I agree the oppression of women is a horrible thing, but that's not a plural marriage issue it's an issue with the people doing the oppression, wouldn't you say? I also don't know that I would agree that the large majority of pluralized marriage involve oppression of women, since it's all done in secret for the most part because it is illegal I think stats are difficult to find. I also don't know that pluralized marriage is the CAUSE of oppression of women, but rather the result of the man doing the oppressing.

You feel because some religious people like it then it must be bad? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
Religious people want plural marriage = Must be Illegal
Religious people don't want gay marriage = Must be Legal

I didn't see that you asked me for my stance before. I think government should get out of the marriage.
