Feminism and It's Effect on Global Warming

The marriages and divorce is not the focus of the discussion. It's the higher carbon emissions due to less people living together.

False acc. What if divorced people just go and live with other people - family, new partners, flat shares etc?

The quality of these feminism rant threads is falling faster than a whore's pants. (inb4 misogynist)

Feminism caused global warming? This is the funniest thing I've ever seen. You have a great point. Here are some other bad things about feminism.

Feminism started WW1 and WW2.

Feminism is the reason that wasps exist.

Feminism is probably the reason tap water sometimes tastes bad.

God this is ****ing stupid. Why should marriage be encouraged? There are many more things we could do instead of encouraging people to go into a very expensive formal commitment.

Like installing solar panels and car sockets into every new house built.

Solar panels require a chunk of disposable cash of their own.

So does marriage.

Nontheless. Less people married = less people living together = more carbon emissions. You'd be foolish to dispute that feminism hasn't contributed to the notion that marriage is oppressive to women.

Well, not being free to get a divorce is oppressive to both parties, so in that sense, yes.

Nontheless. Less people married = less people living together = more carbon emissions. You'd be foolish to dispute that feminism hasn't contributed to the notion that marriage is oppressive to women.

We need to think about all the effects of feminism, though. What about their championing of 'pro-choice' for abortions, or the fact that increased gender equality reduces fertility rates? More childless career women means fewer children.

Go on...

Well internationally, achieving gender equality in education could prevent the global population skyrocketing over the next few years. I'd say that's quite important.

But more women than men go to uni now. Ergo, it's not within the remit of feminism.

Well not within the UK, no. Although Western feminism does provide support for women's education around the world.

Sorry. Did you mean marriages were always unhappy?

If feminism has been influencing the mindsets of women over the past thirty years (and marriage was central to their mantra) then how can you absolve it as a movement when the people it has influenced start behaving in certain ways. Wasn't the whole premise to change the way women think about things?

And whether you think divorce is important or not is not really my concern. The argument was that more people living alone = greater carbon emissions. The notion is not a difficult one to grasp.
