So if we're using those passages to justify male polygamy, we could also use them to justify female polygamy.. which is something no man seems to like but we should be ok with it being done to us.

That would be polyandry, and the reason no one really argue for it except for feminists is because of biology. 9 months to wait for a baby is a long time to then ‘get your turn’ if your in a polyandrous relationship. Most guys see it as essentially a form of cuckoldry, I mean depending on how many men are with one woman, you’re all gonna be supporting each others kids and that’s if the woman is ‘fair’ and has children with each of the men (which is so unbelievably doubtful and uncharacteristic), whereas in polygamy it’s less so effecting to both the men and the women. All in all though, monogamy is superior for creating fair and stable relationships and then also societies.
What he said, and also polyandry was never acceptable in the bible. This is completely different than saying polygamy was acceptable in the old testament and jesus and the disciples never said anything about it changing and being a sin in the new testament. Those passages don't justify polygamy, the point is they dont ban that which was acceptable in the old testament. Rather the only ban they put on is divorce.
