We've just had longer to refine it into being a more equitable situation for the woman involved.
I agree with you completely; polygynous relationships tend to be less than ideal for the women involved. But I think that given time, society could iron out the kinks.

This, and legal recognition of it, is precisely why marriage has become an Equal Protection issue.

Because they are both violations of the paradigm of genuine marriage. Like it or not.

I have no problem with polygamy being legal, but marriage is a privilege and can be limited to two.

Yes, but only if its equal. Multi-people relationships should be more acceptable by society.

Legalize polygamy and create a familymaking process, but don't cover polygamy under marriage.
