Phew, those last two were so...WOW, Mary, way to GO!<br />Phew, those last two were soooooo good. If I smoked I would want a cigarette right now.<br />Clearly, Christine and Robyn are extremely defensive, indicating severe blocks in their ability to see the situation that they are in from another's perspective. Robin (I know she spells it differently but I can't seem to type it that way; perhaps I passive-aggressively can't help myself) might as well have covered her ears and went "blah, blah, blah!" during some of the panel interview for all the maturity she showed.<br />NOT putting a great face on Modern Progressive Polygamy; not that there really is one anyway.<br />Christine is obviously scared sh*tl@ss at the thought of a reality paradigm change for herself--thus the "chicken with her head cut off" behavior.

When someone is using the 'smoke and mirrors' defensive manipulation, it can be difficult to see the truth and it can make a person feel CRAZY. <br />I think so many of us at first took the Browns for what appeared to be face value (first season). What has emerged is a pattern of subversive behavior--no wonder that many of have a visceral dislike of their shenanigans now.<br />Like for Kody...just sayin.

I hope you embrace your inner Janelle and run like pantyhose.<br />Kody, ever the douche - ever the ego, ever that ugly hair. Stringy, balding, sweaty - gross. Kisses Sweetie, kisses.<br />Robyn - NOT EVERYONE EVEN CARES ABOUT YOUR LIFESTYLE. Who cares if someone attacks it? If someone calls me a "married woman" or says I sleep with one man, I just bat my baby blues and fake tears. Oh wait...eeek, that's you. Sweetie pie, pumpkin bar, tummy tuck - shush with those pet names to cushion the words about to come from your mouth. You are a victim. You've made yourself the victim by a.) crying (badly, I may add) in every episode, b.) painting your ex-husband as a rapist/abusive dirty monogamist, and c.) constantly making comments on your show about monogamists. Your poor ex-hubby is the victim not you. You've made his monogamist relationship out to be this dungeon of cookie stealing and tangent bike rides along "Couples only" bike paths.<br />You're a joke, Robyn, a pure joke. I hope one day you grow up, and I think I'm like a year younger than you are and I'm telling you to GET OVER YOURSELF. Every season you get more and more loopy, She-Rah. I think now, Sweetie, it's more like She-nah (I'm good).<br />PEACE OUT! :)<br />Mister Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026116196375975580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-48727136294323571402013-09-19T13:40:40.821-04:002013-09-19T13:40:40.821-04:00I'm not for or against polygamy per sae. I'...I'm not for or against polygamy per sae. I'm for doing whatever you want as long as a.) you're not physically or emotionally hurting anyone else, b.) you're not violating yourself or others in any sense of the word, and c.) your freedom of choice is never forced on others. Therefore if you want to be in a polygamist marriage then go for it - but I've noticed most of the relationships are not happy and many people violate one of the a, b, c's I have about polygamy within their relationship. <br />You're right, Robyn/Meri, monogamist relationships DO have problems. There's abuse. There's emotional abuse. There's sexual assault of children. There's abuse of children. There's hatred and jealousy. Those things are all true. I'm not trying to shove "monogamy" down your throat or trying to convince you or your children to be monogamist but in the same respect I'm willing to admit the faults and truths of monogamist relationships. <br />YOU REFUSE TO ADMIT CLEARLY THAT YEAH SOMETIMES YOU ARE JEALOUS OF YOUR SISTERWIVES, SOMETIMES YOU ARE ABUSED EMOTIONALLY BY KODY (AND DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE NOT BECAUSE IT'S AS CLEAR AS DAY YOU ARE), etc. When someone says any of these things to any of you, your feathers are ruffled and you automatically tune out and cannot identify with the words being said. NOT EVERYTHING IS AN ATTACK ON YOUR "LIFESTYLE". You want the right to live your life, fine. Well we want the right to live ours, and you JUDGE monogamy and people in monogamist relationships just as much as you are judged yourselves and you refuse to admit it.<br />ou cannot see past the gate if you put a bolder in front of the gate's door, "Sweetie". <br />I don't understand, during the panel, why in the world Robyn seemed to go into automatic attack mode and why the heck Meri was laughing at a question, asked seriously, from an audience member. You're supposed to be adults and the "specimen" of polygamy for the audience and panel members - act like it. <br />I lost so much respect for Christine in this episode, years of respect just were washed away with her childish behavior, attempted dramas, and carrying grudges and acting like a five year old in front of her entire family. Shame on you, Christine. I use to always feel sorry for you and thought you were a kind spirit and a little misconbobulated (okay a lot misconbobulated). You proved how manipulative, mean spirited, cruel, and angry you truly are. Anything to get attention, even throwing your aunt who just disagrees with you, under the bus?

I think they would all be responsible for their own families. The only one that may be on the hook could be Meri as she is legally married to the father of Kody's kids. But I think it's been stated that his name isn't on the birth certificates, so not sure what the legality of that would be. I would expect that each of the wives would have to provide for their own children.

From what we saw of the discussion, all of them stayed to the general topic of polygyny rather than making it about it about the Browns. If I'd been on the panel, my temptation would have been to make some personal digs at the Browns, such as, "If your way of polygamy is so functional, why the bankruptcies?"

These societies tend to be located in areas that are not rich in land or resources. The population is kept low; family wealth is retained by the family as a whole; the wife is afforded more power, since their offspring will collectively inherit 100% of the wealth of her husbands' family. It is no less crazy in my book, though it may have some practical basis. I have never heard of a religious basis for any polyandry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-47442902207824145992013-09-19T08:36:52.636-04:002013-09-19T08:36:52.636-04:00"Modern Progressive Polygamy"
perfect l..."Modern Progressive Polygamy"<br /> perfect label, Rose!<br />I loved "Big Love" when it came out. At that time I was not familiar with polygamy or its history. One scene that has stuck with me was either a flashback or a 'bonus' scene--Nicky has her first baby in the hospital and Barb is visiting. Barb looks at the baby (boy) and remarks "why, he looks like..like...(like Bill, the husband; you can see by Jean Tripplehorn's excellent acting that Barb is overwhelmed by the realization that this is Bill's kid, that she is really is a polygamous relationship, etc.)..he looks just like a Wayne" (or whatever that baby's name was).<br />A bit further into this scene is when Nicky, fearing her lot will be to push out one baby after another, tears up in a hugely dramatic way, is overcome completely. Barb is like "What's the matter?" Nicky: "You can't fool me Barb"...she remembers all the women, pregnant over and over again, smelling of "sour milk". A truly heartwrenching scene.
