Is women's rights destroying family values?

Answer 1

Why? How can you imagine one human being, deprived from her rights to be happy and satisfied? Women's rights are the structural part of human rights. Mother or wife is a member of the family, not it's slave. If family values are based on depriving women from their rights, then there is something really wrong, sick and selfish in those values. If family does not support her in her self-realization and self- development, then this family makes it very hard for this woman. Indeed, marriage laws in most of developed countries guarantee equal rights for self development and self-realization for both partners.
Would you like to make it hard for your wife?

Answer 2

No. It is the men that are opposed to this which create the opposition. Granted, a female is the weaker sex compared to a man for strength capabilities, but in the end, it will be the female that tries to hold the family together. You'll find that more men will say, "I can't handle this" and try to take the easy way out. Women will say, "Let's try to work this out".
Unless, you want to be the sole breadwinner in the family, I wouldn't question it. Just remember prices are going up (Gas, gas, etc.). You may need to get 2 jobs, while she sits at home raising your children, while they're in school and she has nothing but time on her hands. Men are part of the family value system also. The woman is there to help you and keep you strong. You are both teachers.

Answer 3

if family values means women staying at home, cleaning, cooking and generally bending to her husbands every will and looking after the children, then HELL YES! and good riddance. If family values means a secure, happy, loving home with healthy relationships and cared-for children, then no. its making the family a better, more equal place to grow up and giving much better role models for female children. If anything will destroy real family values it will be ignorant, pig headed men who will not accept equal status with their wives and who will not play an equal role in the home - thus breaking their families apart.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say women's rights destroyed family values. I would say that the ultra feminists movement is.

I'm a woman so I know that this is probably surprising that I should think this way.

However, this movement has devalued motherhood by treating stay at home moms as lazy, dependent, secondclass citizens. They also want to make our men so sensitive and soft that they act like women themselves. I know that I don't want to be married to a woman in a man's body.

Women think they have to be superwomen to be anything. That means that we pop our babies out and go back to work in 6 weeks. We drop the babies off to be raised by someone else for 9-10 hours each day. Then we pick them up, feed them, give them a bath and put them to bed. It's sad, really.

Women's rights? No, I want to be treated like an equal human being with the rights that go with it.

Ultra feminists movement? Abolutely!!!

Answer 5

I don't think that women's rights are destroying family values but maybe the journey of getting to equality is a contributing factor. Women have had to consistently work harder to prove themselves worthy of the same rights and privileges that men have. We're fighting so hard and putting so much of ourselves into the quest for equality that we don't have the same time or energy for family that we used to. In our goal to achieve balance, men need to share in our goals and help us fight this fight.

Answer 6

You mean demeaning patriarchial values?? I think everyone defines "family values" in a different way. They correspond with what particular people want for themselves and their life. What a horrible life it would be to assume that people with penises had all the answers and should be the sole definers of what "family values" are.

BTW, the grammatically correct phrasing of your question: "Are women's rights destroying family values?"

Answer 7

What century are you living in? We have had rights for years. There is no women's lib/burning bra gatherings happening right now....What's destroying family values is dead beat parents, male and female. The violence that consumes our cities, people having to live in a family where both have to work their a** off to make sure their kids are taken care of, single parents scraping by to make ends meet, and fast paced living, rude people, and a lack of alot of kindness.

Answer 8

We have lived in a patriarchial society for thousands of years. Look at the state of the planet. If there was a balance between the feminine and masculine energies the world would be a nicer place to live, therefore, families would benefit.

Answer 9

Everything works to the good. And I find that the womens lib
movement opened the door to rights for men too. In that they
have been conditioned by society as well. It will all be for the best.
Think positive Mr Skerry.

Answer 10

Personally no. We should all respect one another and believe that's all they're asking. The system though is very unfair to men and always backs women whatever family issues there are, I think just to be seen doing something about "equality issues".
