Good work sister!!
I was just about to post. Glad to see we are on the same page. I was directed there because of my clumsy thumbs scrolled ‘next’ on The Daily Mail article on Balenciaga
In my dumb libfemmy days, I used to be in favor of decriminalizing polygamy
Now I understand why it’s illegal in the west and why it MUST stay so
In cultures where polygamy is traditional, only men who can support several wives get to have several wives. It’s still a bad deal for women, but typical to Women’s history, we rarely have easy options to choose from
In the west, the US especially, we keep ending up with the grossest and least fit if men finding some way to collect wives he neither deserves or can take care of. They usually use some fake religious cause. I’m all for freedom of religion, but it does result in some pretty stupid religions that are an effective way to control people with
This disgusting specimen, Like Warren Jeffs, is nothing but a selfish sexual deviant who put in a system that only benefited them, to the detriment of 19 women and who knows how many more

Polygamy/bigamy is effectively decriminalized in the U.S. anyway. Jeffs was convicted for assaulting children but not for practicing bigamy. The same thing will most likely happen to this guy. They'll get him for transporting minors across state lines, but probably won't even bother with a bigamy charge since he never pursued legal marriage licenses. If anything, a bigamy charge will be used to boost the seriousness of his other crimes.
I don't support actually decriminalizing bigamy even if it's not really prosecuted anyway. I get the arguments for it, "privacy" and "religious freedom," but it's always been practiced by abusive men collecting child brides. We should keep the laws on the books if only to signal that as a society we don't support it.

Exactly this
The LDS (Mormon) people I know are embarrassed by it. I still cringe at my libfemm-splaining to a friend that I didn’t see the big deal. The look of horror on his face. Sorry Ron

Some pieces from the article:
Bateman “began to proclaim he was a prophet” in 2019, Martin said in her affidavit. In his small offshoot of the FLDS faith, he has “approximately 50 followers and more than 20 wives, many of whom are minors, mostly under the age of 15.”
...
J.J. described witnessing multiple occasions in 2020 when Bateman gathered followers to have sexual contact with him or each other in a group setting, the affidavit said. J.J. alleged that girls were at first made to watch sex acts, but on later occasions touched Bateman. Children cannot legally consent to sex acts with adults.
J.J. also told Martin that Bateman described directing an adult male follower to have sex with a girl in the November 2021 gathering that followers later referred to the “Atonement,” the affidavit said.

This is a radical feminist circle dedicated to recording and exploring the global phenomenon of male violence.
Please be aware of readers' sensitivities when you post to this circle.
Flair your post according to the type of violence it features. This is so that readers can avoid particular kinds of material.
While we acknowledge that violence perpetrated by trans-identified males is male violence, these incidents are more appropriate for o/thisneverhappens.
FACTS
- It is estimated that there are 650 million women and girls in the world today who were married before age 18.
- At least 200 million women and girls aged 15-49 have undergone female genital mutilation.
- Approximately 15 million adolescent girls (aged 15 to 19) worldwide have experienced forced sex (forced sexual intercourse or other sexual acts) at some point in their life.
- Twenty-three per cent of female undergraduate university students reported having experienced sexual assault or sexual misconduct in a survey across 27 universities in the United States in 2015.

General Guidelines: Posts should document male violence. Use descriptive titles when submitting links and text posts. Avoid vague titles, clickbait titles, and editorializing. If you're linking to a news article or blog, make the title of your submission the title of the article or blog posts, or at least begin with it. Clear titles help people avoid posting duplicate topics.
NAMALT/Whataboutery: This sub does not accept arguments that predicated on the idea that 'not all men' commit crimes or that women commit crimes too. We know that not all men commit crimes and that some women do. We also know all the available proof indicates that men commit the majority of violent crime in every country of the world and in every historical period.
No Trolling: Users who troll, concern troll, or sealion the circle and/or its users will not receive a warning and be promptly banned. Anyone who attempts to circumvent an account ban with multiple accounts will be reported to the admins.
Civility: Maintain civility while participating here. Do not insult others for disagreeing with you. Do not escalate disagreements into fights. Do not target or harass individual users that you don't like. Do not feed trolls. Report them to the moderators. Low-effort posts that only insult or disparage people or groups of people will be removed. Violations will result in warnings and bans at the discretion of the moderators.
No Hate Speech: Posts will be removed if they are espousing misogyny, racism, anti-semitism, anti-Muslimism, homophobia, ageism, ableism, denigrating the mentally ill, or truly hateful or dehumanizing descriptions of people. Posts will be removed for using slurs.
No Doxing: Do not post links, archives, or screen caps that have identifying personal information from Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else. The post will be deleted immediately and the site admins may suspend your account permanently.

QUOTES
Domestic violence against women by men is “caused” by the misuse of power and control within a context of male privilege. Male privilege operates on an individual and societal level to maintain a situation of male dominance, where men have power over women and children. Domestic violence by men against women can be seen as a consequence of the inequalities between men and women, rooted in patriarchal traditions that encourage men to believe they are entitled to power and control over their partners.
Perpetration of serious violence and crime is in fact the most distinctive sex difference there is, cross-culturally.
The male-female difference in perpetrators of violent crime is about 10 to 1, consistent across every state in the United States, and true of every country for which such data are available…The overwhelming maleness of violence is so pervasive in every human society that it is typically not even recognized as such; it is the ocean in which we swim.
