Give it a rest with the "your boyfriend X" and "your BFF X", please? It was not funny or clever when the trend exploded on tumblr and every gossip site, and now it's over-used, old and not funny or clever.

Wrestling w/pigs is always messy enough without voluntarily diving face-first into the muck, which seems to be the author's tack here.

What's with this idiotic idea that compromise, networking, and communication are feminine traits? When did this thing that most people do get that label? I think you've watched a bit too much Girls, Erin, because that rich, young 25 year old snarky woman isn't what is ruling the scene.

Hmmm.. men invented all the stuff that matters to the 21st century economy, so all the negative consequences in the domestic labor market belong to them as well?

"- 6 feet tall (willing to accept 5'11" if you are *actually* that height - no rounding up, let's be honest here)"

Agreed. No fatties.

I think it's definitely an addiction thing, as you said. Because I identified my food issues as addiction, I treat them like one now. Which basically means I see a slip up as a relapse and I hired a sponsor. I do budget myself slip ups (because the thought of health food for the rest of my life is horrifying), but…

Huh. Looks like the reporter responded to The Wrap article in the comments.

That's the cultural connotation, but polygamy is a general term for multiple marriages regardless of gender. Any law passed would likely make any combination of genders in a marriage legal.

Polygamy =/= Polygyny

You're simply bringing historical and regional associations onto the definition.
Would it be correct to label Homosexuality wrong because of the pedophilia of ancient Greek or that of Afghan radicals?

You're making an assumption about the nature of something based on a small group.

You're looking at it narrowly. I'm not saying that it should be exploitative... In a culture that you're describing, any marriage would be exploitative. But why should consenting adults be allowed to marry who they want? And why…

Polygamy just means multiple marriage- the genders of participants aren't specified.

Sure, but the woman in the relationship has a choice whether or not to be with a man who holds such beliefs. Sorry, never watched the show, but I'm assuming she has the power to "divorce" or leave the union if she wants.

Because consenting adults should be able to marry whoever they choose? Because marriage provides legal protection and the right to marry provides societal validation, both of which are important to many people?

Egh. I mean, I don't think I would do it, but it might work for some people. And I think it would HAVE to be that way. I really think it would have to be a "group marriage", though. as opposed to an additional marriage between one of those people and another person.

Except for thousands of years of historical data... It's not exactly a new concept. Although not the preference of the majority of civilizations, it's been practiced by smaller cultural groups throughout history, primarily as a way to stay economically responsible. I think the biggest issue with polygamy is that in…

So we can adjust the framework.

You shrug about legalizing polygamy?

Because you have the same feelings for all your partners and you want to provide them with equal legal protections under the law.
