If polyandry is “the condition or practice of having more than one husband or male mate at one time,” then what is the word for having more than one wife or female mate at a time. :banghead:
Thanks for any info,
RJ :lokai:

Polygyny or just polygamy
(andr = male, gyn = female)
as in Misogynist or Androgynist
:)

Hatred of men (as a gender) = misandry
Hatred of Men (as in human beings) = misanthropy
Androgynist = any Gucci ad
I wonder... is there any such thing as "misandry"? I mean the term is not really used is it? Don't people just say "man-hating"?

No, just giving a couple of examples.
Androgynist = genderqueer individual
Someone who presents as neither female nor male.

Well it's kind of like Polygyny , very rarely used if at all.
Why? Your guess is as good as mine. :)

And that's why you're here, to help us remember words that we've forgotten. :)

Misandry still exists, just like misogyny exists... just no one really cares, IMO.
