Poly-this, poly-that

One of the base, simplistic, reactions to the last post is often, why polygamy, why not polyandry? I’m for poly-anything as long as it works in a social setting to the betterment of all involved. I don’t actually think polygamy would work in a setting that is based on Pauline (St Paul) Christian values. Or say, a post-modern Western urban setting. The woman has evolved weaker, physically, than the male and therefore, quite simply, will struggle to overthrow a polygamist regime and replace it with a polyandrist one. Guile and charm can always be employed of course, but, unlikely.
