#monogamy — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐦💞 Most #birds practice social #monogamy, but only a few species actually mate for life.

Ornithologist Bart Kempenaers from the #MaxPlanck Institute explains that longevity, predation risk, and site fidelity all influence whether #animals stay partnered. Even lifelong animal pairs don’t always mate exclusively, with “cheating” and “divorce” playing a role.

Friday's fire take:

Monogamy is not the natural state of humans and defs not the natural state of hellions.

"But humans are naturally monogamous!"

U are not.

- U cheat like, a LOT.

- U divorce at crazy rates. Like up to 50% of first marriages and up to 70% of other ones.

- Even when u don't cheat, u often skirt the border of like... emotional cheating. Or u know, climb the fence and sneak into emotional cheating land lol.

Okie, some of u might be monogamous but I don't think its as common as u think. Ur obsession with it is bc even if u were never Abrahamic, u have been force fed their views. I think probs, u are not entirely mono, even if u do tje mono thing for short times.

"What about hellions?"

Pfft we are mostly like u. Including the dumb indoctrination.

"What about u?"

I'm non-mono but demi. So not mono but super picky.
