Re: Second wife =home wrecker always?
What does my post have to do with slavery? =/ But since you’ve mentioned it now, I encourage you to look up the statistics of human trafficking in the US/Europe etc. Forget that - just look at how corporations operate in third world countries. If they’re not perpetuating hordes of modern-day slaves, then idk what they are.
The point of my post was to provide context to why polygamy was more popular in the rest of the world vs the West. It doesn’t make polygamy better than monogamy… or vice versa. If it works in the West for hundreds of years, sure, then monogamy def has pros. But if polygamy has also worked for hundreds of years in other societies, then it must have some benefit to that group in that specific context. Rather than labeling all differing ways of life (from the Western model) as barbaric, try to understand them and you might see why people do what they do.
Also - what is it with your creepy love-affair with the West? It’s perfectly OK to acknowledge that the Western model has flaws, and the entire system in general has committed heinous acts in the rest of the world. It won’t make you less Amreekan, trust me.
