I guess my point is that these children are not raised in open society and know nothing else. The 'bitches' flocking to Hef know what they're getting. The girls in Bountiful are in essence brain washed into believing this is right.
I don't care about polygamy in multiple consenting adults going into the marriage knowing all their options. In fact, if that's what you want to do, all the power to you. However, people in such a relationship would have to live in society in order to know that's what they want. The women of Bountiful don't.

Brain washing is an interesting concept as some would argue that is why major religions often tackle young people more than anything. They are still open to shaping and forming major beliefs. Is that by nature wrong and something that should be protected against? How about the Amish or similar? Oiler fans?
I agree with you by the way, just tossing that out there.
