I think they have a point as well.

In the past you could probably make a case that polygamy was about male control and ownership of women, so that would be a reason against it I guess.

But women are equal now (well supposedly, speaking ideal situation), so that shouldn't be an issue (at least not a systemic issue, individual relationships can be about power and control in a 1:1 relationship, nothing we can legislate to protect against that beyond restricting violence).

So yeah, I have the same question. What would be wrong with polygamy if it's between consenting groups of adults?
