"Is polygamy a feminist issue?"

Polygammy is currently one of the most talked about issues in South Africa thanks to our president. It is degrading to woman and robs them from their independance. It is all about power, the more wives a male has, the more power he possesses. Polygamy is male dominant and is therefore a sexest issue. If a woman were to have more than one husband she would be judged and perceived negatively. Therefore, polygamy is indeed a feminist issue.

  1. I just can't beleive how you were able to put so many points in just one paragraph. You could have touched on the womens rights issue though.

  2. Women can't have more than a man because it has been so since the creation of earth. If you read the Bible i think that Abraham himself had more than one wife and not the opposite... So it was meant to be.
