    He’ll live long enough to end up on the wrong side of the polygamy rights fight. But I’d like to be surprised.

      I imagine he will be an old and gray man and someone will ask him his opinion and it will probably be like

      Polygamy: Mormons, etc. generally opposes womens rights.

      Polyamory: Ideally places noone above another, elevates everyone to have the healthy connections such that noone is a “3rd wheel” or more disposable. Less about “polycules” recruiting new members, and more about individuals pairing with new partners, and existing partners (initially at least) gaining a metaphor. Mileage may vary and the point is everyone’s needs are a bit different and shouldnt feel pressured to fit neatly into a nuclear box.

      Just fyi.
