Well, do you think women consent was at thing back in the early days of homo sapiens?

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 months ago

Yes I do. Do I think every sex was consensual? No. Do I think at least 1% of women had at one point consented to sex? Yes.

However "-amory" implies romantic relationships. We're talking sexual interactions, not love.

When discussing animal social behaviours, "polygamy" is used.
