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?

Fist,

I was not insulting your mom. What I said last was that you come from an Asian-American background. I know that a lot of Asians are hard-workers and try to be the best they can. I clarified this? I asked you questions to invalidate it because your case was an exception to mine. I wasn't debating or picking on you. I was applying my stance on your point of view. That we apparently need women to stay at home all of the time.

If you want personal stories, here, I was not raised by mom. My mom was a housewife, and she was a poor one, at that. She taught me how to speak, how to color, and that's about it. Nothing else. She could not teach me math, and she wasn't interested in reading books. Without her help in anything in my life, I've aced subjects across the board in school and I also went to college. I've been fine without her. So, I can tell you that, no, there is no need for mothers to stay at home and monitor the house. Who says all housewives love their job, anyway? Moreover, who says that they will all be like your mother?

Perhaps you failed to see my point in a broader aspect. Your mom isn't the only housewife in this world. I know many housewives. My boyfriend knows a lot of housewives in his state, as well, and they are all lower-class, fat white trash who raise lower-class, fat white trash children. Would you prefer the reflection of America to be white trash? To pork out on Twinkies and Ding-Dongs and spend their time learning how to use TiVo?

Do you get my point now? Being a housewife with children is a "monkey see, monkey do" thing. Your mom was not once "unsuccessful." She taught you to be something different. Those types of housewives? The, "I don't care what you do, be what you want" housewives? Their kids will be nothing in this world. There is no argument. These kids will never learn perseverance or hard-work or the importance of education and moving forward.

Again, I had stated in my very first post, "disregarding personal choice." I do not give two shits about what women choose to do with their lives. You spoke of housewives as if it's something necessary, and I wanted to ask you why. However, glad to know that I'm a f**king dick shit. I get it from my mom :).

Brooklyneast,

I agree with you there. At least you understand my point. My dad was much better at house work than my mom. Single dads are actually sometimes much better than single moms because they're more protective whereas the mom is more likely to be the, "Honey, I support you in anything, even drugs and sex" deal.
