Has feminism turned most modern women into selfish, self-centered people?

Question

All time low levels of happiness in marriages, all time high divorce rates since feminism has taken root. Do most women no longer care about their husbands needs? Not wants, needs. Men have needs just like women do. Why are men's needs by and large considered less important? What do you think?

Don't forget the word "most" in the line above. Not all, most.

Try to address the bases of the question people. If you can't do that don't bother answering.

Answer 1

Women, generally speaking, suck. Equal rights!!!!! But you better open my door and treat me like a lady or you're a pig. Women don't know what the heck they want, and that's really nothing new. As far as marriage goes, that's the fault of both sexes. Used to be, people got married and spent their lives trying to make eachother happy. Now, people get married because it seems the logical next step in their relationship. Then, they spend their time talking about how they're unhappy and wanting to know what the other person is going to do to fix it. It's no longer, "I love you, what can I do to make you happy?"... it's.. "If you love me, you better think of ways to make me happy or I'll just divorce you!"
People don't realize that you get what you give. If you dote on and love on someone, and do everything in your power to make them happy and feel loved.... you can bet the farm that they, in return, will dish it all back out to you.

In short, women are friggin NUTS and don't know what the heck they want..... and in general, people marry for the wrong reasons because all they have to do is get a divorce if they change their minds...

Answer 2

Many women will never experience an orgasm, many who work do a double job of taking care of home and working full time, in most relationships, women are still the ones who make sacrifices for the man's job...

Why do you think women have a monopoly on ignoring what the other person needs in a relationship?

HUMANS have a tendancy to be selfish, self-centered people. Humans no longer really care about their partner's needs. Our society has gotten by and large less concerned with anything but our own desires.

Answer 3

I think that feminism has made most women realize what their needs really are. In the past, the women only served the man's needs, with no attention paid to themselves. Now that women realize that it's ok to have those needs, they are rightfully demanding that men meet their needs as well as vice versa.

Now, what makes you think that it's the women who think men's needs are less important? Why do most men think their needs are more important than a woman's? Because that's been my experience. I've seen a man insist that the woman quit her job to stay home with the kids, even though she made more money, because he "needed" it that way. Men that insist that the woman come home from work and cook the meal because he "needs" to relax after a hard day at work.

Seems to me the the inconsideration in relationships goes both ways, and that people in general are too selfish.

Answer 4

Don't judge most women, some women or any woman for that matter by the actions of someone from your past. It's not really about what women need versus what men need and putting it on a scale of which is more important. There are human needs that need to met. I know it sounds cliche but I think open, honest communication and mutual respect for each other is the key to success. Most of us just don't learn it until much later.

Answer 5

(A) Feminism is an antidote for Male chauvinism.

(B) The concept of feminism is to claim and restore basic rights of women to live on this earth just as any other human being since the rights still are denied in some areas.Low wages, ill treatment by male counterparts or employers and child abuse are all some of the examples.

(C) Failures in marriages are definitely not due to feminism as there are several other factors involved such as incompatibility, greed for money and differences of all kinds. So, women do care for men as much as men care for women. Feminism has no roll in this. I can assure you that much!

Answer 6

Yes i do feel it has .... It has taught us to be self centered and selfish and to not ever have to listen to a man. I feel this is wrong because as women we are to be in subjection unto our own husbands and be the wives we need to be to them. Men and women both have needs and there is not one person more important then any other. Feminism never should have happened but since it has we need to live in spite of it.

Answer 7

Somewhere is a complimentary balance between sexes. Society has decided to assit in forcing a "balance" thru feminism that started out with good intentions...respect & recognition. The pendulum has swung wide of the mark.

I don't know if it is "most" but definately some. I believe the issue is the emasculation of men and role model confusion for children. When I was a kid you might shed a tear but you brushed off your knees and kept going. Lord forbid your buddies thougth you a wus.

Now boys wimp out first. Many kids come off the field of play because they "fell down." Role models no longer say, suck it up or get over it. Now its...get in touch with your feelings, blah, blah, blah.

Girls have to grow up to be strong because the boys are growing up to be gentle, caring, empathetic (all good) wimps (bad) to counter balance girls selfish, self-centered (bad) feminism (good).

Answer 8

In truth, it is probably defense against creepy self centered men that has turn some women into this.

Answer 9

MOST WOMEN--- do work now days, its hard to really think of them back as a house wife as there mothers may have been...the load of marriage take on both parties now days. if both work both share the duties of the bills and house hold chores. i was one of the first to burn my bra,lol in the early70's divorced and had to raise 2 children. it was such freedom, i gained a job as a manager of a womens clothing store. haden't worked at all till then. i was 30....but had been a wife of a navy officer so i knew how to hold down the fort when he was gone for 18months at a time. you have to learn to be independent......women have become indepedent, much of the time earning more then their husbands......MOST women do have a big load on them. and yes men have needs also.......that suggests sex to me that you might me talking about.....their are most of the time children, a home to care for meals to get done, driving children to games and so on....this takes 2 adults...not just one. my children in their generation were called the latch-key kids..........they came home from school and let them self in and done thier chores, home work and got dinner started.....i used to cook one day a week and make pre cooked meales, casarols ect, and put them in the freezer. my children are very succesful now in their life, mainaly because they had the responsibitly at a younger age...cause mom worked. Iam starting to see mor and more women staying at home, and alot of them working at home out of their home office.....they stillhave to drive their children youngen's here and there most of the time....i don't see the balance of more divorces, as you seem to. its always been there.....women do work harder then men, and yes most of them do not get the appreation they deserve, most are buying them self gifts.....cause husbands forget or just don't know after 10 years of marrage what to buy them.....
