polygamy is evil (I think you mean, "polygyny")

Of course it's much better for successful men to have have mistresses instead of multiple wives, and for single women, even teenage girls, to run wild in the streets and have babies.

And it's better for a successful man to have only one wife, that way a lot of women either end up with losers or alone until they die.

Sure--monogamy is a much better system. But strange, isn't it, that monogamous societies are so rare throughout history, that one would think monagamy abnormal.

Did you miss the memo that this site does not condone or support polygamy?

Marriage is between only one man and one woman.

Aside from that, your presumptions and conclusions are fallacious. Why don’t you ask women who have escaped polygamy? They will tell you it is pure hell and abusive to women.

That's got nothing to do with it. MOST men, if they think about it for a minute, will ask themselves the question "do I want MORE than one mother-in-law?", and the answer almost every time will be H*LL NO!!!!. :)
