Women's Rights = Divorce Rate, New Debate Topic Options

[Uronacid]

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?

Well, to play a devil's advocate.

Can't we say that the rise of the "career woman" and the "single mother" is a result of "feminism" empowering more and more women to attend such roles?

I think that it's possible. If women begin to see the "career woman" as a role model I think it will definitely cause problems. They may struggle with the idea of what role they think they are supposed to play and what they actually are playing. This will definitely cause problems. People become stress and irritable when they aren't achieving their "goals". Even if they don't realize that they are their goals.

My mother for example doesn't know how to be anything but a house wife, but her sisters are career women and she's always trying to be one. My mother however cannot be one, and it frustrates her deeply. I believe that she takes it out on everyone else without realizing what her real problem is. She flips out when someone tells her she's not the type to have a job, she goes out and gets a job, and she quits the job within a month. It's pathetic... she was born a house wife. xD
