MEN ARE POLYGAMOUS IN NATURE.
A very controversial assertion!
Someone Made this post. And I gave an answer i think may benefit many. I am compressing a lot within a single comment so if you are confused , do well to ask queations or express your disagreement so it can be clarified.
Brace up! Long Teaching.
You dont need to agree, you just need to think deeper .
As part of one of the works I am currently doing , we delved into this question.
For you to understand this. You need to understand that God did not create marriage, unlike the Christian faith tries to portray it.. human beings designed marriage for the fulfilment of Gods purpose for creation.
What is Gods purpose for creation . It is clearly written in Genesis . To multiply and dominate the earth . That is to reproduce and master the earth .
So the purpose of creating Adam and Eve is for reproduction not marriage.
And across all creations, reproduction needs two parts. Even in plants .
So only the two parts necessary for reproduction was created.
Adam and Eve where not husband and wife.. cos no one wedded them, and no one witnessed it. For there to be a wedding, there will be a bride, groom, bride parents who hands over the bride to groom.
Marriage means joining. Adam and Eve was created as two sides of the same human, already joined. They had no choice to it. They existed as united.
That means any two people can be united in purpose even without beeing husband and wife.
You need to think outside the words themsleves here to understand what am driving.
That means for their to be husband and wife, there will be father inlaw and mother inlaw. And then there will be a law.. a social law. Even if they where dead . They existed.
But Adam and Eve had non of that. They where the structure of the begining . It was only after reproduction continued to populate the earth, then marriage became necessary to give order, responsibility ans commintment to our processes of reproduction.
So God did not create Adam and Eves becuase it was not necessary. God Created Adam and Eve because thats all life needed to reproduce and dominate the earth .
But one thing was for sure.
The authority to name things and control things was vested in Adam. God did not interfere with it.
When Eve was made,.she was brought to Adam, who accepted her and named her.
That means whatever He called anything or anyone is what they become.
Adam called Even woman. Thats what she is.
When a Man calls any woman his wife , 1 or 10, thats what they become.
But at the same time, he will be judged not by the number of women he named his wife, but how responsible he was to it.
Thats where God focuses on. Was he able to live upto his responsibility to whatever he has named ?
If he named 1 woman as his wife, then he will be judged for 1 woman. If he bamed 10 women as his wives, then his responsibility spreads to 10 women and he will be judged by it as well.
Men are polygamous in nature does not mean every Man must be promiscuous. No.
Polygamy here means multiple reproductive partners, not multiple marriages, because reproduction was the purpose of creation not marriage.
Hence marriage is not natrual , reproduction is.
The word there is "Nature", meaning origin !. That means Men have the capacity to have multiple women. So long as he has the capacity to be responsible for them all, he can comfortably reproduce with all of them, and protect all of them .
Thats what it means.
Yet does not mean he must, or he will.
Unfortunately a woman cannot. Does not mean she cannot try.
At the end of the day, within the limits of nature, a woman can only concieve for one Man and stay pregnant for at least 9 months
During this time, the same Man who impregnated her can easily impregnate several hundreds if not thousands of other women .
That means within natural bounds, which is biological or reproduction only, not cultural or social , a Man is polygamous, a woman is not.
But at the same time, a woman is hypergamous. It is not a natural or biologucal limitation, it is a social one.
That means she can choose the top Man to lay with .
So while a Man can only lay with women who accept him, as many as he can.
A woman can choose the best of all the Men and lay with him.
This becomes complimentary to a comment i wrote in your earleir post.
The polygamous nature of Man and the hypergamous nature of Woman creates a natural cycle that drives reproduction and evolution of the human species.
So when it is said that Men are polygamous in nature and women are not. It is strictly based on what nature has empowered them to do or not do.
Nature has empowered every woman to be a mother, carry a child within her , bond with it and know it. But no Man can have that experience within natural limits because he does not have the natural capacity to.
