Probably Poly

Have you ever wondered why people tell more negative stories then positive stories? Or, wonder what the most commonly misunderstood reasons for communication breakdowns are? Do you just want to improve your own communication success rate? Or do you want to understand the linguistic theories that undergird the ethical theories we use at Probably Poly? Then check out this weeks episode.

In the 11th episode of Probably Poly we delve a little deeper into why asking who was right and who was wrong doesn’t matter, what questions we should be asking instead, and how those two skills can allow you to over come seemingly insurmountable differences.

In this episode we discuss how heteroromantic love and heterosexiness are encoded in children's animated films. We explain how it effects viewers, why its a problem, and which movies are the best movies to watch to avoid it.

Our First Listener Question by Probably Poly

In this episode we critically examine the cultural narratives around romance. We pay special attention to how those ideas can be dangerous and objectifying, how we can avoid those outcomes, and also (for some odd reason) how I ended up with a fish.

Mandee Conant returns and we all discus the meaning of objectification, how we want to use it on the show, and how the concept can be used in the non-monogamous discourse.

In this episode of Probably Poly we introduce our new cohost and tackle the issue of how invoking rights discourse, such as right to autonomy, and right to free speech, inside interpersonal relationships can be oppressive and how we can replace those invocations with consent.

The second part of a two part interview with my mother focuses on her questions to me about polyamory. What she doesn't understand, what concerns her, and how, or if those concerns should be different then for monogamous dating.
