Modern Feminism (3rd/4th Wave) is Unnecessary as well as Unfair to Men.
Firstly, this debate is about feminism in the West. I thought that was obvious. I apologize. Saudi Arabia The literacy rate for women is 91%. They receive education. In fact, over HALF of university grads are women. The average age of first marriage is 25. In fact, many conservative women adamantly oppose their own liberation. Translation? They don't WANT rights. In fact, there is a high percentage of women in parliament in S.A. They are in a position to improve their lives yet do not. Feminism in those countries is first or second wave, not third and fourth. Source- Same as my opponent's Afghanistan My opponent did not just cite the source, he also C/P'd the ENTIRE article. Early emperors advocated for women's rights. Also, there was an Afghan queen, whereas we have yet to have a female president. In 1921, King Amanullah made many laws abolishing forced marriage, child marriage, bride price, and put restrictions on polygamy. The only problem is that there was difficulty enforcing laws. This is an illegal conduct, and is opposed by the formal government. After the Taliban was deposed, women have been given a plethora of rights. In fact, they are better off than in S.A! So these instances are illegal, and not allowed by the government. https://en.wikipedia.org... Mali Women in Mali are legally equal to males. Actions against them are unlawful. 10.5% of the parliament of Mali are women. Once again, they are in a position to improve their lives. Yet they don't. Males and females are also offered equal health care. Poor equipment is the cause for the deaths. Marriage is only legal for women at 18, and for men at 21. https://en.wikipedia.org... Your arguments are both flawed and incorrect. Even Wikipedia knows more than your source, which is biased towards feminism. The point is, my opponent's source (http://www.feministezine.com...) is heavily biased and while is partially correct, the actions against women in these countries is illegal and the fault of those perpetrating them and not the fault of the government or lack of feminism.
