taken seriously on the surface. but when you break down what she's actually saying, she sounds like a spoiled brat that just wants to do what she wants.

i guess if the end goal is to fuck whoever you want, what's the point in getting married then ?

Who is going to cook dinner and do my laundry?

This sounds made up.

The cocktail parties, held at the Lake View bar Matilda, attract a mix of newcomers and longtime members, who wear glow bracelets to stand out to those who might have questions.

Sounds depressing.

This is always the exact night or time we end up going to the wrong bar. "What's going on over there?" "I don't know."

C'mon, boo! I'm sure your hubby won't mind if you take a little side trip to Flavortown!

Seems to be an odd setup from many angles. On the one hand I can see it being a positive being with people in supposedly a zero jealously or hang up situation. On the other hand I have never seen such a situation. There is always some hidden jealousy or hang up.

So then I guess they get left with they have such high desires for sex they don't care. Or they all feel that there is no connection between sex and emotions. It is simply exercise.

The last thing is three lifelong friends that could never find anyone else but were always dandy for each other? Those usually look unwanted though.

Wait a minute. Weren't you polyamorous for a while there?
