I have watched Sister Wives from the beginning and this episode confirmed my assessment that Kody, like other men who believe in polygamy, is deluded and self-serving. The idea that men biologically want/need more women so polygamy makes sense, is just juvenile. Everybody wants more sex. Everyone is attracted to others, even when they are committed monogamists. There is nothing special about men in this regard.
Marriage can be a wonderful and fulfilling partnership. But I posit that no one who believes in patriarchy truly has a partnership. Even if you believe you have a partnership, there is an element of inequity.
While I see the draw for some women to polygamy, the situation with Meri revealed its fundamental flaw. Meri became an empty-nester while Kody was still busy raising dozens of kids. Aside from Kody’s other issues, this circumstance made it impossible for Kody to be a true life partner to Meri. Polygamy always short changes someone which prevents it from being the ideal model for families.
