Hi,
I'm going to stay out of this mine field in a quagmire you two are setting up. But I just have to comment on this:
In context, yeah. But as presented, it could be {one man, multiple women}, {one woman, multiple men}, {multiple men}, {multiple women}, {multiple men, multiple women} in a circle, line, or other arrangement, with or without rules about alternating the order of accepting new partners or about the number permitted at one time.
Basically, why should anyone care what relationships adults form with each other? As long as they either have no children or provide for those children, it is nobody else's business (and this includes the tax collector, who should neither penalize nor reward a group for its size).

Because this is inequality. You agree with the fact that men have a god given power over women.
