- fasthands9 3y agoThe link you sent is polygyny, in which one man has many wives who are all his. The woman is not allowed to have more than one partner. It's perfectly acceptable for someone to write an article on trends in America or New York (it is still called The New Yorker after all) even if something similar existed once and waned in popularity before modern times. Imagine if someone saw that homeschooling rates were up in the US over ten years. Would you not want people to write on that - because 5,000 years ago technically everyone was taught by family members?
