Thanks, I got the humor, what I'm wondering about is what's the predominant reason people in general object to polygamy, regardless of whether it's Islam or Mormons or whatever.

People confuse polygamy with polygyny.

Polygamy is when one person can marry multiple people.

Polygyny is when one person can marry multiple women.

Polyandry is when one person can marry multiple men.

There's no specific word for when one person can marry multiple nonbinary people.

I remember school when the first kid played polyphonic ring signals... Was revolutionary! So much noise

Sounds good 🎶

Polyamory sounds close; if you presume that the other people would be allowed multiple marriages as well.

Just off top of my head.

Inheritance - no explanation needed.

personal time - hard to get quality time and Love is can be selfish.

Issues with accidental incest - my dad side loves cheating. I have lots of half siblings and cousins id never meet all over globe. One uncle had 15ish kids that he knew of. So I dont date my dad's race. Nope train.

The dating market - One less wife available for men leads to anger for those without one. This is why I was told gay men are more accepted in certain cultures than lesbians.

Incels already exist and at the same time the most attractive men have a wife, a mistress, and occasional hookups. So it Wildente necessarily change much. Except the side pieces could have actual rights and more societal respect by becoming wives.

If you want more incels, that's how you get more.

data also shows uneven male to female ratio leads to males being more violent. Specifically against women. Just look at countries with low female to male ratios. Disgusting behavior.

If the male pop was reduced then this argument goes out the window. But that would require a major war or some disease that effects only males.

Men are far more susceptible to be victims of violence, addiction, suicide, incarceration, mental illness, loneliness etc. already.

High male population nowadays is usually caused by elective abortions.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 0 points 11 months ago

Totally agree. Which is why removing more females from the dating pool will make it worse for male populations.
