So is the divorce rate so high in the US because of women and their New Age "Femi-nazi" attitudes?

Question

The divorce rate in the US is around 60%. Is it because all the new Oprah shlt that women watch and now American women think that everything should be catered to their needs and it should be ALL romance and crap like they read in their romance novels? Maybe if American women had an attitude change and didn't have that attitude "All about me" then marriages would be so much better off today.

Answer 1

It is more likely that women no longer have to remain trapped in a marriage where they are treated without respect, mistreated, or abused. They no longer need to remain trapped in marriages where husbands cheat or drink too much. With women now having more earning potential than before they know they can leave and still live reasonably comfortably.

The high divorce rate may also be contributed to by the fact that people have, for the last few decades, been told there is not really any such thing as "romantic love" and that they should marry their best friend. This "advice" sounds so intellectual and so reasonable people have listened to it and ended up in marriages that aren't what they supposed to be.

If you knew at all what goes on in the lives of real women you would not be living under the dilusion that there's a shred of reality in the belief that women are now "catered to". You're also diluded in our belief that more than a minority of women read those romance novels.

There pretty much has never been, and continues not being, any "all about me" when it comes to women. If you ask most people (or at least experts or anyone else who knows what they're talking about), the " all about me" part of most marriages is usually is about the guy.

You obviously know more about what Oprah Winfrey has on her television show than I do. I've never watched her show. I do know from interviews she's given the late night talk shows that her show is pretty much aimed at a certain demographic, and I assume that includes less educated women and less "empowered" women than the majority of women are. I don't think any of the women I know watch Oprah. You apparently live in a very small world.

The fact is your assumption that all women watch the Oprah Winfrey show, read romance novels, and (this one is the real dillusion you have) want to be catered to is not necessarily a unique one. Also, that's not what "feminism" is at all about.

Feminism has, however, raised women's awareness that a good marriage is one in which the two people treat each other with respect, work together as a team, and don't see one gender as less worthy of respect than the other. So, in that way, yes, feminism may have contributed to a higher divorce rate by telling women they didn't need to remain trapped in horrible, loveless, and lousy marriages to ignorant, disrespectful, clods.

Maybe the 60% says more about the number of men who are ignorant clods than it says about anything else.

Answer 3

A divorce happens between a man and a woman...so it is not just a woman's fault. It's sexist of you to blame women.
You are one of those men who cause these divorces because u think women have the responsibility of being passive and submissive to u

Answer 4

No the problem is that men like you aren't listening to your girlfriends "femi-nazi" preachings before you marry them and then get suprised when she doesn't do everything you want on command. Sorry Bubba but doing the dishes occasionally or waiting for her to orgasm first once in a while isn't "feminazi" ideals or romance, it's just common decency.

Answer 5

you know men like you are the reason rates are so high in divorces now days because you think everything is about you and no one else and its not post to be like that it should be 50/50 but some men still live in the cave age well fellas come out of the cave and smell the 2000's because we sure have..

Answer 6

If the divorce rate rising is a result of women's equality then so be it. Its about time women starting to get the 'all about me' idea just like men.
But I think the divorce rate may be going up because women aren't looking the other way while their spouse screws them over anymore.

Answer 7

What ******* continent do you live on? First of all you can't even hardly find a real man anymore. Show me a street full of men anywhere ,that can support his family, respect his wife, stay faithful to his wife, help raise and discipline his children, balance a check book, take his family to church, make love to his wife and doesn't have the TV remote growing out of his hand and I will show you a street full of women who are "all about you".

Answer 8

Absolutely. Look at the "submissive" cultures. Their women are happy and married(except the two that make the news.)

Answer 9

You've had a bitter divorce, huh? Good for her dumping you!!
I highly doubt you'll ever be married again, so don't worry about the USA divorce rate.

Answer 10

Preach it, my brother! My relationship was great until my wife went into the Army, and now she's divorcing me with no good reason and acting like she's never known me. I don't know WTF happened, but hopefully she will meet one of these macho wife-beating types and slap her silly until she realizes she had a good hubby to begin with.
