As the matriarchal/homosexual reign begins to sweep across the North American nations some women are getting wise to the concept of democracy. As more and more television exposure is being released with coverage of women who are content to live polygynously other women are rethinking values. Rarely are there ever examples of women beaten, physically abused, or pimped out for prostitution, or worse. For many women today, this is a vast improvement to the sort of lifestyle that they are personally accustomed to. Viewers begin to take note that most of these women portrayed on TV - EVEN THE DESERTERS - have nice clothing, look healthy, and are obviously strong enough and free enough to speak up if they should have anything on their minds. Also the children are usually well cared for and their material needs are well met.
It's almost too good to be true for a woman who has lived in a street ghetto surrounded with crackhouses, disease, and teen age prostitution. I was honestly wondering when the wiser women would finally catch onto the "catch" and it would appear that many already have. What may not have occured to some of our more polygynist oriented males is the fact that women in this capacity do indeed have MORE STRENGTH & SAFETY in numbers. If these women really don't like something that their husband is adamant to demand should be, they are surely in a much better position to defend their position in plural than the poor woman living in an abusive but "monogamous" marriage is. That "monogamous" man has no cause to fear the presense of legal witnesses such as SISTER WIVES who are able to testify freely, in a court of law, on their sister's behalf.
On the whole, women are not stupid. They also know that women who "escape" from polygynist marriages can appeal to the government for protection and certainly get it. Meanwhile, a man with a multitude of wives is not inclined to fight so hard to hang onto that "only wife" because she likely isn't his only wife anyway. No, he will inevitably "let her go" without too much fuss -- after all, why would he really want to contend with the law? (Especially when he has wives that are much more loyal and dedicated to him.) Aaaaah, but that is the crux of it! We can't have submissive and obedient wives in our neo-feminist, unisexual, homo-egalitarian, "democratic" republic, now can we?
Where is the level playing field in a "civil" marriage for the husband?
A: While it is true that traditionally, the husband did not have a fair playing field when he was forced to divorce an adulterous wife it is also true that times are changing. There was once a time that his adulterous wife could take him to the cleaners any time she wanted because she had him over a big barrel labeled "CIVIL MONOGAMY" but now we witness husbands that are getting the custody of their children and the child support payments because the wife is more concerned about living for the world and the things that are in it. Ironically it is the female judges who seem to be the ones far less likely to be fooled by a Jezebel spirit than the male judges. Incredible irony is running its course in Canadian justice these days.
But let's be realistic: This practice of "gold digging" will only work in the heterosexual model of society and only for so long. Same sex divorces are already becoming popular in our brave new feces loving society. The real goal of contractual and "civil" marriage was to make merchandise of the masses and it worked phenomenally well, considering the fact that the licensing of marriage is a practice that is barely over a century old. Now that men are giving up on women with respect to heterosexual relationships and women are now joining to other women in all sorts of "unions" for strength and support rather than to men, the bottom of the glamorous marital safety net is about to fall out.
If over 69% of the North American wealth already belongs to the women and children... then for most women, the available dividends to be gained by sucking the neo-feminist cash cow of a husband dry are rapidly diminishing. People are tired of the plaintive cries of "no child support and no alimony" whining away like an old cassette tape recording with the magnetic film wearing thin. Some judges today are also women, many of whom tend to grow weary of hearing the stories of violent and hard-headed (if not hard-hearted) wives of ill repute. Such reminders are all too common for those women who have learned the hard way and these reminders are also increasing in number. As women continue to carve out their independant lives, the court systems are also re-evaluating the situation in terms of the "higher income earner" and the dependants. Divorce isn't paying out anymore like it used to for the oxymoronic "serial monogamists" while more and more married men with children are just throwing up their hands and commiting suicide than ever before. The suicide and depression rate for this category already excels that of women and teens in Canada to such an extent that in several cases the suicide rate is four times higher for men. It's time for a new plan. I am left with little choice but to admire and commend the fairer sex for this rather prudent approach to a pending marital reality:

With respect to these "victims of oppression" that we occasionally hear about in the media, I have witnessed dozens of examples of these "escapees" from so-called religious polygynous cults and I've noticed something rather profound about them. These women from such marriages don't have broken jaws, their teeth look in good shape, they seem fairly healthy looking, and many appear to be "well preserved" for their ages if not well cared for. Some also appear to be very well educated. You know, to be honest, it really causes me to wonder... could it be possible that there is strength and safety in numbers afterall and the television reporters are just not telling us the rest of the story?
Aside from these dozens of "victims of polygamy" (and I've listened to the stories)... there are thousands of women who seem quite content to stay where they are until something "better" should come their way. Yet we hear no reports of them being shot by their "pimp daddies", no reports of them being beaten to a pulp and whipped into submission by controlling and domineering egocentric husbands, no reports of starvation or malnutrition, or torture, or broken bones. Sorry - verbal abuse won't cut it. In the real world I have come to know, women are easily as verbal as men and can be ten times as abusive in this respect. hmmm...
Am I missing something here?
If we did a study on the actual percentage (per capita) of those women escaping from "abusive husbands" in so-called "civil" monogamous marriages, encompassing all of the "divorce", "crime", "neglect", "violence", "addiction", including all those actual adultery (woman that breaketh wedlock) rates, etc. in both groups, I do think that the results would be very startling to those who would pride themselves in the secular government endorsed monogamy contract. I submit that it would be to the shame of the so-called monogamists.
No worries: It looks like the wiser women are finally catching onto the benefits. Yes, there is strength and safety in numbers.
