I actually hadn't seen the Guardian article on polygamy, that was just coincidence.
It captures part of the problem: not enough men, too many of them are poorly educated drunks, so share the good ones around.
Women having multiple husbands would help with the problem of monogamy being isolating and therefore dangerous, but it wouldn't sort out the problem (if it exists) of more good women than good men.
