No idea what the thinking is in Thailand, but in some cultures, such as northern India and Nepal, polyandry is a means to keep property intact within a family. No breaking up farms and assets to divide them between multiple descendants, thus avoiding shrinking resources from one generation to the next. Lineage is matrilineal.

I hear the patriarchy gasp while clutching its man-pearls. 😆

Huh. Smurf marriages would be better.

I know there’s a big diagrammatic assumption that “excess” men make soldiers. Not so clear to me that history tells us which way the army will face.

Better: having four cats, or four "roommates" with cats.

In the US anyway, the polyamory community tends to be very women-led, and somewhat hetero. Although there's a lot of bi and pan, and there are certainly gay and lesbian polycules

In China, decades of femicide and gendered abortion, at the demand of the IMF & Club of Rome, has resulted in large numbers of men without any possibility of finding a spouse or having children.

Because one person cannot and should not be “everything you’ll ever need” (sounds like a Swiss Army knife 🤣). My husband has his strong set of qualities that are very important to me in a partner. However, he is lacking in some aspects (like taking long walks and just talking (he talks EVEN LESS then any man I’ve ever known 🤣🤣)) I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world. It would be nice to have one more 😹

I am happy with one husband, however, if it was okay (both societally and with my husband) to have at least one more husband, I would do it ON CONDITION if that person was also very good with all of us and participated with daily tasks. As I have fertility issues, I am not worried about “too many children” problems 😹. Again, it’s all very situational and conditional, not just “sure, 3 more would be great!”🤣
Regarding some men, yeah no thanks 😹

Would I have to sleep with all of them? Would they do the dishes? Would I have to constantly pop out babies?

Would I be able to have my own home that they can't enter unless I invite them? And could I go on vacation, by myself, whenever I wanted to?

Would they clean toilets? Or cook dinner? Or change diapers?

Do these men also have other wives? Do I have to get along with them?

Who is cooking and cleaning?

My guess is that these things were more about social/economic/religious reasons than anything remotely to do with agency.

On the face of it, it looks like it might be an equality thing, but then I see the pic of the guy who's proposing it. Maybe he's just doing it to stir up anti-Muslim sentiment? I don't really know. Anything.

(and I also think that "marriage isn't a word; it's a sentence")
