and certainly fatherless children raised by highly educated women suffer far fewer drawbacks

Actually, that is a social experiment of very recent vintage, and the data is not in.

I would not presume the result. You have to wait 50 years. Personally, I'm not optimistic.

The few male children of wealthy or privileged unmarried females that I have come to know well do not fill me with hope for the outcome of the experiment.

Feminism pushed the idea that women should be free to be sexually irresponsible. There seemed to be the idea that men were naturally sexually irresponsible, so why not women as well?

I think this premise was flawed from the start. If women are selective in their mating habits, men will be selective in their behavior patterns. Men in (let's say) the 1940s may have wanted, to some degree, to be wild and irresponsible with the ladies but for the most part couldn't get away with that. The result was that men settled down and behaved responsibly in order to find one good woman.

When feminism convinced women to start giving away milk for free, it had the result of convincing men that responsible behavior had little real benefit. This situation has not worked out well for either men or women.

A move to a more moral society would be a great improvement. I suspect that women may have to lead the way by moderating the degree to which they treat sexual relationships as inherently unserious.

A boy hits puberty, and usually moves out of his mother's control. He hangs out local boys as a group, looking up to the leader of group. It forms a gang, and girls attache themselves around this group. They do their own hunter-gatherer thing. In urban setting, it means various illegal acts of violence, robbing, stealing, and drug-dealing. Turfs are ferociously defended as is in the wild.

They became wild(or barbaric,) living in the civilized society but not belong to it. They live by raiding and plundering the civilized productive society.

Modern liberal society is rearing its children as barbarians.

Polygamous has historically implied multiple SPOUSES for the FATHER figure in a ‘family.’

Polyandrous applies to one woman with multiple husbands.

Interesting choice of words, although I get the author’s point.

Promiscuous is the best word??? “Having casual sexual relations frequently with different partners; indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partner(s).

The Left has created a class of culturally feral humans.

I’d rather deal with wild bears and wolves than feral humans.

The riots remind us that polygamous societies are naturally violent

Think roosters.

Those are some good points, but I think the author is confusing polygamy with promiscuity. They are very different behaviors in that polygamous fathers are heads of their households and provide for their children. The ghettos are filled with households where there is no father present.
