Chapter 8 deals with deviance. What seems deviance to some is obviously not to others. This website is exactly what it says it is. It is an anti-polygamy website that works to expose the irregularities and abuse that exists within a polygamous culture. Obviously this people that began and follow this website believe in monogamy and freedom which are two things an individual may lose when joining a polygamous society. Women lose their rite to choose what they want to do with their lives and lose their ability to be viewed as equal to men. People lose their freedom of dress, choice, and personal preferences because breaking away from the norm of a polygamous society would be seen as disloyal.
The people that began this website obviously have a serious stigma with the way that polygamists run their lives. The site has different pages and links discrediting the works and ideas of polygamous societies in order to discredit them. On the other hand, the site also provides pro-polygamy websites in order for the reader to get both sides of the story instead of having the site be just propaganda for why polygamy is bad. I think that this website is structured as it should be. The site obviously gives a negative sanction towards polygamy, but it also gives viewers the chance to see the subject and its views in a different light.
