The Strength to a Patriarchal Polygyny Based Family

Have you ever wondered about how strong a patriarchal family can be when polygyny is practiced? Many people are quick to set forth an emotional, illogical, and rash position as to why polygyny should not be accepted among the sophisticated, intellectually elite, modern societies. For some the idea of polygyny draws to the mind a mental image of barbarism, tribal days where people live in huts, and where women are degraded and used basically as involuntary sex slaves.

Such an image naturally evokes a strong passionate response from any person whose mind conjures up such images when this term is used. This article, however, attempts to show why a modern, sophisticated, rational culture could embrace polygyny as a valid, safe, and pragmatically stable family structure. Click below and examine more about how beneficial this lifestyle can be economically and pragmatically.

Tried to view said article, but got this instead: "Oops! We ran into some problems. The requested page could not be found."

O.K., I realize this is a very old post - but was curious.
 
Very old post and the link is broken, I am not sure what this originally linked to sorry.
 
I too am sorry about that. It sounded very interesting. I am in Iowa and I fear I may be the only Poly Minded Iowan in existence. Having poly examples (uhhhh, good ones) would probably be the greatest good to the movement. If anyone knows of Polygyny in Iowa, I'd sure appreciate knowing who they might be so I could make contact with them. Although, I would understand it if they wanted to remain unknown. Though I have no wives, I have openly let it be known that I believe in Polygyny and can prove it from the Scriptures. Strangely - no one wants to argue with me. But there are a number who are willing to throw things at me because of my understanding of the Holy Scriptures. Most of them are... ehhhh... uhhhhh... Christians???
