Re: Should polygamy be illegal?

[chardmonster]

You can't really compare polygamy to polyamory, though. In just about most western models of polygamy (barring poly folks trying to use the term for some damn reason) it's a patriarchal thing. It's always one guy and multiple wives, with a definite power hierarchy.

Polyamorous people who aren't creepy don't work like that.

Re: Should polygamy be illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

But you're just talking about one model of polygamy. Taking the word by its own definition alone, there's nothing that obligates it to only mean one man, multiple wives in a religious conservative context. What else would the opposite of monogamy be? If polyamorous people were to have multiple marriages, "symbolic" or "lawful" regardless, I would assume the correct term describing their situation would be polygamy.

Re: Should polygamy be illegal?

[chardmonster]

Yes, but there's definition and practice. We tend to be concerned about it in the US (and the west in general) because it's following a patriarchal, hierarchical and frequently authoritarian model.

Polyamorous relationships are, again, usually different. I don't see a reason to use a poisoned word.
