This does not surprise Professor Collis Machoko, a renowned academic on the topic.
The objections are "about control," he told the BBC. "African societies are not ready for true equality. We don't know what to do with women we cannot control."
That this is the second and third paragraph is more interesting than this whole proposal, which will surely go nowhere. Renowned academic? Surely, you are joking. And nice slam at 'African societies'. It's funny that the radical left everywhere is trying to destroy society from within, whether in Europe, America or Africa.
The entire article is littered with quotes from this raving imbecile.
Businessman and TV personality Musa Mseleku - who has four wives - is among those opposed to polyandry.
"This will destroy African culture. What about the children of those people? How will they know their identity?" asks Mr Mseleku, who stars in a South African reality TV show about his polygamous family.
I mean, while polygamy is a great evil and a relic of barbarism, he is not wrong about this.
Prof Machoko said he was unaware of polyandrous marriages in South Africa. Nevertheless, gender rights activists have asked the government to legalise such unions in the interest of equality and choice, as the law currently permits a man to take more than one wife.
If your right arm is infected and at risk of amputation, the response is not to amputate your left arm in the interests of equality so called, but to try to heal your right arm.
Margaret Mead was bamboozled by some tribesman ( I think some girl children?) in the Pacific, who fed her the garbage that supported her ideology, so I'm not sure what a reliable source she is. But her and her teacher were instrumental in spreading the evil that is cultural relativism, amongst other things.
LOL, some gold The origins of the very violent personalities of Aboriginals are, of course, in no way caused by genetic differences, only developmental. Thousands of Aboriginals have been removed from their parents and brought up by modern city parents and they turn out to have personalities indistinguishable from others in their adoptive families. Yeah it's not genetic at all and they turned out just like us. My goodness the lies.
Is the "misogyny" argument being used against Africans proof that none of this is about race and the reason that there seems to be a racial component in leftist ideology is simply because of voting demographics?
I think race, like gender, is a cover. In that they are not actually trying to ensure the well-being of people based on either gender or race, no more than the white supremacists of old were trying to ensure the well-being of whites rather than their political advantage.
I don't agree with that, I think it's clear that whatever elite is actually running the show wants women to be above men. But yes, race is definitely a cover, and the white nationalists fall for it every time.
South Africa has one of the world's most liberal constitutions, embracing same-sex marriages for all and polygamy for men --- Hey if it's good for the gander. But seriously, object to both like you should, not just the one.
Polygamous marriages are quite common amongst some peoples in South Africa - that is, having many wives. As is curb stomping and/or gang raping said wives for shits and giggles. I dont see this becoming a major trend.
That is an argument of the "crime is falling and therefore don't matter"-tier. Falling marriage rates in no way negate the fact that nearly everyone gets married. Also that married men are healthier, live longer and earn more.

Holy fucking hell.
Jesus fucking christ. We have nuclear weapons and haven't used them on these demons?!
What in the world...

Interestingly mao was often portrayed as motherly. There is a line in authoritarian leftist thought that is matriarchal
There is no reason at all for them to want that. But there is plenty of reason to try to incite men against women and vice versa. Same for the races.
It was a mistake that Africans were given power to rule their naitons.
South Africa was not a Black nation.
Yeah, because white ruled nations are doing great.
We're all in the same boat and women are trying to sink it.
sounds like foreign invasion
Guess where we know where Josphine Smith came back to.

Let's hope this insane idea stays in South Africa, unlike their Covid variant did.

You should be happy. The value of a commodity that is more scarce will be higher.
My value could be enough to get me a wife that would give me $1m a day and I'd still rather not be married.
You can divorce her and have 70 Ferraris to spare.
Is it worth the mental trauma?
You do know nearly everyone marries at least once, right? Is everyone traumatized?
Marriage rates have never been lower and continue to fall, so this isn't true.
That is an argument of the "crime is falling and therefore don't matter"-tier. Falling marriage rates in no way negate the fact that nearly everyone gets married. Also that married men are healthier, live longer and earn more.
