Reader comment on item: Harems Accepted in the West
Submitted by Vichy Fournier (United States), Apr 8, 2011 at 18:30
I don't know why you ... all think there is anything so great about legally enforced monogamy. Who gives a darn how many wives your neighbor has? Mind your own business. All it is is some Greco-Roman cultural prejudice. Monogamy is the reason you round-eyes are dying off.
