Discussing monogamy, learned or natural, is usually focused on males. What about females?

[Edward N]

Distinct difference between men and womens mono or poly gamous bent, and for pretty obvious reasons. Monogamy protects the womans family and home. Now, why do modern women adopt mens values and toss out the virtues which made them superior?

think religius

[The Grappler]

You know that men are the default responsible ones, and that women needed for thousands of years to be kept under control so their anti-monogamous nature wouldn't threaten families and children.

That is what lead to the rise of The patriarchy - so feminism was to blame for that as well.....

Made them superior?

As women and men move closer towards being "equal" (in American society at least), they're bound to do the same kinds of things. In the 50's, a woman might get beaten to a pulp for cheating on her husband, and nobody would bat an eye. Nowadays that would be a huge problem, and she will just divorce him and get half his stuff. The playing field is more level in certain respects, so women are allowed to be the same degree of scumbag as men are.

Monogamy is learned. It's not natural.

What makes you think the concept of monogamy isn't about females? During the caveman times, a woman stealing another woman's husband and sleeping with multiple men who could provide for her was common. Even before the institution of marriage was founded, this was something 'normal' in the society. So no discussion of monogamy is complete without women's representation.

It's all about levels of consciousness.
The higher one takes him/herself "up the ladder" of consciousness the less he/she desires things of the flesh or material world. The more self indulgent a person is, the less single minded they and the more scattered and attached to flesh or material world.
Ancient cultures have always known this.

Monogamy is completely natural for females and completely UNNATURAL for males (in the human species).
Women do not want to share their man, but men wish they could be with many women without being punished. I.E. Tiger Woods.
