Monogamy is a foundational part of European/white/Western civilization. Actually, call it what they used to: Christiandom. We can be secular and use the name as the descendants of it, recognizing we aren't who we are without what it was.
Which kind of monogamy? Greek? Roman? Medieval? 17th century? 19th century? 1950s? 2000s? They're all rather different, and if monogamy can be updated so radically across the centuries, how is any particular form of it 'foundational'?
