An Interesting Polygamy Blog: Polygrrl

I've recently discovered an interesting blog by a woman involved in a polygamous family. It's called Polygrrl. I've added it to my Faves in the blog roll.

In particular, I appreciate her discussion of Kody Brown, the husband and father on the TLC program "Sister Wives". Husband to Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, he has 16 (going on 17) children, and is constantly vilified in the blog world. During the first season, he was often dismissed as a "surfer dude", and occasionally referred to as shallow with rock star hair. As the show has progressed, he is still dismissed, but often characterized as egocentric and selfish. I agree with Polygrrl that Kody has many good qualities that people seem to completely ignore from episode to episode, choosing instead to focus instead on something he said and either misrepresenting what he said, or exaggerating it out of proportion. Read Polygrrl's post, "Why Vilify Kody Brown?", then check out the rest of her blog.

Polygrrl shares her own story, has a section dedicated to Sister Wives, Big Love, Jealousy and other related topics. I'd like to see her review of Love Times Three and comment on the Dargers. :o)
