BoP, HERE'S the quote I like from your link:
"They are our enemies and so we marry them." We still do that TODAY! Or is it the reverse??? There was this one original Star Trek episode where Kirk & Co. beamed down to a planet. All the women lived in civilized fashion in subterranean cities. The men lived in a primitive state on the surface and referred to the women as "givers of pleasure and pain"... it was spoofed in a dream scene on "Wonder Years"... hilarious! What would cultural anthropology say about THAT one? |

Polygamy is an interesting thing.. but notice its always the guy with many wives? Maybe he likes viriety, or maybe an orgy with some sense of legitmacy, after all, he is "married" to them all. ow about a case where a woman has several husbands? They are usually called sluts, but why is it there are no polygamist women?

A perfect example is how Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot run for President of the US. Did voters take away his right to do this? Yes - because they thought that the best interests of the country were served to say that presidents had to have been born here. And over half the people of the US think it's in the best interests of the country for marriage to be between a man and a woman. But I suppose we should move this back over to the other thread!

Polyandry is the practice of women having more than one husband.
It could be argued that people who try to redefine an institution such as marriage to fit their personnal needs are small-minded and self-centered. |

Is this about right? I'll discuss the rest of the post when you are satisfied that I clearly understand what you are saying.

Polygamy gets into sticky issues because of tax benefits and deductions and things. I'm not necessarily for or against polygamy. I do think the majority of wives are ill treated though and seem to be used just for sex and child rearing purposes. They seem to always be treated as second class citizens and subservient by their husbands. That I do not like.
