Some of you may know that I’m currently in an open relationship with my girlfriend (as I continue to cement my place as the liberal hippie of the TMV crowd). One of the reasons why is that traditional “closed” relationships are a little too reminiscent of the view of women-as-property (property being, at root, that to which you have the right of exclusive use).
At times, this justification feels a little anachronistic. But then, I read insults to the Jewish community like Dennis Prager, and I realize that, unfortunately, it’s not all that anachronistic at all.
