How important should a woman's career aspirations be when choosing a partner?

Feminism has fought for many things that do not belong in a healthy society. I think immediately of abortion and contraception. Women rose to a healthy, complementary equality with the advent of Christianity. There are many valid reasons why it could be good for a society that only landholders vote: they have the most interest in the good of the community because they can’t up and leave as easily. As long as families were more united, it gave the family one voice (and just as the opposite was also true, it seems most frequently women are a large influence in their husbands). I mention women’s suffrage, (to be clear, that is their right to vote) only to say that women weren’t as bad off as often assumed. Whether that was good or bad, the feminism of the sexual revolution is definitely NOT a good or healthy ideal, as we see now with the breakdown of the family. Saudi Arabia does not need ‘feminist ideals’ nearly so much as it needs Christianity.

Yes, I agree with this…I definitely think that the original ‘intent’ if you will of the feminist movement, was to allow women to vote (very good thing) and to receive equal pay, should they find themselves in the work place (a very good thing). But, contraception and abortion are not only byproducts of the feminist movement. I think the falling away for so many from Christian principles in our country, is at the helm of the sexual ‘revolution.’ I really don’t like that term for what has gone wrong sexually, in America. I liken the term revolution to a rebirth. There is nothing refreshing and good about how far our morals have decayed in modern day society.

I think contraception and abortion aren’t solely the product of feminism. It’s true that many secular feminist women advocate them both, but they can also be seen as a way for men to be able to sexually use women more easily without having to bear the responsibility of taking care of the resulting children, and that is contrary to feminism.

I think contraception and abortion would have been made prevalent even if feminism did not exist, because men would want the consequence free sex with lots of women. It just so happens that the science needed to develop effective contraception and feminism took place at the same time.
