Polygamy In Pop Culture

When Did We Become So Obsessed With Polygamy?

Polygamy is a pretty taboo concept in traditional American culture. When you hear the word, a ton of questions come to mind: who would choose this kind of life? What is it like to grow up in this kind of environment? And perhaps most pressing, how on Earth do they deal with the jealousy?
