In reply to the discussion: Interesting - is there a progressive argument against polygamy? [View all]misswizard1

Why is it women are not allowed to be angry about something? Some people on this thread appear to be quite threatened by that. Only YOU are allowed to be angry? We are not talking about the end of the Twinkie era, we are talking about a women's issue that has been around for eons, women raised and treated worse than second class citizens.

I don't think there is any argument against it, just a need for serious regulation.

Yes. It is rare, and that rarity is an example of our mostly patriarchal society
