Would a modern feminist in the West want to live in one of the polyandry societies like the Sherpas?

I have no interest in such a thing.
Maintaining a solid romantic relationship with one man is a lot of work, I can't imagine the stress of multiple men.

Ask the Amazons and Queen Nzingha does that answer your question? Men would be in deep kimchee! So much for the Sharia Laws of Muslims too!

Polygamy, in my opinion, just doesn't work. The male/female population is 50/50 for a reason - so everyone can have someone. If 10% of women are hogging up all the males (or 10% of males are hogging up all the females) what are the other 90% of women (or men) supposed to do? - Go gay? Date animals? Polygamy is just stupid!

I'm not a feminist but I am the 2nd wife. The reason for Polygamy is because there are more women then men alive on Earth and the women should be cared for and taken care of by their husbands. If there was only one woman for one man then there would be a lot of women who were without husbands and would be forced to become public property or gay. I don't mind Polygamy at all.

NOT my style. If and when we get married, 999 times out of 1000, it's to one man only.

Women are already divorcing men in droves. How many husbands would you like to see women divorcing? Two? Five? Twelve? Twenty???
