Actually polyandry WAS practiced in early Mormonism. Joseph Smith was married to several women who were already married. In fact Apostle Parley P. Pratt who was murdered in Arkansas was accused of polyandry and killed, by his new wifes current husband.
Oh, puh-leeze.
I was born at night. But it wasn't last night.
Let's see any records of Mormon women with three or more husbands, established in their own households. We can compare it to the endless records of Mormon men with dozens of wives.
Or you could just concede the silliness of pretending there was any significant practice of polyandry. Beyond that, you know perfectly well about those peculiar doctrines doctrines eternal marriage so the discussion is actually quite silly, both historically and theologically.
And I'm not bashing (at this time). But one does expect a certain theological consistency here if we are to regard it as a serious discussion.
