Many might find that a woman who doesn’t have and doesn’t want to have children must be mentally flawed. I semi-agree. Since I believe that we are naturally aligned toward different forms of polygamy, certain natural alignments work better in a forcefully monogamous society than others. A polyandrous woman cannot find true happiness through children and a monogamous family. I don’t know one single polyandrist woman who has ever wanted to have children enough to actually go through with it. (That might change.)
I believe if I could live in a polyandrous marriage, the situation would be quite different. Maybe I could do monogamous parenthood if I could semi-guarantee all my children to be male. Suppose I didn’t have any women lurking in the shadows ready to “support me” in my maternity, yes, maybe. But I cannot, as a polyandrist woman, TOLERATE the idea of other women near me during pregnancy and child-rearing. The thought is… Distressing.
In a polyandrous marriage, however, children would probably be… OK. I’m not sure if I would WANT THEM, per se, but I don’t find the thought of them existing limiting and distressing anymore… not even girls. Still, that’s a conversation for another lifetime, considering I’m way past that age now.
Still, how can a person be perfectly healthy in a society that enforces unnatural behaviour in its own members? Cannot be done.
