How do you win over a tired, jaded boinkologist? By mentioning polygamy, duh!

This week’s award goes to newcomer Piggythewonderdog, who offered this analogy in response to Blakeley’s musings about power, gender, and infidelity:

Analogy to the polygamy case in Texas: In every society throughout history that practices polygamy, it’s always been rich powerful men who acquire multiple wives (concubines). The FLDS polygamists are always MEN who end up having multiple wives, never the other way around. Is there a single female polygamist in that Texas compound? No way.

Hillary + hypothetical boy-toy interns = instant ex-First-Lady
Mormon sect female + hypothetical male concubines = instant excommunication

Bill + female intern = infidelity that’s ultimately forgiven
Mormon sect male leaders + young girls = polygamy & child rape that’s still difficult to prosecute

So to me, Hilary is very much in the same boat as those pathetic women in pioneer dresses who perpetuate the double-standard. Sad but true.

Well put! To reward you, we’re presenting you with a (prevent-a-)family pack of condoms. There’s enough in there for all your wives. Or husbands. Or both. Whatever.
