Is polygamy always abusive?
One of the things that seems to go along with blogging about polygamy is that I get all kinds of comments supporting polygamy and/or polyamory, as well as the odd person who finds threesomes interesting. Goes with the territory, I suppose, but as a polygamy survivor, I continue to find reading such comments painful.
So, for a while I have tried to avoid thinking too deeply about such comments: just take your poly-whatever and shove it, ok? I just don’t even want to deal with it. At all.
Shouldn’t be too difficult not thinking about it, I had thought, as long as I stay away from conservative Muslims—which I do as much as possible, anyway. That’s not too hard where I’m now living.
But when I went to Pride last year, what did I see but a woman wearing a “poly and proud” T-shirt. I tried to look at the Indigo Girls performing up on stage instead, but my eyes kept returning to her shirt despite myself.
And, those pro-polygamy comments are still now and again posted to my site.
And, my older daughter brings up the subject of polygamy nowadays. She wants to talk about how it has affected her.

SHE HAS A VERY INTERESTING SECTION ON WHATS IT IS LIKE FOR HER TO LIVE WITHOUT A VEIL OVER HER FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE HERE.
Her posts pointed me to a sister, Danielle Crittenden, who did a series about what it was like wearing the traditional female slave garbage bag clothes of Muslim women which are now so familiar in the US since we decided it was OK for Muslim males to hold women in slavery in the US as well as in their homeland. Read, Why the Veil Is a Threat.
The US immigration system even allows Muslims in the US to practice polygamy and set up polygamous colonies in the US just like the FLDS in Colorado and Texas. The Muslim slave children are home schooled just as in the Mormon cults or sent to Muslim schools. The African Muslims send the girls home to have their genitals mutilated. And when they are of age, they vote.
Maybe the women who wrote comments on DC's series about the veil
(how D C is racist, culturally insensitive bla bla or the other crap of the male left in their Auntie Tom fembot talk) would be interested in the news that the Equal Pay Act failed in Congress yesterday. Maybe they should understand that the sexism displayed by the media to Hillary is really directed at all women including them. Maybe they should think about the fact that the Equal Rights Amendment failed and women are not guaranteed equal rights in the US. Maybe women should think before they eagerly proclaim veil hatred to be "racist", and their own ignorance progressive.
