 A friend and I tend to debate that
feminism has been the root of all
evil for the family and the world.
I can't imagine one moment in
history that has made such a
dramatic shift in the nature of our
world as "women's liberation" and
not all of it has been good.
Naturally, part of the collateral
damage is the family itself. |

Absolutely. Women are now over 50%
of all college graduates and 52% of
the work force. With this equality
comes financial freedom. If a
woman is in an unhappy or abusive
marriage, she now has the
economical power to leave. The
days of staying in an abusive
relationship just for financial
security are over. Men, wise up.
Treat your wives with respect and
honor and they will probably stick
around. |

They are not able to fulfill their
duties efficiently. |

Yep.
Marriage can be a little tough to
take. Women who were NOT empowered
did not leave because they would
suffer for it. It is better that
they can get out of miserable
situations now. |

I think that it absolutely is. |

Yes i agree & reason what i think
is that now women can't be drowned
by those bossy husbands cuz of
those laws. Now the only way to
successful marriage is being
understanding, cooperative & very
very honest. So if a man can't
fulfill this some requirements then
they deserve that "d" thing. Time
is gone when superior gender could
use women according to their wish.
Now a days women are also
contributing to their homes & at
the sane time taking care of
children(most of them), so they do
deserve those empowerment laws so
that they can efficiently & happily
live their lives & if divorce can
help in getting rid of dirt off
then why not?
AFTER ALL MEN DO THE SAME TOO,
WOMEN HAVE JUST GOT THIS BASIC
RIGHT OF THEIRS! |

Disempowerment creates a victim
mentality, which sees women staying
with abusive partners, getting
injured or killed as a result.
Even mental abuse is bad enough to
warrant divorce. So I think
empowerment probably has led to a
rise in the divorce rate, but this
is a good thing. |

Like MamaCass say's,"The
empowerement of women leads to
divorce which needs to happen". If
men were acting the way God
intended then women would not even
feel they need to be "empowered".
The divorce rate can be contributed
to the ever-spiraling morals of our
failing society. Once the family
unit is a thing of the past, it's
all over. |

I believe it may well be an
unforeseen effect of equality of
the sexes. Not that this equality
is in any way a bad thing, but in
truth, a lot of women may never
have married if there had not been
a stigma attached to unmarried
women. So while i know the divorce
rate has grown i expect it will
reduce in time as less people feel
that marriage is not the only
option. Indeed there has also been
an increase in homosexuality which
reduces the numbers of marriages
overall. I think while the
acceptance of women as equals
continues to grow, i would imagine
that more women and indeed men will
want their own independence and
marriage will be shunned as an
outdated concept. I don't think
this is going to be a positive
development but that is a debate
for another day. :) |

The EMpowerment of women does lead
to divorce I am sure, but likely it
leads to divorces that need to
happen.
As an empowered woman I am glad to
say that it allowed me to leave a
physically and mentally abusive man
and I have been successful on my
own ever since.
God (gods or whatever deity you
deem worthy) bless the empowerment
of any human being, regardless of
gender.
Any truly empowered woman will
fulfill her "duties" as she sees
fit, and will do them well. It is
not up to her man to dictate what
her "duties" are. |

Yes, now that women have the
ability to support themselves, they
don't have to put up with a load of
doo doo all the time. |

 Ok so definitely no Empowerment is
not the cause for divorce... But I
bet If i could revert people back
to the old days when people were
arranged marriage and the defiant
ones ran off for love... And women
did what they were told.... Divorce
rate would drop like a dead fly...
Although that will never happen
..and there is no reason for it
to... It sheads light on a good
point though... As women made their
claim on a "mans" world.. They are
ultimately
responsible for driving us all men
and women infreakinsane.. .cause
before all this equality and rights
they didn't have a say..and u were
married forever.... So which would
you rather have? A life at odds
with multiple partners cause no one
can make up their mind what they
really want or what makes them
happy.... Or.. Yeah I'm just
babbling now... You get the
point.... |

The problem is the opposite.
Emasculation is the main
contributor to failing marriages.
Strong women is not harmful, but
weaker men means the balance of
power is no longer there. In short,
we are moving to a more sissified
society. |

I think divorce is caused by a lack
of respect and a lack of
willingness to work at marriage.
Yes women have different roles
today.. But its not what they do..
It is how people treat each other.
And people have no respect these
days for each other.. Most barely
respect themselves. |

And the other contributory factor
is what ladies? All together now:
"MEN"!!!! |

I think divorce is caused by
mistrust, looking for more
excitement, abuse and a lot of
other reasons. No one has more
power than the other, that is all
up to the male or female as to how
far and how long it can go on. |

Women's empowerment were never the
issue. Many men can't abide without
living in the stone age. |

No a woman should have the same
power as men do . |

Women need to be impowrered not
put down and if a men does not
understand are respect that women
they do not need to be married. |

No i don't think so, divorce rate
has increased only due to
misunderstanding and over
expectations but not empowerment |
