          Making a lot of assumptions here.

          The women standing in this picture could be in a polycule situation with the dude at the table and he could be stepping out on all of them with the seated woman. It could be a group of single women playing a mean-spirited prank on their friend’s lame first date. It could also be completely fake and made for attention.

          I know there are a lot of monogamous people out there who talk shit about polyamory, largely out of ignorance or envy, but there’s no need to mirror that energy back at them. It won’t change their minds or stop the shit talk and it just increases the level of negativity surrounding the conversation. Remember, the sweetest revenge against your haters is to live your best life.

              That link shows a chicken with pigtails?

              Anyway… being poly isn’t a bad thing. Being poly and lying to a partner that your monogamous, kinda is. If one party of a relationship changes their mind after commitments are made, the other party should be made aware before anything is acted on. If not, they are a lying piece of shit that can’t be trusted. Pretending to be monogamous just to trick someone into a relationship until your bored with them, despicable.

              Edit, lost my last word on posting.

          There is nothing wrong in wanting sexual exclusivity, in the same way there is nothing wrong in wanting more than one partner.
          Seeing either as “oppression” is limited mindset.
