So there's your 'gotcha' Egnever. You were taken in by that fake. I tried to warn you.

So what does this say about YOUR agenda, Egnever? That you attacked me for being correct? I think it says your agenda is a nasty one that targets LGBT posters. That seems clear.

Polymarriage deserves a defense [View all] Wella Jul 2015 OP

Why are these polygamy, plural marriage threads popping up everywhere on DU now? Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #1

I can't speak to the "killing women" threads. I've neither seen nor participated in them. Wella Jul 2015 #3

Inexplicable? No, people are being labeled rightwingers... Zenlitened Jul 2015 #101

So it's not about the facts or the logic: it's about which story you agree with. Wella Jul 2015 #103

Facts and logic? Sure. Outright lies? No. Zenlitened Jul 2015 #108

We ARE in uncharted territory. Take a look at what Kennedy wrote. Wella Jul 2015 #109

You are distorting Kennedy's words. Zenlitened Jul 2015 #110

I am absolutely NOT distorting them. Wella Jul 2015 #111

Well, the OP'er has posted FOUR of them and keeps them going. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #9

reference the third panel Skittles Jul 2015 #32

Not really. It's very dangerous for women and children. bravenak Jul 2015 #2

There are many Americans in polyarrangements raising children Wella Jul 2015 #4

Of course there haven't been reports; these women are probably being threatened and/or Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #5

Any evidence of that? Wella Jul 2015 #8

Plenty of evidence, actually. Baitball Blogger Jul 2015 #162

Lol! I don't deny there are cults out there. But I know several couples in poly relationships. Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #10

How are the women (mis)treated? No one can convince me that somehow these arrangements are Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #14

They do quite well. Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #29

One man can fuck around on many "wives" and be sexually free? That's not liberating to women at all. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #34

Wow. They are quite faithful to their own pairing. Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #43

I don't get out much? NO. I just don't agree that men should treat women like sex slaves or Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #47

I honestly could give two shits what your convinced about. Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #52

Well, good for you! I don't give a shit about your relationship. That's a private thing. Keep that Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #82

Relationships are now a private thing, "shit" that must be kept secret? Fumesucker Jul 2015 #118

So you are saying you are unwilling to listen to anyone laundry_queen Jul 2015 #74

You mad? I don't agree with women being oppressed and will NEVER support that. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #83

Just not alot of Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #121

I will never support women being oppressed either. laundry_queen Jul 2015 #141

I think a lot of people have no idea what modern polymarriage is about. Wella Jul 2015 #59

Thanks, yeah its like talking to Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #120

No kidding. Wella Jul 2015 #123

Yep, its the same "I got mine so fuck everyone else." Scratch the surface of a lot of the Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #125

I can see that. Someone just said that "bigamy" shouldn't be legalized. Wella Jul 2015 #127

Yeah not sure what you would call it. Katashi_itto Jul 2015 #131

Why does it have to be multiple wives? Travis_0004 Jul 2015 #67

That's just crazy talk! tazkcmo Jul 2015 #156

I admit I don't know a lot of poly folks. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #153

Well, I can't speak for Katashi... Chan790 Jul 2015 #233

How does that apply to a relationship of one woman with two men? eridani Jul 2015 #115

Most polygamy in the USA is within those 'weird cult people' communities. bravenak Jul 2015 #6

Religious-based polygamy, yes. But polyamory, especially among progressives and libertarians? No Wella Jul 2015 #11

No. If we legalize it for them then we cannot say shit when the fdls starts more polygamy towns. bravenak Jul 2015 #16

True. But it will be OPEN, not hidden, and that tends to reduce the power of abusers Wella Jul 2015 #21

No thanks. The risks to the women and children are too great. bravenak Jul 2015 #25

You need to check out the million or so Americans practicing polyamory Wella Jul 2015 #33

