Why radicalist feminists think that marriage and having children marginalize women?

Answer 1

They feel it enslaves them.
Plus they're probably p*ssed off being born a female.

Answer 2

I don't know if "radicalist feminists" actually think that. I don't even know if there is such a thing as a "radicalist feminist," but having raised two children while trying to stay married and have a career at the same time, I believe whoever those women are, they might have a point.

Answer 3

I don't know, and would love to understand this one...I consider myself a feminist...had a very feminist father too...but I don't fit the "mold" of most feminist these days. I embrace the differences between men and women and believe that women are best suited to raising children at home in the early years, particularly....The women I, personally, have a problem with are those that neglect their family duty for a paycheck. I have my degrees and could work forever, but when the time comes, I think the responsible and more feminist woman will choose to stop working and raise a family...out of want and value...is that marginalizing? If so, we're fu*cked.

Answer 4

I suppose it would surprise people to know that that is NOT what all of think. There are feminist who are mothers and have great families. Most of us think that women should have the right to be FREE thinking, and if it is your CHOICE to be a working mother or a working single or a stay at home mother and wife (BTW that's work also) that you should not be penalized for doing so. Most of us feel that women should be able to make choices without other people JUDGING them.

Answer 5

Anytime a movement becomes radical, it winds up hurting the very people it was designed to help. Some women are so busy scorning those of us who are married with children, they overlook the fact that these relationships bring joy to live -- not enslavement.

What a sad life.

Answer 6

Because they ARE radical. From one extreme to another. They are unable to find a balance.
We have the freedom to chose a career over family and kids, just like we have the freedom to have kids and family over a career. In the same way we have a right to have BOTH a career AND family.
The choice is ours. it doesn't marginalize anybody!

Answer 7

Because they feel that the "talents" that women having are being wasted...however they don't seem to understand that to raise a child that becomes a mature and responsible member of society is a full-time job.

Answer 8

I think it's because the roles of wife and mother are seen as stereotypical by these women. They want to break the mold and not be expected to marry and raise children.
What these women are overlooking, though, is that these are our roles as women - not as defined by society, but as defined by nature.

Answer 9

Because they hate men ( probably connected to their upbringing)
and want all the women for themselves.

What do they think marriage and children marginalise women from? Beats me. Isn't it normal and natural to want those things?

I have just realised that, because they can't, or don't want to do those things themselves, they don't want other women to do them. It's their way of trying to make the outside world match their twisted inner world.

Answer 10

They dont understand the meaning of life, which is to proceate. And they
are somewhat selfish, I really dont kno any myself, in reality does anyone
really need them, our Govt is by the people, for the people, and if we need
more laws to protect womans rights they will pass them. Maybe the radical
feminist just get them moving faster.

Answer 11

They think that?! haha.. That's pretty outrageous. Probably because they're crazy, but maybe it's because culturaly men are the head of the house, and they don't like that.
