What if it is not about sex though? If we are not all on the same page with respect to the notion that one does not engage in polygamy simply to have an additional sexual partner...then I don't know what to tell you.
The primary problem is that claiming that it's all about sex is the gynocentric go-to argument for women attempting to discredit polygyny -- which is a matter of projection on their part. because, for them, it either is or would be all about sex. They want your sex all to themselves, so instead of just owning that they're selfish and undeservedly territorial, women tend to claim that all you want is more pussy -- which, by the way, tells you all you need to know about which gender is
really responsible for promoting women as sex objects: that's their primary marketing tool, and often they hypnotize
us into thinking that there is something overwhelmingly magical about what they do with their individual vaginas.
Just an extension of the standard bit where women are the sexual gatekeepers and by extension have the higher market value.
But women do
not have the higher marketplace value, if for no other reason than that they outnumber us and by definition do not have a sufficient pool of men to keep themselves covered if they're unwilling to share.
Based on the presumption that it is not some sort of hedonistic blather but instead welcoming someone new and most of the time with limited material assets or skills without high market value to an established family with all of the safety and security inherent over and above being a struggling single woman in a small apartment and a crappy cog in a machine job...seems like a family with home(s), assets and security aught to be pretty valuable. More valuable in this marketplace by far that the potential assessment single women seem to believe.
You and I have discussed this in person on more than one occasion. Yes, as men we're interested in additional and more varied sex, so some of us are willing to take on a whole 'nother woman because of that -- but that we are sexual creatures (which women also are, by the way) doesn't in the least negate the fact that having a heart for being married to multiple women is a posture of
tremendous generosity. I, for one, am hitting peak gag response listening to any argument against polygyny that doesn't keep that
fact front and center!
P.S. Love your new photo.
