A small polygamous community in Northern Arizona routinely drops off "extra" young men in other towns so that more of "its" women folk are available for marriage to older men. This strains social services. On a large scale polygamous societies are more violent and less productive. I also suspect social benefits become in equal portions abused and unavailable to those who need them. I'm married to two hundred women...where are my health benefits coming from? Civil legal issues abound. And frankly, 190 kids, one dad, 200 moms? Does that sound like an advantageous upbringing?

The symbol of the burka is prima facie harmful. They serve no other function to oppress women.

Disagree with all that. Polyamourous and polygamous are very different.
