Polyandrous women may not be as nurturing as other women are.

Polyandrous: natural leaning toward a committed marriage like relationship between one woman and several men.

Polygynous: natural leaning toward a committed marriage like relationship between one man and several women. (Often understood as polygamy, but correctly called polygyny.)

Polygynandry: natural leaning toward a committed marriage like relationship between several men and several women simultaneously.

If you’re one of those women who are ironically heterosexual but “lacking that mothering gene,” you might wonder what is going on. At first glance it makes little sense that a heterosexual woman who loves a lot of men wants no children out of it. When you look at it closer, it actually makes perfect sense that a polyandrous heterosexual woman wouldn’t be very maternal – because polyandrous men are very paternal, very capable of handling a few children around.

Imagine a polyandrous woman has 10 husbands. She gives birth to 3 children (being modern and all.) There are 10 capable men taking care of 3 children, and her part in the whole show is basically just giving the kids cuddles when they’re all happy and fed.

And trust me, polyandrous men would find this heart-swelling wonderful. Unlike when they have children with polygynous women, polyandrous men get to spend time with their own kids – which is not at all what they’re used to in a monogamous society where the strong likelihood is that they wind up marrying a polygynist woman. They get to be a part of the child’s life, while a polyandrous woman is perfectly happy letting them do all that.

Polyandrous men are kind of the equivalent of polygynous women. They have more in common in their way of thinking than their own ideal partners do. Therefore they kind of understand each other well, but they compete for the same gender priviledges. Being that way, they are perfectly incompatible. Again, polyandrous women and polygynous men think very similarly – and rarely cross paths in real life as they naturally dislike each other. They both consider each other a selfish, two-timing prick; while competing over the same priviledges. In contrast, polygynous men fit perfectly with polygynous women and polyandrous men fit perfectly with polyandrous women. (And polygynandrous men and women fit perfectly together.)

In the same way, a polygynous man will gladly let the girls do the baby-raising and child-minding, the polyandrous woman feels the same way about her offspring. (Put them together, and the children go neglected or handled by an irate parent.) (Monogamy is very stressful regarding child care. Back in the day, when women at least could join forces in raising several couple’s children together, it was manageable but cut the polyandrist man off his children, which was not ideal, still, but it was manageable. Currently, isolated parents are stressed and tired for a reason: we are pack animals, and monogamy goes against our species-typical behavior – but I digress.)

In addition, polyandrous women do not like the maternal energy of the polygynous women. They hate being tied into that energy, and a “lonely” woman with a child ignites every polygynist woman’s instinct to tie her into their group. Even if the polyandrous woman was perfectly satisfied raising her child with her husband alone, a polygynist woman (which is most women) cannot let her “suffer” the “solitude”. Her friendliness will be driving a polyandrous woman insane. Many polyandrous women sense this and hate the thought of being pulled into this unity so much they forgo having children entirely.

If you are a woman who feels it to be completely natural to shove your child into your happy husband’s lap when you’re too busy for him or her, you might be polyandrous by your natural leaning.
