Authentic Masculinity

Monogamy Is Unnatural: Men with Multiple Wives Are Actually Cowards


Listen Later

"Monogamy is unnatural"—you've heard the claim from internet prophets selling evolutionary permission slips for wandering eyes. The argument sounds scientific: real men spread their seed, build harems, maximize genetic legacy. But this liberation delivers a specific form of slavery.

Here's what the polygamy peddlers won't admit: the man with multiple baby mamas isn't demonstrating masculine strength—he's revealing his terror of genuine intimacy. Fake connection with ten women will always feel easier than real connection with one.

The Darwinist pitch wants you believing commitment is Bronze Age oppression while serial conquest equals kingly success. Yet the men proudly claiming this victory are dealing their children the worst possible hand while running from the one challenge that would actually transform them.

This episode confronts an uncomfortable paradox: monogamy really is unnatural in one critical sense. The solution isn't abandoning covenant faithfulness—it's understanding what "natural" means when your nature itself is broken.
