Polygamy Should be re-embraced
Polygamy should be allowed, so long as everyone involved is of legal age, has consented, is not under coercion and are not hurting others. What consenting adults do is no one else's business.

What does it even mean to re-embrace it? It was never mainstream in the USA, and even Mormons made that practice illegal before Utah became part of the USA.
Are you talking about turning yourself into the new Joseph Smith, Jim Jones or David Koresh?
Otherwise, people, in the USA, Western Europe and other parts of Europe, are free to do whatever they want. Legally, you don't need to be married to enjoy the protections afforded by law (inheritance, etc).
So, there's really no need to re-embrace anything at all. Check out what Elon Musk is doing now: he built a compound near Austin, Texas where all his concubines and baby mommas, along with their offspring live. If anyone in his Harem has a complaint, they take it to civil court.
You can't afford it, try (or maybe that's what you're doing) starting a movement on SW (like some do), looking for vulnerable women to join. There's still the question of who pays for what, but maybe you have a bottomless checking account... 🤣

It's not, and I stated it clearly. Of course if you say you're from Saudi Arabia, then this is a moot point, right? Re-read my comment.
I didn't realise the whole world was the U.S

@Northwest Then what was the point in mentioning the US, and so prominently that you mentioned it before anything else? I read your comment.

@RequiemAeternam I am glad.
"What consenting adults do is no one else's business." It seems to those who wish us to be weak and dependent, that only applies to things people do that weaken themselves.

@HowtoDestroyAngels Ah, so what the case is is you pick and choose what consenting adults should or should not be allowed to do. You wish to impose your narrow mindedness in ways that deny the rights of specific groups based on your personal prejudices.
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
@Therealsteve No, it's that when I love someone, I love that person. I believe that love should be between two people who share a bond.
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@HowtoDestroyAngels I agree. Now, if consented to, what is stopping a man from having a two-person dynamic bond in multiples? I don't see why that should be small-mindedly prevented. Bigots making that decision should get their own houses in order before they dictate on the lives of other, happier adults.

What are you struggling to grasp?

@gregloa You are the one who just asked me a question and are struggling to grasp what I've told you. Not that I think you are. You thought you'd get a gotcha moment assuming I'd disagree with polyandry, which I don't and so now you want to derail the exchange.
If an adult male wishes to marry several adult women all of whom consent; or if an adult woman wants to marry several adult men and they all consent then that's their business.
"that's what I thought" assuming something before I'd replied. You were looking to assume something and you didn't get that assumption confirmed when I did respond, and so you want to derail the whole thing. Pathetic.

That is the way things are going. I'll probably live long enough to hear things like "why are we letting ourselves get held back by sex-negative 'legal age' restrictions? Love is love"

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Polygamy is the norm of all mammals, us being mammals. It was the norm for hundreds of thousands of years of human history and it was only pushed back just as the modern LGBTQ+ movement reared its head.
ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 51-55, M
@Therealsteve it was pushed back when???? It was pushed back a long time before LGBT lifestyles became fashionable!

@RogueLodyte No is forcing you to be polygamous.

Since when polygamy isnt legal?
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@auris Try legally marrying to wives.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
has anyone ever engaged in polygamy without it being a maladaptive response to poor relationship foundations?
Bumbles · 51-55, M
Legally it’s too complicated for there two be so many marriages.
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@Bumbles That would be remedied by the fact that it's no one else's business. There is nothing complicated if you keep your nose out of the private lives of other adults.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Therealsteve The state is very much involved: marriage licenses, divorce courts, child custody, probate. Polygamy would clog up up the courts and must remain illegal.

Monogamy is pure folly.
Just get the LGBTQ community on board. Polygamy would be legalized in 6 months.
Therealsteve · 31-35, M
@RoguishEyes Unfortunately, LGBTQ+ is the inverted antithesis of polygamy.
