Bible thumpers: Relax.
Read up on polygamy.
Now even you great family guys, think about it.
Three women each demanding your attention, each with their own ideas about what the thermostat should be set on, what kind of food, when to go to bed, what the kids are allowed to do.
Now compound that with three kids from each woman........
Most men can’t raise the money to send one to college. They certainly can’t send nine to college.
Only a few men will live under that kind of pressure.
Proponents can romanticize about it all they want, the fact is that only a few could manage it.
Polygyny is based on the total subservience of the wives. Without that interwival jealousy tears it up one way or another.
True.
But that will not save the rest of us from paying for the party.
You assume that all or any of the women shall bear children.
I'm all for polygamy if that means some gals supporting me when I'm old and crotchety.
