It’s funny how there are so many men on forum insisting that women are happy with polygamy - let’s hear from the women who are in a polygamous relationship and how they truly feel. Every single one I have seen, the woman has stayed put in the marriage because she had no where to go, no independent means, was threatened with divorce otherwise, did not want to lose her children.
And most of those claiming to be happy with the situation are putting a brave face on it - nobody wants to admit to living in a state of humiliation.
Personally, I think fidelity is the least you can expect from a man you’ve committed to spending your life with. It’s a reciprocal commitment and if my future hubby was unfaithful - had a girlfriend/mistress/another wife - I’d cut his ---- off.

What’s with asking women to support polygamy - it’s like asking turkeys to vote for thanksgiving.

You seem unable to grasp the concept of cultural brainwashing so let me illustrate with a more suitable example.

Assuming you’re a Muslim from a relatively conservative background, you wouldn’t believe in pre-marital sex or living together. There are people who would think that you’re nuts for believing that. See how culture makes a difference?

Western culture openly drinks and celebrates alcohol, yet abhors marijuana, when the latter is far less harmful. Just because most people in society consider marijuana to be harmful and evil, doesn’t mean that it actually is.

You and I have been raised in cultures where polygamy is unusual, and condemned, and thus, both of us think that it is a strange arrangement. However, I recognize that I am biased, having lived in a monogamous culture, whereas you assume that cultural perceptions are fact. To state that every single woman in a polygamous relationship was forced to enter it, is an absurd claim. Is this the case for the vast majority of women? Probably. On the other hand, if Bill Gates decided he wants a second wife, you would still judge him, even though he would be able to provide her with a lifestyle that 99.9% of men could not.
