What is the polygamists take on polyandry?

Do they practice it, do they accept it as legitimate social behaviour or are they against it altogether?

Interesting question.
.
What do you think of polyandry?
.
The ancient greeks practiced a form of it with the hetera, didn't they? And, didn't Madame Pompador have a salon in which she practices a form of polyandry. And, what about Catherine the Great? Have you heard about her bed stead with all its carvings?

In response to polyandry posted by hkyyin:
For the FLDS church, polygamy exists within a specific religious, historical, and social context, as explained and explored here:

Polyandry has no place in this socio-historical context.

So, as an outsider, it may seem perfectly logical that polyandry should be accepted by a polygamous group, but from the convtext of within the religious group, the two could not be more different.

Hope that makes sense.
