Hierarchy in Polyamory

The conversation dives into the complexities of hierarchical versus non-hierarchical polyamory, with strong opinions on the legitimacy of each. Dan emphasizes the inherent power dynamics in relationships, arguing that pretending otherwise can lead to harm. Dedeker points out the confusion in language surrounding these terms, suggesting that "hierarchy" often gets conflated with toxic behaviors, while "non-hierarchy" is idealized as a catch-all for ethical practices.
