There are MANY inequalities. Some favor women, some favor men. We as a society will throw a man under the bus in our criminal justice system and family courts much quicker than we would a woman. Muslims murder and torture FAR more of their own men than women, but they are monstrous because of how they abuse women even though they abuse ten times more men. It's a problem that not enough men are getting college degrees and good jobs because men need to be marriage material for women who want to marry. There are lots of single mothers. Women don't need to stop having children while single though. Men need to be more willing to marry single mothers. Our system has enough double standards to choke a cow yet it seems most can only see the double standards that disadvantage women.
reason no one ever proposed women having 2 husbands: man's world

Anyone who wants more than one just wants adultery without guilt.
Polyandry is less rare than this figure which listed only those examples found in the Himalayan mountains (28 societies). More recent studies have found more than 50 other societies practicing polyandry.[2]
Polyandry in Tibet was a common practice and continues to a lesser extent today. In Tibet, polyandry has been outlawed since the Chinese takeover of the area, so it is difficult to measure the incidence of polyandry in what may have been the world's most polyandrous society.[16] Polyandry in India still exists among minorities, and also in Bhutan, and the northern parts of Nepal. Polyandry has been practised in several parts of India, such as Rajasthan, Ladakh and Zanskar, in the Jaunsar-Bawar region in Uttarakhand, among the Toda of South India,[16] and the Nishi of Arunachal Pradesh

I would think the children of the net would look up more ideas before posting?
Polyandry decreases population, and this was the main objection, not men have it better.
There are few, but some, societies that practice polyandry. One is in the Himalayas

Dogs ... all men are dogs.
Pigs are late comers as it concerns shorthand descriptors to be used by the fairer sex concerning the short comings of the male of the species. I dunno ... maybe it's the present dietary situation here in the Western world.
Correct.
There are two kinds of polygamy:
1) Polygyny - One husband, multiple wives.
2) Polyandry - One wife, multiple husbands.
Polyandry is rare, because in the vast majority of societies that accept polygyny (i.e. Fundamentalist LDS), they generally don't accept polyandry.

polygamy is just downright dumb and immoral. It doesn't really matter whether some society on Earth has it or not.. god's laws don't change society to society..
so.. this info is just not all that helpful
but thanks anyhow

Yet, God allowed it all the time in the old and new testament times.
It's funny how you let our current societal norms cloud your view of scripture.

It's called polyandry and it's not nearly as common as polygamy but it's not that rare either.
Of the 1,231 societies listed in the 1980 Ethnographic Atlas, 186 were found to be monogamous; 453 had occasional polygyny; 588 had more frequent polygyny; and 4 had polyandry.[1] Polyandry is less rare than this figure which listed only those examples found in the Himalayan mountains (28 societies). More recent studies have found more than 50 other societies practicing polyandry.[2]
