I think Karen underestimates the movement Nothing in that article tells us the size of the movement. That there are people who would engage in polygamy I acknowledged. I believe I said there are people who would do anything. <<Yet in many polygamous societies, even though only 10 or 15 percent of men may actually have multiple wives>> I stand by my statement that very few would choose polygamy. Polygamy is advantageous for women only where they are desperate for financial support and have no other options. As long as women are educated in this country and have equal access to employment, only a trivial number would opt for polygamy.
