(Families) better with or without feminism?
Is society as a whole better off with or without feminism?
We all know it's gifted women many things, but we've also lost a lot in the process. How can anyone truly say, daycare and after school programs are better for kids? Single parent homes better? The family's really better off eating processed garbage every night because mothers aren't around to cook a healthy meal.
Wages haven't kept pace with the cost of living because the workforce is flooded with men and women. The average worker has no bargaining chip because they can just hirer the next desperate worker.
Since Feminism, what happen to fathers? Once the head of the house, respected, the strength and pillar that supported the family has almost disappeared. 60 plus years of feminism and a 50 percent divorce rate, meaning 50 percent of families are broken homes. 60 plus years of awarding a man's children to women. The role of father has been reduced to optional. Many father's just walk away after loosing everything.
Interesting to see how millions of women would fair after being stripped of their home, children and a large portion of your income.
60 plus years with feminism, so is the quality of life really better for society? In my opinion people have become so dysfunctional you can't even let your kids play in the yard without the risk of them being snatched. Murders, rapes, massive male prison populations, poverty, single parents & teen pregnancy are some of the by-products since the family unit has been destroyed.
Children just don't get the full-time nurturing they once did from mothers, nor do they get the solid foundation from a strong father figure, then these kids turn into adults.

Should I laugh now. You keep believing everything you read as long as it supports the feminist / liberal lies.
Of course with a 50 percent divorce rate, both parents have much more time with the kids. Especially the working mothers. How could we even compare a full-time stay at home mother to a mother working full time.
But your right, kids are getting much more parenting time. And 2 + 2 ='s 6.

I also have a college education, but the thing I've come to realize is that real life never matches what looks great in a classroom or on paper.
Example: The greatest educated minds couldn't predict the largest economy in the world was heading for massive trouble, the fall of the housing market, credit market and financial market?
All their teachings, books and ideology said this can't happen. (Mr. Greenspan) Despite all that has happened the ideology is still the same and nothing has been learned. Sure token rules and regulation have been put in place with tons of back doors.

At seventeen you haven't a clue. You can't even begin to understand the dynamics that actual adults face on a daily basic. And at 17 you shouldn't have to, enjoy your childhood.
You questioned how, concluded this.
("Murders, rapes, massive male prison populations, poverty, single parents & teen pregnancy are some of the by-products since the family unit has been destroyed."
I find it hard to imagine how you can link all those things to feminism. )
Dysfunction breeds more dysfunction.

Where did I make claims of hating women?
Do I hate sacks of crap like you, yes.
The good ole days, Do you mean when females like you didn't exist or before women became total victims under feminists. lies?
Maybe a time when women and men actually believed and supported families? Instead of the feminist (changed) version of family - code from single mother.
So two parents working full-time actually spend more time with their children. Only feminist logic which amounts to illogic could make that one up.

That would depend on the family -- every family/situation is unique.
However, if we are to draw up all commonalities between different families based on the traditional family-structure, I can say, as an equalist or an egalitarian, that kids have the best of both the worlds if they're taught about sexism/racism/other isms and about how they affect human lives.

The massive prison population is from racist drug laws-- half of the prison population is there because of drug charges or other non-violent offenses.

feminism or not, families can have problems. my grandmother was a religious housewife in the 50's who didn't have a career or even much of an education for that matter. her second husband abused her children and molested my mother, and she was afraid to speak up to him because he abused her as well and depended on him for money. she didn't divorce him because she believed divorce was wrong in the eyes of god. however in a situation like this, her independence really could've saved her children from being emotionally scarred. but instead she remained under her husband's thumb and that just made the situation worse. sorry but in this day and age it's every man and woman for themselves, which means that when i have children i'll make sure that i teach them, especially my little girl, how to take care of themselves and value themselves. that being said, womens' empowerment if used correctly (in cases such as this) is actually beneficial.

"Parents today spend much more time with their children than they did 40 years ago. The sociologists Suzanne Bianchi, John Robinson and Melissa Milkie report that married mothers in 2000 spent 20 percent more time with their children than in 1965. Married fathers spent more than twice as much time." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/05/opinion/05coontz.html?_r=2

maybe feminism isn't the answer, it's part of the process. I think kids are better off if one parent is home with them. Then again, i'm biased. My mom stayed home until I was in 1st grade - and then I got home from school (and over summer) and did chores with my dad :)
