Paper Summary:

The feminism movement may have liberated women, giving them equal opportunities and rights as men, but with these positives there have also been many negative effects. This paper looks at how a breakdown in family values has caused countless problems with our youth and how an increase in contraceptive technology has destroyed the social class balance and made sexual activity in our youth run rampart. It also discusses how an abolishment of gender roles is causing confusion among men and causes more violence against women. It attempts to show how the feminism movement has ultimately put far to much responsibility on females.

From the Paper:

"One of the more obvious negative effects of feminism has been the almost complete destruction of gender roles. With the movement working to abolish the female stereotype, the male stereotype is being abolished with it. Just as females are no longer expected to act caring, fragile and motherly, males are no longer expected to behave tough, masculine and fatherly. This is resulting in a breakdown between the distinction of male and female roles. This trend has even gone as far as to have the acting out of traditional gender roles as almost taboo. For instance a female high school student who wishes to grow up, get married and stay at home would almost certainly be frowned upon. However, as Fitzgerald (2004) explained "the truth is, men are supposed to be men and women are supposed to be women."
