Dear Ujm,

I’m wondering how much you really know about this topic. The point is made either way, that it was never an obvious fact of jewish life. Even where and when it was practiced, it wasn’t flaunted like a group of tribal chieftains. For instance, is it permitted for a man to walk to shul with his two wives and no children?

You can post it a zillion times but it won’t change the fact. The same way it is rare to have multiple wives, it will continue to be a rare concept in halacha. It will not be embraced as okay for some people. Right or wrong that’s just the way it is. Nobody minds if you accept this or not. It’s the real truth. The question being put to you is, do you have any clue as to why this is the reality. It’s a big part of society. Are you just so socially off? Scared of women? Clueless in general? Or just trolling?

Whatever your reasons are don’t bother me. But I thought I would clarify why other posters get annoyed at this topic. It’s not because of some modern post liberal position. There is a part of the conversation you are missing or avoiding.
