Polygamy = man has many wives

Polyamory = person has many partners

As i understand it, it’s all about how much misogyny is at play

    a man with multiple wives is polygyny or a harem.

    polygamy can be any gender, but if I were to guess, polygamy is one-to-many relationship (man with multiple wives, woman with multiple husbands), while polyamory is just a group of people all in a group relationship
