Misogyny is rooted in the ignorance of antiquity. In both polytheism and monotheism and even more earthy religions like Buddhism, when those religions were started, men had no clue that brawn was merely one aspect of evolution, not the only or most important. Men in general thought girls/women were like fields to plant seeds in, they had no clue back then that women contributed genes.
In evolutionary biology both women and men are not always driven to be monogamous. Life in diverse and thus so are individuals. But what old traditions and religions do is give crappy explanations and gap answers as to why humans behave like they do. What makes gender roles bad is this failure of understanding that one attribute is only that, an attribute. To blame girls women for the actions of men is absurd. But this goes on to lesser or greater degrees in every nation worldwide.
And with affairs too, it isn't the sex that makes it wrong, it is breaking the trust of the partner's expectations whom you had the affair on.
Polygamy is wrong because it is rooted in old sexist religion having nothing to do with real understanding of humans behaviors. But slut shaming also is everywhere. India and China also expect all the responsibility on the female's image to keep the honor of the family, instead of teaching girls/women to think for themselves and teach men to keep their hands to themselves.
Girls/women DO NOT need a religion of any label to chose how they dress or whom they have sex with. Both girls and boys growing up should be taught sex education and pragmatic risks of disease and unwanted pregnancies and financial implications of both.
