Maybe the men who get left out? Maybe the daughters who are given away as soon as they reach puberty (which can be as young as 10)? How about the women, who lose most if not all of their freedom? Or the young boys, when they reach puberty and are forced out of the community (so that the old geezers get the young “celestial brides”)? Or the kids who never get to know their fathers, who have little time for individual guidance (one guy had 35 kids)—haven’t we seen what that does to families in some areas of our cities already? And we want more of that?

Not to mention the girls who will never have a REAL marriage.

But none of those things are inherent features of polygamy. They’re just features of the FLDS way of practicing polygamy.
