@csolisr@hub.azkware.net iirc thailand is majority buddhist and doesn't allow such?
Thai law, which states, "A man or a woman cannot marry each other while one of them has a spouse."[5]

I don’t think I know any straight women who want more than one
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
@NilaJones @skinnylatte As someone close to the ace end of the spectrum, I want to find a lavender polycule.

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.
Xi is happy with the potential for an instant army

However, it's resulted in the traffic of women from neighboring countries

Ah. 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.

wikipediaThat makes this law project even more bizarre, yeah. The four wives rule is applied outside of Thailand - the gender parity measure of four husbands would be merely virtue signaling in a Buddhist-majority country -
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io why???
what could possibly be the reasoning for this@piku @skinnylatte
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.

@skinnylatte So, you maybe know of some non-straight women who might?

@skinnylatte does Thailand have a law allowing men to have up to 4 wives and they're pushing for parity as a way to show how ridiculous it is?
