If the women's movement for equal rights wouldn't have taken place ?

Question

Would the children now a days be so uneducated, obese, undisciplined, and materialistic. We have allowed the school system, daycares, and everyelse but the parents raise the kids.

Answer 1

I'm mostly speaking from the changes brought about from the "Feminine Mystique" era. As far as the right to vote and other "intellectual" rights of poeple on the basis of every person being a soverign citizen, I think that women are, and should be equal.

I've thought about things like this for years, and it seems that the emphasis on "every woman deserves to go out and have a job to prove that she's free" was a bit over-rated, not to mention in hind-sight, it seemed like more of a synthetic "push" to stimulate the economy, and force us to throw our priorities on material things we DON'T really need.

Maybe it wasn't so visible in the 60's and 70's, but I was a typical GenX latchkey kid, who would have given anything to have at least one parent around, either one, for a little guidance, the kind of guidance that only those who invested in your birth could provide (because frankly, no one outside of family really does care that much for you in the end).

As women entered the workforce en masse, the "living wage" didn't keep up, because companies knew that they could depend on both parents making a living, not just one. Because of my age, I didn't have much choice in whether or not I should "work", but I really think that the economic results of women in payroll jobs helped companies grow into large, exploitive corporations, and didn't allow time for the small-time entrepreneurship that we used to see in the middle class (most of whom were husband and wife teams involved in small businesses, non-franchise stores, services, or other ventures). So it seems that the overall skill-set of both men and women in America has gone down with the need to "have a job, any job, just to make ends meet".

With all this, the education system has suffered, because there was no one to get involved in the PTA's, or to push the school system to meet necessary goals for the kids.

And the kids are not raised, they are virtual orphans, taking affection where they can get it in a system that treats them like cogs in a machine or a number to certify the amount of money a particular school will get form the government.

So really, no I don't feel free. I feel like a proletarian indentured servant, a slave with many masters, not just one. Thankfullly, my husband and I don't have children to neglect (our choice, not until we can afford to actually raise them properly).

Answer 2

The question is simple yet so true. I am all for womens rights but lets get fricken real here. That statement is so true and when women talk about independence its usually implies neglecting their children or having children all together for their careers, multiple sex partners, and other materialistic things. They think it makes them equal but when it comes down to it, they are full of BS. Why do I say this...well if women want total equality then why do nice guys finish last. Why do so many women want an alpha male...because ITS HUMAN NATURE. The male dominates, does that mean women are inferior no, its just how it is in nature. WOMEN WANT EQUALITY AND INDEPENDENCE BUT UNDER ONLY ONE CONDITION...IT ALWAYS FAVORS THEM. Sorry ladies, independence goes both ways, there are pro's and con's but they just want it when it favors them.

Answer 3

i'm unlikely to talk the ladies's rights project via fact that I help all however the era (no longer needed). I only factor out that inspite of the rights's circulation our babies are nonetheless under-knowledgeable, a million out of three babies in California are over weight or obese and over 50% of youngsters look to have cellular telephones, ipods and different materialistic issues. And with the severe fee of ladies interior the artwork tension (no argument right here) that degrades the classic determine (sure, mom) of elevating the youngster. you're able to stability females's rights with the result it could deliver approximately once you blame the faculties, centers, television, and so on on the matters with our babies. i'm only happy my son is 21 and we appeared have carried out ok. And sure, his mom remained residing house with him for the duration of his college years. And sure, I made adequate money to make it obtainable. yet we did no longer purchase new automobiles each 2 years.... you're making sacrifices to preserve you youngster inspite of rights.

Answer 4

It's moms fault families need two jobs to just pay the bills? It's mom's fault that gas is almost $4.00 a gallon! It's mom's fault that rents run $12,000 a year out of the big cities, and even more in them! It's mom's fault that electric bills are close to $300.00 a month!

That is a big leap!

Watch Ironed Hawed Angels with Hillary Swank sometime and see how women got the right to vote, and that wasn't until Wilson's second term! Watch it though, you might learn something!

Answer 5

Strong point. A house is not a home. Not everybody fits the descriptions
' wife ', ' mother ', ' homemaker ', ' lady of the house.' We're just as much conditioned to rebel against these fundamental virtues. I wouldn't want to see women treated as chattel or nonentities. The above isn't for everyone either. Respect. Once a society loses that, what's the point of codifying behaviour if nobody observes it?

Answer 6

No. That is not to say I wish it hadn't taken place... It just appears to be one of the unintended consequences.

Neddie = dumbass, this problem is way older than the year 2000 and GWB is hardly a fiscal conservative. Look at the state of NY where they literally throw money away into a broken public education system then talk to me about blaming fiscal conservatives. You are a clown.

Answer 7

Of course they would! Women worked outside the home before we had the right to vote. Without the Women's Rights Movement, we would still have all the problems we have today, we just wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Answer 8

You have a point. Women say that they are independent, so they can get away with working all day, and leave thier kid to be raised by someone else.

Answer 9

the children are our future,,, they are educating themselves,, because our system is in crisis,,, a bunch of fiscal conservatives took over the government in 2000 and attempted to warp their minds,, but they, the kids are smarter than their parents or the government, or the teachers,,,
oh, and if frogs had wings, would they fly,,,

Answer 10

Yes they would. You place too much gravity on one event that you seem to disagree with. Equal rights are never a bad idea. You are a lesser person for thinking otherwise. (hah)
