do you think economic independence of women have led to broken homes ?

Question

please give strong points to support your answer

Answer 1

Are you serious? You think that a home is "broken" because a woman has her own money? That's pretty niave. I think most "broken homes" are secondary to the fact that our society doesn't emphasize the fact that marriage is not always fun and requires work. People need to realize that if they get married and are having problems they need to work them out instead of giving up, running off, or having affairs. Everyone wants everything to be easy, they want immediate gratification without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Therefore I think a relaxed society with a decay of family values have led to more divorces, affairs, abuse and undervaluing of the importance of having 2 parents for a home, regardless of who has economic power in the relationship.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe that economic independence of women have led to broken homes. I also believe that what the male counter part must pay in child support and alimony makes it easier for a single mother to survive. Also, women being recognized as equals in society also has had a huge impact.
Marriage used to be a necessity because there was no hope for a single mother. It was not uncommon that a man and a women would hook up because he had an infant that needed nursing and there was a widowed women with milk because survival depended on each other. The man had to have a woman to take care of the children while he worked the land and children became an asset. Marriages lasted because they had to and without staying united both parties would fail. I am not saying they were good marriages, but they did last.

Answer 3

No, I don't think so. I think because we call it as a Menz World, so Economic Independence of Women is not digested by the males that is the main reason of broken homes, otherwise woman is always a home maker not a home breaker. Yes, there could be some cases, then what, exceptions are everywhere.

Answer 4

I hold the human potential movement of the 60's and our instant gratification society of today more responsible than women's economic independence. Kids now are so over-indulged, over-stimulated and over-entertained, they do not understand that they sometimes must stick with something past the point that it is fun for them. They grow up that way, and they cry divorce as soon as a marriage might require a little work. They saw their parents bail, and so most of them do not have a model of a strong marriage and a strong family for better or worse.

Answer 5

NO! I think abusive and brutal men mistreated their women when women could not leave the relationship because of social condemnation,and the inability to find well paying work. Then during world war 2 (1940's) ROSIE THE RIVETER led women out of their misery and women learned that they could have a life without an abusive man. It does appear to me that feminist have become the abusive ones. I would say to both men and women that it takes two loving and compromising people to make a good strong marriage. It only takes one Tyrant to cause a divorce. Whistle Britches

Answer 6

I don't think it's the economic independence so much. I think that two people working hard all day come home and they need to unwind but a kid or two is pushing their buttons in the background
and everyone's hungry and no one feels like cooking--the overload cause husband and wife to break down and squall at each other, and the squalls get worse and worse until eventually they separate and get a divorce.

Answer 7

Yes. When women into career, there might be more stress due to the multitasking by both, but probably women might do more, since she might do housechores. A stressed out couple often lead to fighting.

Also, there will be less communication and quality time, since both getting busy, and thus a misunderstand between the couple can be easily heading to divorce.

Another way to look also, as woman has financial freedom, they will also have determinance to quit the marriage and find another man whenever she dissatisfied with her husband.

Answer 8

no, economic independence does not lead to broken homes, it is two people not getting along, leading to a broken home. and while the divorce rate has risen, consider the fact that now people r more open to the options available to stay happy. it used to be that more often than not, people in a failling relation ship would keep it behind closed doors, drowning secretly in their own sorrows.
people dont accept that anymore, so more likly, it is the search to allways be satisfide that leads to broken homes, which isn't allways a bad thing

Answer 9

Unfortunately, yes........ but due to the contrary, no. Women are very strong minded and quick thinkers. In these times, women really make a great impact, the independence leads them, so therefore, most are even bread winners over men.

Answer 10

Indirectly it allowed women to leave a "bad" marriage.
But I believe that it is just the state of humanity that causes broken homes more than economical Independence,marrying too young, lack of interdependence , wanting MORE, lack of communication and so forth that really causes it.
