"About marriage" was basically about how the feminism movement has actually hurt women by "cheapening" wedding vows, making it easily for women to abandon their traditional roles within the family, and by making it wasy for husbands to abandon their families. Personally, I think this is just all a bunch of garbage. I think that the author uses feminism as an excuse for why men leave their families. What is wrong with women going out into the work force? Absolutely nothing. What is wrong with women wanting to contribute to a family by going out and working? Nothing again. Feminism has actually helped the family and women in general rather than hurt anything.

Posted by: Kayla Lukacs at February 8, 2005 09:08 PMThat is a very great point and i think this would definitely be a good class discussion. I would say straight up that there is nothing wrong with women going into the army, women making more money than men and women contributing to the family by going out and working. I 100% agree with you, i think society needs to open up their eyes and how much women have contributed instead of judging us women and trying to make us inferior

Posted by: Matt Nelson at February 9, 2005 07:58 PMYou are completely right. I think it's a terrific accomplishment for women to be taking an active role in the work force. That is not a real reason for a family to break up it's just a lame excuse.
