In reply to the discussion: Judge orders forfeiture of Texas polygamist ranch [View all]delrem
(9,688 posts)I posed questions, AKA a possible line of thought:
"How are sexual assaults on children related to polygamy?
Are there polygamist communes that respect the rights of children not to be sexually (or in any other way) exploited?
Children in a community learn to be like the adults, whether those adults are protective or exploitative. That's the same in monogamist/serial-monogamist/polygamist households.
Is it the case that the whole community should be punished, their evidently prosperous properties taken from them, or is this a form of collective punishment that shouldn't happen.
Lots to think about and learn about here.
eta: in light of the incredibly offensive slander directed against me for posing these questions, I double-down on my post. I double-down on the righteousness of my questions."
