The USA Today newspaper has an article titled "Mormon doctrine leaves potential for 'eternal polygamy'" ([reference](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/02/17/mormon-doctrine-leaves-potential-eternal-polygamy/98051996/)) that makes the following statement:

> 
> Decades have passed since male members of the mainstream LDS Church

So based on that paragraph, a Mormon man can be sealed to another woman (if the previous one is deceased) without having to break that sealing but a Mormon woman can not be sealed to another man (even if the previous one is deceased).

An exception to this is if her sealing is broken (a subject in my older question [here](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/61554/can-a-mormon-wife-be-unsealed-from-her-husband-and-what-is-required-for-it)). But while that is on one hand not a particularly straight-forward, it is also something that is not required from Mormon men.

Because a Mormon man can get eternally sealed to multiple women, there is always the risk for a Mormon woman that in the end she was not the only one sealed to her husband.

**My question is:**
What is the reasoning (from LDS canon) behind why it is comparatively more difficult for a woman to control whom she is eternally sealed to?
