Against because I don't like the double standard rules for men and women. It is not fair to the women.
Is polygamy only multiple wives?
Yup. And polyandry is only multiple husbands.

Well polygamy covers both. Either which way, I'm not feeling it. With two husbands I'll never have down time.. Ughh.. Too much work.
Problem.
It takes at least two full time incomes to support a family.
Who raises the child?
Paid strangers? That often uses up the bulk of one of the spouse's earnings.
In a society that places a premium on independence, where children are pushed out of the house and family at 18 and young people don't feel as though they are accomplished adults unless they are separated from their parents, grand parents, brothers, sister, aunts, and uncles, etc... There is no built in family structure to help. There is no "tribe".
One possible alternative is some form of polygamy.
