Asking this as a Qatari with a polygamous father. My father’s second wife is Swedish and I know it was a tough pill to swallow for her family and friends back home.

Are you trying to describe monogamous societies or polygamous ones?
OP is asking why Western societies frown on polygamy, but you respond by talking about the strategic value of having more readily available cannon fodder - I assume in polygamous cultures, because that’s the only thing that makes sense. A monogamous society, assuming relatively equal M/F birth rates, would have LESS available available military men, by your own description.
I’m not sure how that answers OPs question unless you’re saying that Western societies frown on polygamy because it was SEEN as just a tactic to raise armies?
Dawg it’s clear they mean the elite have more one than psrtner
