Is there a connection between birth control pill and the women's liberation movement?

We Answered:

The first oral contraceptive became available in 1960 (Imbornoni, n.d; Golden and Katz, 2002). None woman born after then has ever been forced to have an unwanted pregnancy by state or federal law, as well as the access and education about family planning has impacted the way that families have and raise children. The advent and general use of oral contraceptives has opened women up to opportunities and life choices that were unavailable to them before. After only 5 years of accessibility 41% of married women were using oral contraceptives (Golden and Katz, 2002). There was also a delay in accessibility for single women and minors, however passing of the 26th amendment and Supreme Court cases overturning laws that restricted access of the pill to married women, causing the rapid diffusion of the pill in the late 70’s. At this time, 76% of women aged 18-19 were using oral contraceptives regardless of marital status (Golden and Katz, 2002). The usage of oral contraceptives has allowed for women to delay marriage as well as increase their job marketability and access to education and other forms of work. The pill greatly impacted women’s ability to maintain lengthily educational processes and maintain a career without the risk of disruption or job loss with a pregnancy (Goldin and Katz, 2000). In the 1970’s there was a sharp rise in women’s enrollment in professional programs; law, business and medicine (Golden and Katz, 2002). As discussed previously, this is not simply an effect of the pill, but is in response to the Civil Rights Act as well as changing social roles and the legal and social rights of women.
The fertility expectations of women were also changing in this time period. The majority of persons 10-25 age cohort have mothers who were growing up in these times of female empowerment and social role change. Because our mothers had access to the pill, and were capable of deciding as to not only when but IF they wanted children at all, Generation Y is a generation of “wanted” children. By the mid 1970’s increasing numbers of women wanted fewer and fewer children, and increasing numbers wanted none at all, reflecting the choices women made about family and career (Golden and Katz, 2002).

about the women liberation movement of the late 60's in australia?

Russell Said:

what has gone with the women liberation movement in today time ! have it been good for the family unit?

We Answered:

That's far too long




There is no family unit now, its rare, the female is mother until she has to go back to work. From then on the child received more parenting from child care and the schools system than it does its parents.

40% of marriages fail and the uptake rate keeps dropping.

The family unit is on its last legs.

Ivan Said:

what would have happened if the Women's Liberation Movement had got into power and become strong worldwide?

We Answered:

I think that the Middle East would have exploded as women that have been taught that they can't even leave the house without a male, that they are property, that they are the source of evil, that they are the tool of Satan to lead men off the righous path rose up as one to smite the abusers that had circumcised, beaten, traded and sold them for so long. They would have rose up en mass to storm the court house where the woman that had been GANG RAPED was sentenced to beating and prison because SHE was blamed for her own gang rape for leaving the house without a male escort while the men that gang raped her were sent on their way until the international community learned of the injustice and rose up with money and lawyers to get the ruling over turned and the men punished.

I think that Africa would have exploded as women that had been taught that they are, literally, of less value then cattle and could be given away, traded, and sold in to slavery to pay off father's and husband's debts yet still told that they need to do a majority of the work rose up as one to smite the abusers that had circumcised, beaten, traded and sold them for so long.

I think that South America would have exploded as women that had been told that, because of religious belief, would have to die along with the child instead of aborting the fetus that was endangering the mothers life and were constantly under threat of being raped in the gang and poverty infested areas rose up as one to smite those that had endangered their safety, health, and livelihood for so long.

I think that in America, the statistics that show that one out of 4 children is molested by a family member, close friend, or, more rarely, a stranger would change because women would be in charge of the laws an punishment for such horrible people. I think that women, en mass, would rise up against the fact that one in five women is sexually assaulted in their life time. I think that rates of STD’s would go down because men wouldn’t be able to guilt trip women in to not using protection…

I think that in Asia, women wouldn’t have to walk 2 steps behind their men… Though, for a culture that wants women to be subservient, they have made the most progress in the last 100 years… Gotta give them props for that!

To this day, in a MAJORITY OF THE WORLD, women are still treated, through culture or religion, as "Evil", "Dirty", to be used to make men happy and breed up the heirs...

Women in the United States and other Western Cultures have no idea what REAL oppression means…

If a guy looks at your breasts for too long you act as if you have been raped while women around the globe need to worry about being held down and having their labia and clitoris sliced up and their vagina sewn shut and being, LITERALLY, sold by their fathers to a man and saying it is an “Arranged Marriage” or they don’t even use the cute euphemisms and LITERALLY sell them in lieu of paying money for their debt.

SLAVERY IS STILL HAPPENING IN AFRICA, ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND EVEN THE UNITED STATES.

Asian women being shipped in to the US in cargo containers to be held captive in “massage parlors” and are forced to work as sex slaves or in sweat shops…

Young children are sold to American and European tourists in South America for “Pedophile Tourism”.

We Western Women need to gain some perspective and stop complaining that a man tells a P u s s y Joke within hearing distance of you and realize that we don’t need to worry about being sold in to slavery or mutilated through “Female Circumcision”.

The woman’s movement isn’t important for Western Women, we have a ways to go but still… We got it good… We need to fight for those that are brainwashed from birth to believe that they are noting but penis warmers, to be used and thrown away.

REBELLION NEVER SUCCEEDS AGAINST GOD'S WILL!

Chris Said:

Why is the women's liberation movement not liberating them from selling toothpaste in bikini ?

We Answered:

Did the woman you refer to have a ball and chain attached to her foot to stop her running away? Liberation is about freedom, and obviously this girl wanted to sell toothpaste whilst wearing a bikini. Or at least, the money she received for her time, and for showing off her beautiful body to help with the sales of said product, was sufficient, and swayed her decision.

Who are you to say that women's liberation specifically means that women should no longer be allowed to use attraction as a means to generate funds?

EDIT:

You can call it what the hell you want, it doesn't change the fact that this woman is free to do what she wants. You really have no reason to call this form of advertising oppressive.
You don't want freedom, you want a dictatorship, with yourself as the OPPRESSIVE leader so that you can force people not to do the things that you deem to be inappropriate, no matter how harmless the action. Yes, YOU are oppressive.

And no, I am absolutely not with you. I seriously doubt that any feminist would be with you either. Most people, even if they don't believe in using sexual attraction for advertising, would not be with you for the simple reason that you're proposing that women have LESS freedom of choice, not more. Hence, NOT liberating them in the slightest.

Oh, and I've looked through your questions. You don't ask questions in order to expand your understanding of the world, you ask rhetorical questions with the sole purpose of pushing your beliefs down other people's throats, and you are very arrogant, self-righteous and close-minded.
