heh, just got into this argument on FB! As someone who regularly "shares" entertainment, I can't ethically defend that position at all, and as an artist myself, I completely agree with your statement here!
Also, good poem. I think it does a pretty good job of explaining my perspective on poly too. I think people who come to poly from a previously-monogamous marriage and have never had to date polyamorously as a single person, or who have been partnered for their entire adult lives, have a much higher likelihood of not seeing relationships or themselves in this way. And I think that motivates all the couple-privilege rules we see around here, as some people seem to be terrified that they might ultimately be on their own.
