“polygamy can be liberating and empowering.”

Except in television exposes of Western polygamy practiced by stern-faced, white ‘elders’, where multiple wives are almost always depicted as abused, unhappy and trapped. So, she must be referring to the husband, right?

Hey, maybe open or plural marriages work for some consenting adults, although the effect on children is of concern. But let’s call the Duke professor’s pandering relativism for what it really is.

When will we figure out that political correctness isn’t about justice or equality or cultural sensitivity? It’s about Balkanizing us into a hierarchy of grievance, victim, entitlement and scapegoat groups, with rights, privileges and allowable behavior determined by membership — and all of it administered by unaccountable high priests free to interpret multiculturalism any way they see fit.
