My initial thoughts are that men will be more likely to have multiple wives than the reverse.
Your comment spurred a thought.
Knowing how when women get together and their cycles all line up, what man in his right mind would want to try to handle seven women all with PMS at the very same time?
Yes, that’s true. There might be instances where women will have an older husband and a boy-toy for fun, but in general, women want stable money. The vast majority of women have no appetite for risk, they want a nice, steady income or a large pile of cash to make it easy for them to sleep at night. Perhaps about 50% of women are willing to sell their souls to the devil for this stability. They’ll accept polygamy much more readily, just as they’ve bought into the welfare state at much higher rates than men have.
What men want in a woman is less nagging, more sex and more cooking. Women who would keep more than one man aren’t likely to be doing a whole lot of sex for all the men, and I’ll wager they won’t be doing any cooking. Why would any man go into this type of situation unless he has absolutely no potential to get some woman by other means?
As I said, this will implode on the feminists, most of whom are actually looking for very high-earning alpha males. Even that moron Gloria Steinem (”a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”) married up - way, way up. A guy who, when they married, was worth something like $70M.
Sandra Fluke? Her boy toy is a very rich European Jewish socialist. Old money. Likes to goof off banging his fists on a gut-fiddle.
I can name others, but if you noodle around yourself, you’ll see the trend.
Now, imagine a world where polygamy is legal. Suddenly, those very well-to-do men don’t have to put up with even one feminist at home, no matter how much of a tiger in the sack she might be. He could have a whole bunch of women, most all of whom will likely be a whole lot more pleasant to be around than a feminist. The feminists will do a lot of tut-tutting in print, they’ll campaign against the situation, but once men can legitimize having multiple wives? Hey, you know that some men will go for it, eight days a week, and more to the point, it will be the rich, influential men who will benefit disporportionately from polygamy.
Then there’s the other kink: As soon as this is legalized, the big religious supporters of this won’t be the FLDS - it will be the Muslims, who are allowed up to four wives if they can support them all. Well, the FLDS has shown the way on that one - “marry” only one in a civil ceremony, marry the rest in a religious ceremony (to keep them off the public record), then have the other three apply for AFDC, SNAP, etc for their support.
As I said: Feminism will go extinct within two generations. Oh, there will continue to be the bitter-pill feminists, most of whom are shrew-like female Jewish socialists with far more education than they have actual IQ points. The Muslims will take care of this and cow them into silence.
Everyone deserves what they want, good and hard. In legalizing polygamy, the feminists who wanted to eliminate men from society will get what they worked for - good and hard.
