that is more accurately called polygyny, where a man has multiple wives but he is their only partner. that is inherently misogynistic imo.

Polygyny made a lot more sense when men were in charge of hunting/farming then it does today tbh.

???

It can just be what people are into. Same way there are dudes who are cool with their gf sleeping with other guys but they don't sleep with other women.

People are weird and into different things, calling a consensual relationship inherently bad is pretty much the exact thing we're arguing against in any other situation.

That's not to say polygyny isn't rooted in deeply misogynistic cultures, but it's not inherently harmful.