Uh huh. bravenak Jul 2015 #42

Polyamory: Personal stories Wella Jul 2015 #60

And some ex-slaves missed the Plantation. bravenak Jul 2015 #61

These women went into polyamory by choice Wella Jul 2015 #62

Stockholm syndrome. bravenak Jul 2015 #66

Nonsense! They were looking for different partners and sexual experiences. Wella Jul 2015 #68

I'm fine with polyamory. Just not plural marriage as a system. bravenak Jul 2015 #70

Or maybe a "domestic partnership"? Wella Jul 2015 #71

Not even that. bravenak Jul 2015 #72

Wow. Wella Jul 2015 #75

They don't give a shit about women or children. Just their dicks. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2015 #36

Exactly. bravenak Jul 2015 #41

Check out this link, the OP has very different language about LGBT equality.... Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #151

Wella also doesn't like boycotts against anti gay businesses. bravenak Jul 2015 #160

Of course not. Wella has been very clearly not on the side of marriage equality on several Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #168

Wella has developed a strange affinity for polygamy that I have never seen before. bravenak Jul 2015 #170

This was the one: bravenak Jul 2015 #201

There are polyamorous bisexual women who have a male and female partner Wella Jul 2015 #56

Your incredible bigotry is astounding. TM99 Jul 2015 #58

Thank you. Wella Jul 2015 #63

You are welcome. TM99 Jul 2015 #76

Excellent post. I wish you and your family well. (eom) StevieM Jul 2015 #78

BRIL. thank you. JackInGreen Jul 2015 #112

If they just cared about their dicks, NorthCarolinaL Jul 2015 #65

I agree: polyamory requires multiple commitments. Wella Jul 2015 #80

What about polyamorous women? You seem to be assuming that it is only men. StevieM Jul 2015 #79

Actually, it's likely that the risk-mitigation is in the direction of legalization. Chan790 Jul 2015 #235

Hmm... Orrex Jul 2015 #48

Most polygamy in the USA is among Muslims oberliner Jul 2015 #12

I consider most religious people cult people. bravenak Jul 2015 #20

Figures and stats, please. Wella Jul 2015 #22

Estimates range from 50,000 to 100,000 people. oberliner Jul 2015 #26

Thank you. This refers to traditional religious polygamy and it's done illegally and in secret Wella Jul 2015 #31

That is really interesting oberliner Jul 2015 #35

I think we're all going to be doing a lot more learning Wella Jul 2015 #39

Monogamy has been pretty terrible for women for centuries oberliner Jul 2015 #15

Life has been terrible for women for centuries. kcr Jul 2015 #17

If women given consent freely then it would not be shackling oberliner Jul 2015 #30

Is it okay to pay people below minimum wage if they consent? kcr Jul 2015 #40

This is with respect to marriage oberliner Jul 2015 #44

There's suggestion and then there's the reality of what would actually happen. kcr Jul 2015 #45

I understand where you are coming from oberliner Jul 2015 #49

Okay. But why should we destroy the current model of marriage kcr Jul 2015 #51

you're confusing patriarchy with monogamy. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #19

Would you be ok with polyamory if the overriding system was not patriarchal? Wella Jul 2015 #64

You continue to use the world 'polyamory' when you mean 'polygamy'. The words are not Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #143

I am sorry but you are wrong here. TM99 Jul 2015 #148

You do know that the OP has suggested that standing with LGBT people is 'standing against God'? Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #155

That is bullshit. TM99 Jul 2015 #161

Hey, you are the one who is not speaking of yourself, that is your choice, I assume because you Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #164

TM99 is such a LGBT justice warrior he forgets the Obergefell decision riderinthestorm Jul 2015 #194

Considering Wella was banned for running many accounts the term 'RL persona' might not apply Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #223

In that sense, the OP is wrong. Chan790 Jul 2015 #237

I address Wella, you answer for him. Wella has now been banned as an operator of multiple accounts. Bluenorthwest Jul 2015 #232
