Do you think, feminism has reached an extreme level? Does this, in your opinion, have a bad effect on families? (divorce rate rocketing high, child rate decreasing...) What are your thoughts on the new "masculism" movements?

If the child rate is decreasing, it's a good thing. The earth can only support so many people and we are rapidly approaching its limit.

not extreme,just higher.we should be reliefed,they are now doing a lot of hard work.the truth is,the women are the ones keeping the families together.as per the decreasing population,don't you think it is a good thing?

No, but I do think some people are getting the wrong idea... I always thought the point of feminism was for men and women to have equal rights, but some (faux)feminists act like women should get treated BETTER than men. I don't think that's fair... Also, I think if someone doesn't take responsibility for their actions and blames someone else for it (feminists, their mother, Cubans, whatever), they should probably stop and go to therapy. I think the divorce rate is going up more because of the economy than anything else. From what I've observed and read, people have the tendency to marry/elope younger and without thinking about it as much when the economy is bad, for some reason, and they end up divorced because they hurried into the marriage. As far as birth rates, isn't that good? I mean, I hear we might be having some overpopulation problems... Feminism started so that women would have EQUAL rights as men. They still don't, in some areas. So what exactly would the "masculism" movement entail?

No, I don't think feminism has reached an extreme level. I don't see how equality can ever bee extreme- and equality is all that feminism is about. Does equality have a bad effect on families? No, equality is a good thing. I have never heard of a "masculism" movement, unless you mean a bunch of guys getting together in the woods, practicing primal scream therapy, and passing the talking stick as they all cry because their fathers did not love them.

Yes, feminism today is merely a platform for misandry, and hate is always a bad thing for society.

feminism is supposed to be about letting the woman choose. lately it has become a movement of some women who tell you that if you are a SAHM you are inferior. that you MUST choose a career and leave your baby in daycare. this is contradictory of the true meaning of the movement.
-
The child rate is not decreasing. In fact, we're in the middle of another baby boom! Divorce rates are rocketing because people marry too quickly.

I dont think there should be feminists or "masculinists" (is that even a word). I dont think there should be groups that value one sex over the other. I think there should be equality and most feminists and feminist movements are about lifting women up to the place of men, which is something I support. If a woman divorces a man because she feels empowered by some feminist idealogy, then maybe he was too much to put up with in the first place but she didnt want to leave him for whatever misplaced restrictions that society has placed on her. So I support equality, but I also support the empowerement of any group that feels inferior.

Both rate changes - divorce rate up, fertility rate down - are actually good things. 1. A high divorce rate is indicative of - (A) The country holds freedom to be a higher priority than tradition, which it should be; and (B) People aren't forced to stay in abusive or loveless marriages. 2. A low fertility rate is indicative of - (A) A healthy, modernized economy; historically, people have had many children because they needed the labour; and (B) higher education rates among women - statistics in several countries, first-world to third-world, show that wherever women are allowed more educational and political freedoms, they usually decide to have less children than they would otherwise. ------------------------------------ 3. As for masculism - the entire movement is founded on a misconception: that feminism is an inherently gender-biased movement, which seeks to make women superior...it doesn't. Feminism in its proper form is a movement for equality of the genders; Unfortunately, it has been swallowed up as far as popular perceptions are concerned, by the radical feminist movement.

Has feminism reached an extreme level? Yes. Does this have a bad effect on families? Yes. Masculism is analogous to anti-terrorism. If it weren't for feminism, masculism would be unnecessary.

no, i think males are no longer the same caliber of men that they once were. if it seems that women are more manly, its because someone has to be! Men are no longer seeking marriage and family because they are afraid they may have to share their money with the family. and dont even mention the words commitment or monogamy to a man unless you want to really piss him off, because, after all, women are only sex tools and he should be free to use as many as possible, and create as many children to abandon as he wants! Hope this helps you figure out why the birth rates and marriage rates are dropping! you cant really justify blaming the family crisis on women, when its the men who abandon their children, cheat, have multiple g/f and sex partners and run from any type of responsibilty. If men want a femenine wife, they need to be MEN!

Masculinism is sexism with a better PR firm. Feminism is now mainstream but implementation of equality could be better.

Yes. Yes. And they seem a bit gay to me.
