Many western societies fail to see the immense damage the feminist movement has caused , you are all focusing only on one side of the equation, refer back to my post about all the ills of society , then if you have an answer to them we can continue the discussion
How do you have an objective discussion with a person who isn't even aware of the history of women throughout time?
Damage? Does this look like damage to you?
1. Educated women gain opportunities to rise out of poverty and support themselves.
2. Educated women have a better ability to look out for the health of the family through proper nutrition, exercise, medical treatment, and avoiding the causes of diseases and ailments.
3. Educated women encourage their daughters to study so that they can have a better life too.
4. Educated women take control of family planning and tend to use birth control when they've had enough children and therefore do not have to suffer any unwanted pregnancies and ill health.
5. Educated women participate actively in the social, cultural and political spheres in society instead of focusing only on the domestic sphere.
6. Educated women have the ability to nurture the family on higher levels than just providing clean clothes, clean house and meals.
7. Educated women tend to have higher self-esteem and more direction for their family, career, and personal life.
It is true that well educated women tend to have fewer children, but this allows for better quality of life for the family because of more quality time for each other, less financial strain for feeding clothing and educating, and increased ability to help pay for kids to reach a higher level of education. It is also less of a strain on the planet which suffers from overpopulation. In the old days women had kids early and died early, in many cases from childbirth. It is definitely better for women get an education first before starting a family and then plan their family size. As for highly educated women choosing not to marry, or men not wanting to marry a highly educated woman - so what? People have to do what makes them happy.
I'm still searching for the negative effects of "feminism" on society.
