Consequently, polygyny is NOT compatible with the self-improvement, civilization-protecting message that RVF is most proud to hold and promote.
Phoenix said:Polygyny creates blood thirst. Simple as that. The global birth ratio is 107 men for 100 women. So there's already 7 men going without a wife. Now you add on polygyny. To illustrate: now the top 25 men are getting the 100 women. So you've got 82 men who aren't going to reproduce by decision of the women. What is there best chance to reproduce? It's to rape as many of the wives as possible, and murder as many of the upper class males as possible. The upper class males know this -- so they send them off into bloody, rapey wars with neighbors, so they kill and rape the neighbors instead.
This is part of the reason mistresses are frowned upon and kept hush hush. There must at the very least be the illusion of one man one woman marriages as the norm, to keep the peace.

So who wants to let me at their daughter?
Does anybody want to let me bang their daughter as part of a non-exclusive relationship? Since it's "polygynous" there's no need to worry that I might already be in a relationship with someone else. I will happily screw all of your daughters, preferably at once as part of some kind of crazy Arabian harem fetish thing.
I'm "red pill", so you can totally trust me with them. 100% totally, rock-solid reliable. Look, I've even got rep points, which means I'm sure to be a top-quality catch!

With all due respect, this is just false, unless you were being sarcastic. There is no evidence that supports such views. Assuming that this is not sarcasm, it is armchair theorizing at its worst. There is no patriarchal society in which women do all or most of the work. Men holds power because they do most of the (hard) work. And living in tropical environment doesn't guarantee food security. Life was as tough for many of them as for people elsewhere, if not tougher.
Men from tropical environment, typically patriarchal societies like South East Asia worked very hard in the past and in the present. Much harder than women, and even those women probably also worked harder than Western women. Do you really think that those dudes from patriarchal Japan and China hardly did any work back then?

Your statements can amount to saying that men in tropical area are not masculine, self-reliant and hard-working. As a matter fact (and not of feeling), that's not true. I don't think you meant to say that, and I certainly hope not, but that's what your statements entail. Please think more carefully before you make such statements next time.
I have to agree that Asian women are strong, tough and hard-working though, especially Vietnamese women.

Back to the topic, I'm not arguing that polygyny is superior to monogamy. Just gently reminding that we gotta be more careful in dismissing polygyny (that doesn't have to have anything to do with RVF becoming a polygynous tribe). I myself am wondering why polygyny seems to create such trouble in the current Middle East whereas it seemed to work fine for pre-modern East Asians. It seems to me that polygyny itself is not the main problem. Maybe that's just my bias though, because in where I'm from (Vietnam), polygyny used to be common sense and it still leaves many trace in our language, in such a way the idea never sounds so outrageous to our ears as it is to Western ears.

Phoenix said:I always just wanted one special one who loved me.
Atheistani said:Whatever. Sometimes you need to think out of the box.
I reckon polygamy was always the norm in any society where marriage was an institution. For the simple reason that many men would die in war, many men would die hunting or whatever riskier activities men would have done in those times. Also factor in the number of men who for whatever reason didnt succeed. It's just a case of numbers.
It doesnt really mean most men would be left without, it just means most women can get married.
Anyway, it certainly looks like monogamy is working out well in the West given the divorce rate is only 50% and most women get married at the young age of 30-35. I can see your point. [sarcastic snark]

I would put any money on it:
If a man is capable of being loved by one woman, he is capable of maintaining a polygamous marriage with multiple women.
