Why bother getting married to end it 2 years later?<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't think that we should assume that the majority of marriages ending in their first 4 years are being ended by women . .Momilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601711936352410389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30992975.post-1153425857071811212006-07-20T13:04:00.000-07:002006-07-20T13:04:00.000-07:00Salma Says:To me, rising divorce rates are a direc...Salma Says:<BR/><BR/>To me, rising divorce rates are a direct outcome of the feminist revolution. More freedom = more choice. More choice = more options. More options = more divorce. Tell me what option a mother of 4 who hates her husband had in the 1800s? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say none. Stigma alone was enough to make someone stay.<BR/><BR/>The feminist revolution also allowed women the opportunity to go out and make their own comfortable living without being wholly dependant on a suitor. NICEY! Take away the NEED to remain married and all you're left with is a choice. An option. <BR/><BR/>This also created friction in the home because traditional roles were being challenged. Women are feeling that they can do anything a man can do and more. Men are wondering where that leaves them. I'd imagine this is fairly emasculating. Ask my past suitors ;-)<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 bits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
