For the life of me, I re-read and re-read that post of mine and can’t figure out how someone would read that I support polygamy / multiple wives.
Maybe the word “traditional” is too ill-defined in some people’s minds?
My take was that you were saying that if pro-family folks had more kids, then we wouldn't need demographic measures like polygamy that supposedly produces those higher-demographic families. Right?
My response wasn't so much geared toward your "support" of polygamy as much as it was a demographic mistatement/miscalculation of the effects of polygamy.
I simply pointed out that polygamous moms, on average in the 19th century, produced one child less per polygamous mom compared to non-polygamous moms.
That was it. I was agreeing with another poster about your "miss" in arithmetic; not your worldview per se.
Still, if we're presenting polygamy as a demographic positive, that doesn't match up with either proper math, history, or worldview alliance.
