dating multiple people at the same time is just wrong.
It's actually a common thing in many different cultures. For example, in many Native-American cultures, the chief would have multiple wives, often being sisters at that. I'm not saying I'm for polygamy, but I'm not against it, either.

If all parties agree, why is it wrong? Who says a romantic relationship has to be exclusive? And why is that for you to judge?

Exactly my point. It's not necessarily a bad thing. The only time it's a problem is if not all members are consenting. Also, for some reason, it's illegal in many places.

Nothing about what I said is at all derogatory toward women. If somebody wants to have two simultaneous but separate relationships, and both their partners are aware and okay with it, there's nothing wrong with that.

If somebody wants to have a relationship simultaneously with many people, and everybody involved agrees, there's still nothing wrong with that because everybody involved is an adult who is making that decision consciously.

Notice the lack of any gender specification in the above statements.

If there exists a culture where men forcibly marry multiple women who don't want to be part of a polyamorous or polygamous relationship, that's bad, but not by the nature of the definition of polygamy.

Again, I'm not for polygamy, I'm just not against it. I really don't care, it's people's choices. Also, I said that it's only fine if all members consent. Besides, there are polygamous relationships with multiple men.

EDIT: Also, everything Zun said.

Uh but all they said was "having multiple partners can work" not "being a male and having multiple partners while the girls can only have 1 partner can work", the latter statement is extremely sexist but the former is neutral??

Exactly. One of one gender forcing polygamy on multiple of the other gender is very sexist. But not if there's multiple of each gender or the previous situation with complete and total consent and also the possibility (and likelihood) that in the situation of polygamy there are most likely people who are attracted to both genders.

I'm not against dating multiple people, but dating multiple people at the same time is just wrong.

Depends on your definition of dating. In my opinion, you can date as many people as you want at once, until you're in a relationship with someone, at which point you shouldn't date anyone else.

In terms of poly relationships, honestly if everyone is consenting and happy with it, I don't really see too much of an issue. While a poly relationship isn't something I'd be personally interested in, I don't see why I'd judge people on that criteria.

Which is exactly why I don't understand why polygamy's illegal in the United States. I don't want to be part of a polygamous relationship, but I don't see why the people who do aren't allowed to.

Polygamy shouldn't be a crime. In addition, if, and only if, all parties consent, there's nothing wrong with it.

interestingly enough, the word polygamy doesn't appear in that article
