Is polygamy a direct result of hypergamy (self.MGTOW)

zeromoduser が 投稿

Question is self explanatory. They want the best of everything so sharing is fine. Does this behaviour result in accepted practice of polygamy in some cultures (in the past maybe if not present ). Also polygamy kind of sucks for men in general coz for every 1 men there will be 10 others who would have their reproductive rights taken away. Comments ?

I think it'll vary between cultures and has little to do with hypergamy across the board, but how hypergamy channels itself.

I think women, subconsciously, hate every institution that prohibits them from doing whatever they sexually desire.

That's why they hate all marriage--monogamous, polygamous, or otherwise--because it tells them "you can't have that," even if they want it.

But depending on where she is, she hates different sorts of arrangements. In a monogamous society, she hates monogamous marriage because it doesn't allow her to "trade up" so easily.

In polygamous societies, she has a different problem: the man who has her in a harem is always, himself, "trading in" his old wives for new ones. So she thinks she would have it better under monogamy.

You may think that "polyamourous" or "polyandrous" marriages would be her ideal, but I don't think that sort of arrangement would suit her either in the long run. Why? She has to care about her husbands, especially the one or ones she doesn't like to screw as much and as often.

I mean, look at all the nasty condescension women give to their NiceGuys the moment the NiceGuys get needy or left out. Look at all the stalking and harassment laws they wanted, just so they can weasel out of the emotional obligations they cultivate whenever it suits them.

Now imagine they couldn't just turn the beta orbiters and NiceGuys into the police for stalking and harassment, as they are married to them, giving these nu-males a right to their spouse's time. Imagine, also, the problems women cause men now in divorce, problems like delaying the divorce needlessly, showing how the "neglect" adversely affected the marriage, taking assets far out of proportion to the contribution.

Now imagine that, instead of men, women in polyandrous marriages suffered these problems when the neglected man wants to take it out on her (and her "favorite" husband).

That's why, I think, women cannot ever like marriage, no matter the arrangement. Sure, they like their husbands to be married to them, but they just don't like the obligations any marriage puts onto them.

I think Polygamy is an indirect result of Hypergamy. Serial Monogamy/Hypergamy/Adultery was/is the status quo as it addresses societies needs to sex, reproduction and child-rearing.

That's changing very rapidly, I believe, and Polygamy is an attempt to overcome the contradictions, limitations and ultimate failure of the closed relationship.

As with most other things, Polygamy would probably work more broadly and for more people, were it not for women.

I always thought that polygamy grew out of the need for women to have a husband when mortality was high in men int he historical past. With fewer men to go around, having been thinned out due to accident or war, sharing a husband was better for woemn than no husband at all. As for hypergamy, women could not act on it as outrageously until recently. Now, they will informally "share" an alpha.
