Time Magazine Endorses 'Polyandry'
'It Makes Economic Sense for a Woman to Have More Than One Husband.'
8:22 AM, Jan 20, 2014 • By DANIEL HALPER
In an article published a couple days ago, Time magazine endorses "Polyandry
," which Merriam-Webster defines as "the state or practice of having more
than one husband or male mate at one time."
"It Makes Economic Sense for a Woman to Have More Than One Husband," reads
the article's headline. The sub-headline reads, "By pooling male resources,
polyandry improves household incomes and combats child poverty."
The author, Judith Warner, says she's "come up with a hot new idea." She
explains:
It’ll boost the marriage rate, combat child poverty, and, very likely,
promote no-cost family planning among the poor – all without any new burden
on taxpayers. It’s polyandry – think “Sister Wives” turned “Brother
Husbands” — and it was inspired by Barbara Ehrenreich, the acerbic author
best known for her 2001 book, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in
America.
At a launch event on Wednesday for the new Shriver Report, A Woman’s
Nation Pushes Back from the Brink, Ehrenreich, who took jobs as a waitress,
nursing-home aide, hotel housekeeper, Wal-Mart associate and maid for a
house-cleaning service to learn first-hand about poverty, shared a fresh new
perspective on the just-say-yes-to-the-dress solution.
“When you say to women, to get out of poverty you should get married, my
question to them is how many men you have to marry,” she said. “Marrying a
10-dollar-an-hour man gets you nowhere, so you’d really have to marry
three or four.”
The audience broke out in laughter. But I think we should take Ehrenreich
seriously. We have to face reality. If low-wage men don’t present women
with much of a good deal, why not double, or triple, or quadruple them up?
Pool resources, boost household income, and promote family values at the
same time? | M*****t
