We have already had polygamy and we’ve tacitly tolerated it. The thing is that it’s acceptable for men to have mistresses and for men to have ‘long term affairs’ so long as they don’t commit to these women and the children that might occur from these relationships. But if the man commits and calls his mistress or his fling another ‘wife’, oh, then that’s bad.
We’ve also long had polygamy in the form of a man having a wife and family, he gets divorced and marries another woman and starts another family, and so on. That’s a form of socially acceptable polygamy.
And let’s not forget Hugh Hefner and his three live-in women or Charlie Sheen and his two live-in women. That’s also polygamy.
Finally, there’s the legion of urban black males (I’m loathe to call them ‘men’) who consider it a point of pride to have a harem of women with whom they have lots of babies who are all supported at taxpayer expense.
That’s all polygamy.
I say this not to support polygamy but to point out that what you’re concerned about has already been in existence right in front of you for decades.
Thank you! At last....its what I have been saying all along. Its no longer considered deviant, but today its interesting, and in some cases glamorous. Just cloak it in piety and link it to some devout religious practice, and it will become a socially acceptable practice. That’s what reality media does........makes deviant lifestyles acceptable.
