Although there is a social belief of one man one woman relationship, society basically says it is perfectly find for a male to father children by many different females and will even go so far as to joke about it. But when said male wants to marry all of the females whom he fathered children by, take care of them and the children he fathered all at the same time society say, no. What’s the different?
Comments:
There are so many social norms that perplex me, this is one of them (for both sexes). I can't understand how society has drastically changed and the people still hold firm to 'some' of the old norms. If my neighbor were married to multiple people or one person, it doesn't affect me (unless I let it).
If you want to live your life by the bible, then YOU live YOUR life by the bible. If you like chocolate ice cream, you eat chocolate ice cream...but don't make me eat it! As long as there is no interference in the lives others who believe differently, it shouldn't matter.
Umm, what society says it's okay for a man to father a bunch of kids with different women? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, mind you, but I don't believe most people think it's okay...
I believe in monogamy 100%. Nothing to do with the bible, just my belief. If my guy ever hooks up with another woman, he's OUT! No second chance, no nothing, OUT!
If other people want to share their man, whatever. Doesn't bother me. But MY guy better know he's NOT allowed to go there.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as everyone is a consenting adult (over 18) then I say go for it. It's not for me but a lot of things aren't - doesn't mean it should be illegal though.
I believe in monogamy. It does have in some ways to do with the bible (what I have been taught) but mainly me dealing with one man that have many sexual partners just does not sit well with me. Call me selfish. But if a man and women want to do that and can handle the consequences of that type of relationship then that's on them. If this man can marry, and support both his wives and children then that's better than him running around and sneaking making babies and not taking care of them. Leaving it up to tax payers.
well I do not believe that society does say it is ok for a man to have children with many different women. All the people I know would consider such a man a loser.
I don't think it is okay for a man to father a lot of different children with different women, therefore I don't believe he should be married to several either.
Men and women should be faithful to each other and build a family together. I think it is a sad truth that our society doesn't see it as a big deal for a man to father children with different mothers. I think a man should cherise his wife and always be true to her and show his children through example how to act.
I guess I need an example of how society approves this behavior - making jokes isn't quite the same as approval or disapproval, it's just pointing up.
But I do agree that society does not disapprove bad behavior as much as it used to. That goes for male and female behavior.

my social belief is monogamy I'm not up for the other stuff I never have liked "sharing" my man! lol
I don't think one man could handle being married to all the women he's fathered children by there is a reason he moved on or spreads his "love" around. Some men are like that.
I think the social belief or standard is warping as time ebs on. The legal system however acknowleges their responsibility financially hence child support.
People can do whatever they want, I know that some folks live commune style with many wives and children it's just not accepted main stream. I heard of a couple last week who are married but have a "girlfriend" who is a "roommate" he has two wives basically for all intensive purposes.
