In the way that they don’t get to choose if they want to stay at home and live a relatively leisurely lifestyle or work. That depends on the household.
Thank you for your reply. It seems we were saying the same thing. I'm not inherently against polygamy, but ethical polyandry seems more fair. I've never been involved in either, but I've experienced exes with side dishes, which is a whole other can of worms. Imo, it's sexual abuse in that it nonconsensualy exposes the main dish to potential STI, some of those deadly, and takes time and financial resources from the main to give to the side, whereas the main gets all the work and ill temper and the side gets all the benefits.
I've been voluntarily celibate for almost four years. I'm neither financially better or worse, but I enjoy a lot more leisure, peace, and have developed an close, accepting relationship with myself, God/the universe/divine/higher self (or however anyone else may view it), and am more accepting of the world at large, with the understanding I can work within limited means toward changing what I can that is important to me.
