The Debate:
The divorce rate has been on a major rise over the past few decades. Women's rights have escalated throughout the course of the previous century and continue the rise in rise in this one. Humankind is searching for sexual equality, but is "equality" really the answer? Scientifically we excel in different areas. Is there a connection between the divorce rate and women's rights? |

^ I like the phrasing of that answer.
I just read a very interesting rough draft in my History of NYC in the 20th Century seminar today. Her paper was on the development of radical feminism in NYC, and specifically how feminism was shaped in New York. I think that this topic could be argued both ways. But of course, it has to be kept in mind that divorces are a lot more easier to obtain today than they were say even 20 years ago. And say, half of the number of divorces are filed for by women. It could be said that because of women's rights and the argument for women's equality that it has shaped women today to be able to go to court and file for divorce. So, if "equality" between the genders did not exist today, divorce rates may be 1/4 lower or some percentage lower because it would be more difficult for women to obtain a divorce. |
