416..

I'm saddened, enraged, confused and all around just sick about this polygamy and custody situation in Texas. I think I'm speechless.

Poligamy is something that alwaus makes me think less of women. I guess I can understand some women deciding to share some millionare or ruggedly handsome lethario...but that never seems the case.

I get it from a pure male perspective: Sleep around, spread the seed. But why women put up with it, especially on a level like this, I will never understand.

To me, it's not only the degradation, and what it must do to self-esteem, but it’s the mindset, the sheer amount of brainwashing that must go on. I read, maybe in this article, maybe somewhere else, where these women were emotional and distraught when it came to their children, but start asking them about their lifestyle and their beliefs and the tears stop and the formulaic answers start. That screams ‘brainwashed’ to me.

From my perspective, I’d have an EXTREEMELY hard time doing this. I don’t share well, not when it comes to ‘my man’. I’ve discussed this with other people, and have come to the conclusion that it goes back to the survival of the fittest kind of thing. Go back to Biblical (OT) or Pre-historic type times: Men wanted to spread their seed as much as possible, to get their DNA dominant in the population. Women’s livelihood was tied up in the man providing for them and their offspring, so the more competition you had for what the man was providing, the less your brood might got. That’s where we women want to knock off the competition.
