Polygamy--going, going, gone!

Before we can discuss the real problems in shidduchim and some real solutions to those problems, we need to all open our eyes, ears and brains to one certain thing: polygamy is not in any way, shape or form a solution--NOT A SOLUTION! It is not only the Tropper letter and article that have raised this spectre--it seems like every time I turn around someone else is bringing it up. Have we all lost our marbles?
1. Polygamy in the US is illegal, as it is in most "civilized" countries. Those lawmakers had some really really good reasons for outlawing the practice.
2. Polygamy assumes that women, both the first wife and the potential second one, would be willing to enter into this state, that a shared marriage is better then no marriage at all. Have you ever seen two women try to share one kitchen? Not always a happy state of affairs. And you want them to share a husband? Yeah, right. If you want to prove the truth of the statement "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" put two women in the position of vying for the attention of one man, and then duck for cover.
3. Polygamy assumes that men would be willing to enter into this state. All the bad jokes that I've heard over the years of the obvious "benefits" aside, married men claim confusion over understanding their one wife. You really think they would voluntarily submit to double the confusion? I'm going to be really frank here so close your eyes if you are squeamish: the extra sex won't be worth the extra aggravation. And for those gentlemen who are grinning and saying "Yippee! With two wives I'm always going to have a wife who isn't nidah" there is this: women living in close proximity, residing under one roof, have been found to have coordinated monthly cycles Regardless of the beginning differences, roommates have found that by the end of a year their cycles have become almost identical. Stop the daydreaming guys.
4. Hm, two wives, twelve children, all under one roof. Priced a roof big enough to hold them all lately?
5. Three sets of in-laws, yielding three mothers-in-law. Enough said.
6. 15 mouths to feed at every meal. Medical coverage for 15 people. Yeshiva tuition of $120,00 to $360,000 PER YEAR. Camp fees of $60,000 a year and up.
7. Three car families.
8. Want to take bets as to the incredible rise in divorces that would take place if polygamy were established? And wouldn't this defeat the purpose for the polygamy?

These are only a few, a very few, of the reasons why polygamy would not work and should, once and for all, be removed from "possible" solutions. The problems that would be caused by polygamy are themselves so monumental that any rational human being would never enter into such a relationship.

Just why is it that rabbanim who should know better, a lot better, still flaunt this solution? Scare tactics? You know what ladies, we deserve a lot better then polygamy as an answer, as a stick to beat us over the head with. Actually, so do men.

And to those who would answer that "it worked way back when," may I point out that we aren't living "way back when." Yesterday's answers were based on yesterday's situations.

So, could we "get real" and stop mouthing the word "polygamy"? It doesn't become us at all to be so facetious when trying to find solutions to the shidduch problem.
