37. Although polygamists proclaim equality for women, I have no

Edited on Wed Nov-22-06 12:42 PM by hedgehog

knowledge of any society in which polygamy didn't lead to treating women as chattel. Inevitably, the woman's fertility becomes her only value.

On a lighter note, just how does the guy end up finding his second, third etc wives? I'm imagining him coming home and saying "Don't bother with supper for me tonight hon, I've got a hot date!"
