Polygamy is generally associated with coercion and compromised rights for women. That is why it is illegal in most western countries.
Incidentally, if two legally aged men and a woman wishe to get married, would you feel the same?

@SunshineGirl Yes, because that would be consenting adults. How are 2+ consenting adults compromising women's rights?

@Therealsteve Exactly. An adult woman making a choice she later regrets .. gets blamed on the man or claims of abuse and rights violations. Not really a fan of polygamy .. but its kind of hypocritical what is/is not upheld by the liberals. A rather capricious lot.

@BrandNewMan It's because everything pushed by "as long as it's two consenting adults" goes against the construction of a large, strong biological family. They are no threat to the state. A resourceful man strong in mind and body with several women of whom he has many children with and can home school with ideas against the status quo is a threat however.

@Therealsteve Except it doesn't really threaten the status quo, does it? This scenario does little other than envisage a traditional hierarchical family unit in which the women have limited agency and the children limited life opportunities. So effectively confirming what has passed for "normal" for centuries.

@SunshineGirl They claim they want their marriages to be biblical. Solomon had what, 10 wives and numerous concubines?

@SunshineGirl Yes, it does. I recommend looking up the Mormon war or other religious identitarian collectivist programs throughout history. I did a bit of it myself, whilst in Malaysia.

@NativePortlander1970 And last time I checked, he was meant to be the wisest man in the world, and the architect of God's most sacred temple...
