Don't know how you can stop even multi-M/multi-F arrangements once the genie is out of the bottle. Polygamy is far closer to normal than gay marriage and has been used by societies throughout history to deal with a surplus of females. Almost every warring Native American tribe practiced polygamy. The alternatives such female abandonment, femaile infanticide, etc. were far, far worse.

I don't think the lunkheads promoting gay marriage failed to realize this. In fact, I think it was their objective.

I agree if by polygamy they mean a man with multiple wives. A woman with multiple men fathering children is just an unwed mother.

Actually as a Christian I think you can make a better case for polygamy than I can divorce. Make marriage until death do you part. If a man can have more than one wife he doesn’t need to divorce. I guarantee you, as in China until 1926 when they outlawed polygamy that first wife could make the second wives’ life a living Hell and probably would.

A step farther - if you have a child with a woman who is not married she is your wife and has claim on then man’s resources.

If a man lives with a woman for more than 90 days or if they have a joint lease on a domicile or bank account, they are married. I laugh at the couples I sometimes meet that have three children together and say “Oh we’re not married”

The problem is that unlike the ancient world where men died young the population is not 60% women and 40% men. So the value of women for wives would rise exponentially because no man wants to marry a sl*t or retired wh*re.

I’d rather see a man be able to have multiple wives that he SUPPORTS than divorce, abandon remarry and then repeat but that is just me

I think this might actually backfire on the progressives
