Is monogamous dating too restrictive?

I had this thought today, well after I was blown off by my 'dial a f*ck'
As women are so loving, nurturing and generally bestow this natural connection. Is it fair to say we should be living as woman and woman who grow and nurture each other and our children whilst the men lead their own lives and only seek us to mate with...
Much like lions and lionesses.

What are your thoughts?

I don’t think so.
Obviously the modern family has evolved but I think there’s still those who like some sort of structural family unit that incorporates two parents
(Be it man and woman, two men, or two women, etc)

@KaysHealingPath but you would effectively be raising the young as a village. Or a tribe. Lions, men still do the protecting. But women would do everything else collectively. Think of it like when you organise one of your kids birthday parties, or cousins, all your female siblings and cousins aunties chip in whilst the men so what?

@Peppa thats mostly true, however my husband is very active in the child rearing department so he helps with the kids a lot too, as do most males of my immediate age group. those above 40 don't as much as those under 40.
