I think there's a lot to be said for bigamy. Women are social creatures. It would be a nice choice to have. Of course I think Polyandry ought to be a choice on the menu too- I just don't think it's as workable, given the biological predispositions of men and women. But let people give it a try- that's what I say.

Exactly! And so would most women, if the social stigma was not attached. And this would raise the quality of married life for women as a whole because some would leave their abusive husband for a tried and true stock down the block. Polygamy increases the supply of available men; women would no longer have to face the problem of "all the good ones are taken".
