I do believe you are correct.
What is the penalty for Polyandry?
Putting up with a bunch of pricks?
Every argument for homo “marriage” can be made for polygamy.
Every argument for homo “marriage” can be made for polyandry.
Every argument for homo “marriage” can be made for marriage to near kin.
It’s just a matter of time. The ultimate goal is to render marriage meaningless, and remove it as the pillar of humankind and protector of yes, women and children.
“how free people living in a free society cohabitate.”
The children aren’t free. They are subject to all the disastrous results from all this crapping around.
‘It’s that no one has figured out how to legally divide the assets when the husband and one of the wives decide to divorce.’
It’s also terrible for child rearing, particularly males.
It also doesn’t work at all with social benefits of any kind, from the bad (welfare) to the good (liability, inheritance, testimony).
“In this age of bed-em, wed-em, and shed-em we have already established a culture in serial polygamy,”
I agree that easy divorce laws and cultural celebration of shacking up and out of wedlock childbirth was the first chopping of the ax.
Homo marriage is the next.
More to come, unless we stop it.
Of course the liberals’ solution will be to abolish spousal immunity. Another nail in the coffin.
One of Steyn’s best . . . and that’s saying something. I just howled. Go get’em Mark.
Polygamy doesn’t work that way. It’s more like a slave racket. Any wife getting out of line is easily discarded since replacements are already in place.
My point is that we are not elevating polygamy and same sex marriage to an esteemed social standard, we are diminishing an institution that the very best of western culture is based upon; the committed nuclear family.
If you were to ask those who founded this country, and risked everything in the process, what their personal priorities were the country would be third behind God and family. The country was only founded to secure the first two.
In this era, where both God and family, are made to be either irrelevant or legally subservient, the only thing that is left is government, by, of and for government.
And after that , the beastiality people get in line. You don't think so, just wait. Since marriage is now deemed to be "all about love" rather than a stable relationship in which to raise children, which benefits society; who is to say what "love" is eligible, and which is not.
For exactly that reason, I plan to marry my computer.
Just as true of Polyandry, Plural Marriage,(and)Incestuous Unions
True but irrelevant. When it comes to gay marriage it's the legal/societal expression of a failed line of genetic code. One that says, 'Attempt reproduction with your own gender.'
Now I may have bailed out of med school but I know they covered this in the first day - and it ain't gonna work!
Well then there's the divorce lawyers...never mind.
