"Older men should educate younger men about polygamy instead of condemning it on scripted shows. How can a man who has married multiple wives now say polygamy is bad? If those wives leave, he’ll likely marry again.The truth is, marrying one bad woman can ruin a man’s life, but polygamy can provide balance and security. Men should be honest about their polygamous nature from the start. As a father of two sons, I’ll teach them that polygamy is the best way to protect a man’s well-being. Society should accept it as a practical choice."
