Imagine a country, let's call it "country A", where polygamy is permitted; men may have up to four wives, but women may only have one husband. A man in A will avail himself of this privilege with gusto if he is able to do so; in A the decision of whether to marry or not is mainly the man's, and the women have little say in the matter. Let us also assume that there is substantial inequality among men in A. Finally, assume that there's no huge demographic problem in A, no war that killed a large proportion of marriageable men but has left the women untouched.

I now give you a forced-choice poll, where you have to pick which of these two descriptions is the least bad.
