Why I think gay marriage is a sham...

[Maren]

All you have to do is look at the divorce rate since the 60s. Since second wave feminism divorce has skyrocketed. Feminism is the number 1 destoryer of marriages today. Read the "Proper Care and feeding of Marriage" by Dr. Laua Schlessinger

Feminism has been the underpinning of a ten-fold increase in the US divorce rate and more than a three-fold increase in government spending as a percent of GDP. And lets not even get into the 60 million dead unborn they pressured into happened with RoeVWade

Sorry, that isn't evidence, especially since you didn't claim anything about marriage rates but rather about the marriages of feminists. Please support that a feminist has been married 3 or 4 times on average.

Not to mention, even if you did claim that feminism was the cause of the rising divorce rate you would have to prove it is the factor that has caused the divorces. Instead, based on your chart, it is equally likely that the increase of the budget is just as likely a cause for the increase in abortion rates. Correlation does not equal causation.

Men with identity problems. If a woman wants to remove every ounce of dignity she has, by all means become a feminist.

You might want to tone down your insults about feminist, just because you don't believe men and women should be equal, doesn't give you the right to insult us. Not very Christian like of you, as you Christian you're supposed to love your enemies. (Because feminists are your enemies, right?) Don't lie because lying is a sin and that wouldn't be Christian of you.


Oh and did a feminist beat you up are something, because you seem to have an irrational hatred towards us. Did a feminist hurt you, if that's not the case then is it because you believe feminism has ruined your chances of ever getting married? I only ask this because you're blaming feminism for the high divorce so are you afraid that your wife may divorce you because of us "evil feminists?"

Are you afraid that us feminists are going to go after your children? Oh and are you scared we're going to turn your wife into a lesbian?

i dont think feminists avg 3 or 4 divorces....thats hogwash

I've had one (divorce)... then I remarried the man I divorced... does that nullify the divorce? (When we went to get the marriage licences for the 2nd marriage the clerk got all confused when she saw that both of us had a previous marriage ... to each other- I don't know why she was confused.. I know we're not the only couple to get back together after a divorce)

I don't know a lot of people who have been divorced 3 or 4 times, but my husband has been divorced 3x (2 previous wives, then me....) and he does identify as a feminist. ....

second wave feminism started around the 60s. As we can see in the chart this is when divorces started booming and skyrocketing. Feminism is a social disaster and sadly its taken a big toll on family, children and the dignity of women. Feminists impose tremendous pressure on traditional women by denigrating the role of a traditional housewife. Read some of Phyllis Schlafly's books to get the insight on what feminism is actually like these days.

Yes, because the only way a woman can possibly have dignity is as a wife and mother in a 1950s household.

Put on some pants. Your bias is showing.

Feminism didn't destroy marriage; thats just ridiculous, and if I felt more zealous, I'd label that as an outright lie.

Yeah, he seems mad that feminism has ruined his chances of getting a woman who doesn't want to just be a 1950's housewife. Because women believing they don't have to be only housewives is BAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the "Proper Care and feeding of Marriage" by Dr. Laua Schlessinger

Dr. Laura is nauseating, did she write that book after the Proper care and Feeding of Husbands? My husband is not an infant or a pet, and I prefer the professionals I get advice from have a degree in something other than physiology... a certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling doesn't cut it especially when it's inactive.

Well then your obviously not living in reality. It dosen't take a genuis to see the damage that feminism has caused to the traditional family household. If feminism really helped the divorce rates shoulda dropped, not increased. And now all it has left in its trails are 60 million unborn babys dead, thousands of broken familys and hurt children in single households, and kids being dumped in daycare without adequate attention from both parents.

so, did the feminist movements for women's suffrage of the early 1900's destroy the political system?

Women used to not even have the RIGHT to divorce their husband prior to the fifties! unless they could PROVE in the court of law they were being beaten, raped, or mentally tortured, or abandoned, many women legally had no grounds to file for divorce. Proving infidelity is quite difficult. yet, men could file for divorce if they wanted, for almost any reason at all! prior to the fifties, it was men who could only initialize a divorce for the most part. Heck, women didn't ever have much more choice BUT to get married prior to the fifties; due to the rapidly growing educational system at the time, and the rapid growth of economy and job markets, they don't need to rely on a man to be the bread winner and to be the sole support a household; today a woman can do all of that perfectly and even admirably all by herself. Times have changed, and so have customs.

why I think the divorce rate went up? because women now know they don't NEED a man to be happy; they now have the choice of getting divorced if their man beats them or yells at them, or always tells them where their place in society is....

hmm, your not too bright it seems since Im married and have a wonderful wife. And I can honestly say she has more respect and dignity than any obnoxious feminist like you seem to portray.




Learn to grow up. I don't know whats worse, your obnoxiousness or your ignorance.

I wouldn't get into discussions about who is bright here, (please don't start that, judging from some of your post) especially since you're only argument against feminism is that we're responsible for the high divorce rates (which you haven't really provided any credible evidence for this). You'll actually be surprised to know many feminists are happily married.

Learn to read some actual history first, then may you'll understand why the feminist movement happened. I find it ironic that you talk about my supposed ignorance when you continue to display your ignorance.

Keep it up and you'll owe me an irony meter.

Everyone, /point and /laugh @ peters.

Been there done that.

Hey, you weren´t asked to post just some colourful graphic concerning divorce rates. You were asked to post a source for your claim that the average divorce rate of feminists is 3-4.

Given the rise since the 60s in the purchasing of refrigerators, I think we can safely conclude that fridge purchasing is the cause of the increased divorce rate.

QFT. I think, though I'm not entirely certain, that even peters' graph indicates this.

And the use of personal computers is the cause for AIDS.

Only, if one isn't using a trusted virus protection, silly.

And the decline in the wearing of crinolines is obviously a major contributing factor to soaring teenage pregnancy.

I'm gonna make a graph showing how everything is the cause of everything....

"traditional" and "housewife" have nothing to do with each other. Being a "housewife" is hardly a traditional role for women.. unless you limit your tradition to a very small group of middle class women portrayed on TV during a specific period of contemporary history.

I'm going to blame spyshops... all those little gadgets that can make it REALLY easy and relatively cheap to prove just what one's hubby was truly doing when he claimed to be working overtime....

Oooh.. no.. how about microwaves? Cooking got easier so men don't need that "traditional housewife" ? Oh wait.. that doesn't put the blame on the women..... and we know only women can possibly be to blame...
